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 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'.

That only began to change after 2005, when cognitive neuroscientist Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in Bloomington called for a concerted effort to map every connection in living brains, to produce what he called the “connectome“.

ruzuzu commented on the word connectome
"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."
