The BRAIN CONNECTS consortium has released a groundbreaking dataset capturing the intricate wiring of the human cortex at unprecedented resolution. This marks a major advance toward comprehensive human brain connectomics, achieved through coordinated efforts in tissue processing, imaging, and data integration. The dataset is now accessible through the Brain Knowledge Platform, offering a new foundation for understanding human cognition, behavior, and disease.

The BRAIN CONNECTS team has released a new suite of open-source tools designed to streamline the analysis of high-resolution human brain connectivity data. Built for interoperability with existing neuroimaging platforms, the toolkit includes modules for image registration, tract reconstruction, and data visualization. Hosted on GitHub and fully documented, the tools are already being adopted by CONNECTS collaborators and are freely available to the broader neuroscience community.

To accelerate large-scale analysis of human brain connectivity data, the BRAIN CONNECTS consortium has deployed its processing pipeline to the cloud. Leveraging scalable infrastructure, researchers can now run high-throughput workflows — from raw image alignment to wiring diagram generation — without local compute limitations. This shift enables faster collaboration, reproducibility, and access for labs of all sizes across the neuroscience community.
