Concluded in 2021, The Human Connectome Project (HCP) was an ambitious effort to map the neural pathways of the human brain to connect its structure to function and behavior. The project helped acquire and share data about the structural and functional connectivity of the human brain. 

Lifespan Connectome

Expanded data collection to healthy subjects of all ages including children and older adults. 

Disease Connectome

Expanded data on the structural and functional connectome in Alzheimer’s disease subtypes; low vision, blindness, and sight restoration; epilepsy; anxiety and depression in adolescents; familial and sporadic frontotemporal degeneration; early psychosis; brain aging and dementia. 

Data Coordinating Center

The Connectome Coordination Facility maintains a central data repository for Human Connectome data collected from the original HCP consortia as well as other research laboratories. The Coordination Facility also offers a help desk to advise the research community about the best data collection strategies that will allow harmonization between new and existing data.
