Istvan Huszar: developed the TIRL software and protocol for co-registration of the MRI-microscopy data.
Adele Smart: acquired and processed the microscopy data, including co-registration to MRI with hand drawn masks.
Michiel Cottaar: developed protocol for multiple diffusion tensor encoding.
Greg Daubney: processed tissue for microscopy, including sectioning, staining and mounting.
Taylor Hanayik: developed software for the Digital Brain Bank platform for downloading and viewing the data.
Alexandre Khrapitchev: optimised scanning protocols and acquired postmortem MRI.
Rogier Mars: provided high resolution MRI protocol and advised on data processing and analysis.
Jeroen Mollink: developed software and protocols for polarised light imaging and structure tensor analysis.
Connor Scott: facilitated slide scanning.
Nicola Sibson: facilitated postmortem MR scanning.
Jerome Sallet: lead in vivo data acquisition, provided project oversight and original MRI protocol, and facilitated MR acquisition and tissue processing for microscopy.
Saad Jbabdi: project oversight - supervised all aspects of data acquisition, curation and analysis.
Karla Miller: project oversight - supervised all aspects of the data acquisition, curation and analysis.
