Millennium Pathways for Tractography: 40 grand challenges to shape the future of tractography.

In the spirit of the historic <i>Millennium Prize Problems</i> that heralded a new era for mathematics, the newly formed International Society for Tractography (IST) has launched the <i>Millennium Pathways for Tractography</i>, a community-driven roadmap designed to shape the future of the field. Conceived during the inaugural <i>Tract-Anat Retreat</i>, this initiative reflects a collective vision for advancing tractography over the coming decade and beyond. The roadmap consists of 40 grand challenges, developed by international experts and organized into seven categories spanning three overarching themes: neuroanatomy, tractography methods, and clinical applications. By defining shared short-, medium-, and long-term goals, these pathways provide a structured framework to confront fundamental limitations, promote rigorous validation, and accelerate the translation of tractography into a robust tool for neuroscience and medicine. Ultimately, the <i>Millennium Pathways</i> aim to guide and inspire future research and collaboration, ensuring the continued scientific and clinical relevance of tractography well into the future.

Abstract

In the spirit of the historic <i>Millennium Prize Problems</i> that heralded a new era for mathematics, the newly formed International Society for Tractography (IST) has launched the <i>Millennium Pathways for Tractography</i>, a community-driven roadmap designed to shape the future of the field. Conceived during the inaugural <i>Tract-Anat Retreat</i>, this initiative reflects a collective vision for advancing tractography over the coming decade and beyond. The roadmap consists of 40 grand challenges, developed by international experts and organized into seven categories spanning three overarching themes: neuroanatomy, tractography methods, and clinical applications. By defining shared short-, medium-, and long-term goals, these pathways provide a structured framework to confront fundamental limitations, promote rigorous validation, and accelerate the translation of tractography into a robust tool for neuroscience and medicine. Ultimately, the <i>Millennium Pathways</i> aim to guide and inspire future research and collaboration, ensuring the continued scientific and clinical relevance of tractography well into the future.
