Human Connectome Project pieces together neural data through brain scans

UCLA's Daily Bruin covers the Human Connectome Project with Drs. Toga, Van Horn, and Thompson.

A collaborative project at UCLA's Laboratory of Neuro Imaging looks at how the brain integrates neural information to help scientists better understand brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's, autism and multiple sclerosis. The Human Connectome Project, which was established in 2009, is the first of its kind in the field of connectomics, which is the study of interactions between different parts of the nervous system, said Arthur Toga, director of the UCLA Laboratory of Neuro Imaging who is one of the principal investigators.

"The axonal connections that link brain regions form a surprisingly regular grid that may someday yield insights into the pathology underlying schizophrenia, autism, and other disorders, according to researchers involved with the Human Connectome Project."

"Discovering the Human Connectome"
Olaf Sporns, PhD
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences,
Programs in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, Indiana University

April 5, 2012
11:00am – 12:00pm
Neuroscience Research Building (NRB 132)

Recent advances in network science have greatly increased our understanding of many complex networked systems, ranging from transportation networks, to social networks, the internet, ecosystems, and biochemical and gene transcription pathways. Network approaches are also increasingly applied in the context of neuroscience, at several levels of scale from cells to circuits and large-scale systems. A broad range of empirical strategies aim at creating comprehensive maps of the brain's connections, the connectome. Initial results obtained from the first connectome maps of the human brain reveal a number of characteristic topological features, including small-world attributes, modularity and hubs, and a pronounced core and rich-club organization. Dr. Sporns will review how recent network studies have given us new insights into the brain's connection topology, and how these studies provide new insight into the relationship between structure and functional dynamics.
