Center for mesoscale connectomics
Understanding brain connections by integrating data across scales and organisms.
In the short term, CMC will map the mesoscale connections between the frontal and parietal cortices which communicate with one another.
These connections likely subserve higher-order functions such as attention, decision-making, prospection, and executive control.
The Center for Mesoscale Connectomics is supported by NIH UM1NS132207 as well as funds from the University of Minnesota’s Medical Discovery Team on Addiction, Department of Neuroscience, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, and Institute for Translational Neuroscience.
