Etymologies
- From connect + -ome. (Wiktionary)
Examples
“Even in the current speculative realm, the connectome is a fascinating, occasionally frustrating, subject.”
“At the moment, researchers are working to build such a map, called a "connectome," of mouse brains, which are far less complex than human ones.”
“The connectome is a product of your genes and your experiences.”
“The work .. not only provides a comprehensive map of brain connections the brain "connectome", but also describes a novel application of a non-invasive technique that can be used by other scientists to continue mapping the trillions of neural connections in the brain at even greater resolution, which is becoming a new field of science termed "connectomics.”
“Echoing the aims of the Human Genome Project the authors argue that a detailed 'connectome' is needed to fully understand how different areas of the human brain interconnect.”
“I've called the set of all these functions or powers of the brain the "teleome" a name that emphasizes the unabashed teleology that's required to truly make sense of the brain, and is simultaneously designed to razz the "-ome" buzzwords like 'genome' and 'connectome'.”
The Huffington Post: Mark Changizi, Ph.D.: Artificial Brains: Not in This Century
“The institute plans to link the brain atlas to data assembled through the connectome project.”
“The field is so new that it didn't have a name until 1995, when Indiana University neuroscientist Olaf Sporns dubbed the nervous system's tangle of cells and synapses the "connectome" pronounced connect-tome.”
“The information thus contained in your connectome is what sets you apart from everyone else, what describes your unique personality.”
“Yet the widespread use of pharmaceutical agents such as Prozac and Ritalin suggests otherwise—that knowing the connectome is unlikely to tell us all we need to know about a person's thoughts, feelings, opinions and personality.”

ruzuzu "In 2005, Dr. Olaf Sporns at Indiana University and Dr. Patric Hagmann at Lausanne University Hospital independently and simultaneously suggested the term "connectome" to refer to a map of the neural connections within the brain. This term was directly inspired by the ongoing effort to sequence the human genetic code—to build a genome."
