Structural and Functional Connectivity Maps

Caption

The Washington U. / U. Minnesota Connectome project will map the brain connections in each of 1200 participants. In the left image, yellow and red show a map of "structural connectivity" in human cerebral cortex (regions that are connected to the blue spot as revealed by diffusion MRI). In the right image, yellow and red show a map of "functional connectivity" (regions associated with the blue spot as revealed by functional MRI).
