Definition

  • A comprehensive map of the physical interconnections of an organism's neural networks. This modular organization of neuronal architecture is believed to underlie disease mechanisms and the biological development of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. A concerted research effort financed by the National Institutes of Health to map and create a database of neural connections of the human brain. A field of NEUROSCIENCE which deals with the physical mapping of neural circuits that collect, process, and archive information, in the nervous system. Such maps could ultimately shed light on the early development of the human brain and on diseases such as AUTISM and SCHIZOPHRENIA, linked to faulty neural connections. Connectome of human nervous systems.
