<P> A connectome (/ kəˈnɛktoʊm /) is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". More broadly, a connectome would include the mapping of all neural connections within an organism's nervous system . </P> <P> The production and study of connectomes, known as connectomics, may range in scale from a detailed map of the full set of neurons and synapses within part or all of the nervous system of an organism to a macro scale description of the functional and structural connectivity between all cortical areas and subcortical structures . The term "connectome" is used primarily in scientific efforts to capture, map, and understand the organization of neural interactions within the brain . </P>

A complete map of all the synaptic connections within an individuals nervous system is a
