connectome mapping

Connectome mapping involves creating a detailed map of all the neural connections in the brain, much like a wiring diagram for a complex electronic system. Scientists use advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI, to visualize how different brain regions are interconnected through neural pathways. This map helps researchers understand how the brain processes information, supports behaviors, and how its wiring might change in development or disease. Essentially, connectome mapping provides a comprehensive blueprint of the brain’s network, offering insights into its structure and function at a systems level.
