Hippocampal volume is the first imaging biomarker to be qualified, with the help of ADNI data, by the European Medicines Agency to select patients for clinical trials. [42] ADNI also contributed to the development of a standardized technique to manually measure hippocampal volume from MRI scans for use in clinical trials. [43] APOE ε4 allele.
Macroscale connectomics refers to using functional and structural MRI data to map out large fiber tracts and functional gray matter areas within the brain in terms of blood flow (functional) and water diffusivity (structural). Microscale connectomics is the mapping of small organisms' complete connectome using microscopy and histology.
A connectome (/ k ə ˈ n ɛ k t oʊ m /) is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". [2] An organism's nervous system is made up of neurons which communicate through synapses. A connectome is constructed by tracing the neuron in a nervous system and mapping where neurons are ...
The connectogram, as a graphical representation of brain connectomics, was proposed in 2012. [1]Circular representations of connections have been used in a number of disciplines; examples include representation of aspects of epidemics, [2] geographical networks, [3] musical beats, [4] diversity in bird populations, [5] and genomic data.

The WU-Minn-Oxford consortium developed improved MRI instrumentation, image acquisition and image analysis methods for mapping the connectivity in the human brain at spatial resolutions significantly better than previously available; using these methods, WU-Minn-Oxford consortium collected a large amount of MRI and behavioral data on 1,200 healthy adults — twin pairs and their siblings from ...
The structural connections found from diffusion MRI imaging and the functional correlations from resting state fMRI show the highest level of overlap and agreement within the DMN areas. [1] This provides evidence that neurons in the DMN regions are linked to each other through large tracts of axons and this causes activity in these areas to be ...
It has also been suggested that retrosplenial cortex may translate between egocentric (self-centred) and allocentric (world-centred) spatial information, based upon its anatomical location between the hippocampus (where there are allocentric place cell representations) and the parietal lobe (which integrates egocentric sensory information).
The first MR images of a human brain were obtained in 1978 by two groups of researchers at EMI Laboratories led by Ian Robert Young and Hugh Clow. [1] In 1986, Charles L. Dumoulin and Howard R. Hart at General Electric developed MR angiography, [2] and Denis Le Bihan obtained the first images and later patented diffusion MRI. [3]
