Description
The fast development of diffusion MRI techniques made possible the mapping of the connections of the human brain on a macroscopic level: the graph consist several hundred, anatomically identified vertices, corresponding to 1-1.5 cm^2 areas of the gray matter (called Regions of Interests, ROIs), and two such vertices are connected by an edge if axonal fiber tracts are discovered between them. We have examined the resulting graphs in numerous viewpoints, and mapped the individual variabilities, the sex differences, the conservative edges, and the axonal development of the human brain in these studies. We will concentrate on the phenomenon of the Consensus Connectome Dynamics in our talk, and will explore the consequences of this surprising phenomenon.
