MyConnectome project
The MyConnectome project documented how the brain of a single person changed over the course of 18 months. The study tracked the behavioural and neuroanatomical changes of a generally healthy caucasian male, aged 45 years at the beginning of the study, from the United States of America. The participant underwent 104 MRI scanning sessions and 48 blood draws between September 2012 and March 2014.
