HUMAN CONNECTOME PROJECT

The Human Connectome Project is a five-year project sponsored by sixteen components of the National Institutes of Health, split between two consortia of research institutions. Funding for the Harvard/MGH-USC consortium is provided through the grant award U01-MH93765... The HCP is leveraging key scientific domains that together yield a steady release of increasingly detailed connectomics data and tools. First, we have begun amassing data for the release of a very large, existing connectomic, behavioral and genomic dataset, including a large sample study in MZ/DZ twin pairs, will encourage broad participation in the HCP by the larger research community. These rich data will also allow us to quantify genetic (Chiang et al., 2009) and behavioral variation of white matter fiber pathways and functional correlations for analysis by the entire community, and help define an optimized methodology for collection of a definitive connectome dataset using DSI (V. J. Wedeen, 2005). Concurrently, we..
