Human Brain Project (HBP) scientists utilized a unique multi-scale approach, incorporating various experimental methods, to investigate the complex organization of the brain’s connectome. They combined techniques like anatomical and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, two-photon fluorescence microscopy, and 3D Polarized Light Imaging to visualize and understand nerve fibers at different spatial scales. Their findings, linked within the Julich Brain Atlas for reference, reveal fresh insights into the connectivity and…
