YOU know, what these people do is really very clever. They put little spies into the molecules and send radio signals to them, and they have to radio back what they are seeing.Niels Bohr(Nobel prize in Physics)

The Connectome
In complete analogy to the word genome. The -ome emphasizes the notion that the brain is a large and unique complex system: a network made of structural and functional connections (edges) linking specific neural units (nodes).

Were doing a really shitty job. Its not because were not trying; it has to do with the complexity of the problemGuy Rouleau, the director of McGill Universitys Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI)

Van Horn et al. Brain Imaging Behav. 2014
The amount of acquired neuroimaging data reported from published articles in representative isues of the journal NeuroImage has doubled every 26 months and can expect to top 20GB of purely raw data on average per study in only a few years. Amassing, curating, storing, and sharing of such data from neuroimaging archives presents a growing big data challenge.19
