As a result, current knowledge about the connectivity of
the human AAN is largely based upon extrapolations from animal data.

With NIH funding of the
Human Connectome Project (http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org), the field of
AAN connectomics is now expanding due to ultra-high resolution HARDI techniques for structural connectomic analyses and resting - state functional MRI (rs - fMRI) techniques for functional connectivity analyses.
In 2012, our laboratory initiated a study of
AAN structural connectivity in ex vivo
human brain specimens and in a living
human subject - a study made possible by high resolution MRI scanners and high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) sequences developed at the Massachusetts General Hospital Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging.
