Researchers in the field of connectomics endeavor to analyze the complex synaptic network formed by the billions of interconnected neurons. By thinly slicing neural tissue and imaging each section with a scanning electron microscope at high resolution, fine structural details can be visualized. Careful delineation of each neuron in the 3-D volume allows for the high-resolution mapping of all connections made by each cell, providing a detailed wiring diagram of the brain : the connectome. 1, record 1, English, - connectomics

A connectome is the complete map of the neural connections in a brain. It is sometimes referred to as a “wiring diagram” of the molecular connections between neurons, trading on the analogy of a brain to an electronic device, where axons and dendrites are wires and neuron bodies are components. Depending on the scientist, the term connectome may or may not also include learning-relevant molecular states at each synaptic connection(the "synaptome") and any learning-relevant changes in the nucleus of each neuron(the "epigenome"). 2, record 2, English, - connectome

Le connectome est un plan complet des connexions neuronales dans un cerveau. La production et l'étude des connectomes est connue sous le nom de connectomique. À l'échelle microscopique, elle décrit la disposition des neurones et des synapses à l'intérieur d'une partie ou d'une totalité du système nerveux d'un organisme. À l'échelle «macroscopique», elle étudie la connectivité fonctionnelle et structurelle entre toutes les aires corticales et les structures sous-corticales. 2, record 2, French, - connectome
