The IST interdisciplinary definitions network is seeking member input for shaping the strategy in tackling anatomical definitions. Comment below with answers to these questions that can help guide the discussion.
-
What is your scientific background? (e.g., neuroscience, computer science, clinical neurology, etc.)
-
How do you use tractography or tract-tracing methods in your work?
-
What do you want from a bundle definition? What essential information should it include?
-
What species and what scale are most relevant to your research or practice? (e.g., human macroscale, rodent microscale, etc.)
-
What data will you apply the definition to, if any? (e.g., HCP-style data, clinical scans, ex-vivo, etc.)
-
What is your dMRI use case, if any? (e.g., surgical planning, biomarker development, connectomics, etc.
-
What would you like defined in the future? Beyond internal capsule and top clinical tracts.
-
What scale should definitions include? Axons? Macroscale connectivity only? Other attributes? How do we describe bundles at different scales?
-
How much information about the complexity of axonal organization does the dMRI tractographer want to know?
-
Can tractography help define bundles? Can definitions help tractography in new ways in the future?
-
In the future, how could the Interdisciplinary Definitions Unit interact with other Units such as Standardization and others?
