Book Description
One of the major challenges of modern neuroscience is to define the complex pattern of neural connections that underlie cognition and behaviour. This atlas capitalises on novel diffusion MRI tractography methods to provide a comprehensive overview of connections derived from virtual in vivo tractography dissections of the human brain.

Book Description
This book has brought together leading investigators who work in the new arena of brain connectomics. This includes ‘macro-connectome’ efforts to comprehensively chart long-distance pathways and functional networks; ‘micro-connectome’ efforts to identify every neuron, axon, dendrite, synapse, and glial process within restricted brain regions; and ‘meso-connectome’ efforts to systematically map both local and long-distance connections using anatomical tracers. This book highlights cutting-edge methods that can accelerate progress in elucidating static ‘hard-wired’ circuits of the brain as well as dynamic interactions that are vital for brain function. The power of connectomic approaches in characterizing abnormal circuits in the many brain disorders that afflict humankind is considered. Experts in computational neuroscience and network theory provide perspectives needed for synthesizing across different scales in space and time. Altogether, this book provides an integrated view of the challenges and opportunities in deciphering brain circuits in health and disease.

Book Description
Current atlases based on DTI provide a useful complement to monkey atlases derived from axonal tracing methods and allow indirect comparison across species, but they leave roughly 50% of the human brain connections unmapped. This atlas fills that gap, offering the first comprehensive coverage of human white matter connections. Using novel tractography methods developed in the Catani lab it both enables visualization of tracts not present in recently published atlases due to the limitations of the DT mode and depicts in detail the anatomy of short U-shaped fibers. 180 pages of sagittal, axial and coronal images are included. Provides tractography of long white matter pathways acquired with cSD, a new method more accurate than traditional Diffusion Tensor Imaging The first atlas to provide tractography of short white matter pathways Enables researchers to learn more about white matter connections in the human brain and compare them with what is known about such connections in the brains of nonhuman primates

Book Description
Significant advances in brain research have been made, but investigators who face the resulting explosion of data need new methods to integrate the pieces of the "brain puzzle." Based on the expertise of more than 100 neuroscientists and computer specialists, this new volume examines how computer technology can meet that need. Featuring outstanding color photography, the book presents an overview of the complexity of brain research, which covers the spectrum from human behavior to genetic mechanisms. Advances in vision, substance abuse, pain, and schizophrenia are highlighted. The committee explores the potential benefits of computer graphics, database systems, and communications networks in neuroscience and reviews the available technology. Recommendations center on a proposed Brain Mapping Initiative, with an agenda for implementation and a look at issues such as privacy and accessibility.
