This experience works best on desktops and laptops which have mouse or track-pad capabilities. We recommend using one of these for the best results!
Warning: This project shows 3-dimensional data of brain tissue from non-human primates imaged using fluorescence microscopy.
The Team
Center for Mesoscale Connectomics (CMC)
The CMC is a multi-institutional collaboration between several researchers across various pioneering research institutes including the University of Minnesota, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Texas Austin, The Allen Institute, Oxford University, and the University of Nottingham. CMC's main goals are to understand how complex neural pathways and networks can shape the brain’s remarkable ability to generate a rich variety of human behaviors using advanced techniques in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, anatomical tract-tracing, optical imaging, and advanced computational analysis tools. CMC will map the mesoscale connections – i.e., those ranging from micrometers to millimeters – between the frontal and parietal cortices of the brain which communicate with one another.
