2005 O. Sporns et al. in PLoS Computational Biol. (online journal, accessed 31 July 2018) 1 0245/1 The purpose of this article is to discuss research strategies aimed at a comprehensive structural description of the network of elements and connections forming the human brain. We propose to call this dataset the human ‘connectome’.
2008 Science 11 July 181/3 The ‘connectome’ of the human cortex has been produced by an international team of brain scientists and imagers.
2012 Guardian 8 May 10/3 The first detailed connectomes are expected to be completed, and made publicly available for scientists to work on, later this year.
2018 E. C. Goldfield Bioinspired Devices vi. 202 The rapid increase in synaptic density, as well as the elongation of axons at around twenty-six weeks, may initiate connectome formation.
