Connectomics not only maps the circuitry of the links and nodes, the so - called structural connectivity of the brain, but also the dynamic correlations that arise among regions when circuits are active: the functional connectivity.

Both electrical mapping with the implanted electrodes and the more conventional functional whole - brain imaging in a magnetic scanner identified a cluster of regions in the FFA in both cortical hemispheres of Blackwell's brain that responded strongly to faces.

«Though the «blind brain» wiring may change greatly in the blind in its frontal language related parts, it still retains the most fundamental topographical and functional connectivity organizational principles of the visual cortex, known as «retinotopic mapping» — the processing of two - dimensional visual images through the eye,» said co-lead researcher Amir Amedi, associate professor of medical neurobiology at the Hebrew University's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - Cabrain» wiring may change greatly in the blind in its frontal language related parts, it still retains the most fundamental topographical and functional connectivity organizational principles of the visual cortex, known as «retinotopic mapping» — the processing of two - dimensional visual images through the eye,» said co-lead researcher Amir Amedi, associate professor of medical neurobiology at the Hebrew University's Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - CaBrain Sciences and IMRIC, the Institute for Medical Research Israel - Canada.

For the last decade, neuroscientists have been using the non-invasive brain - mapping technique functional called magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI to examine activity patterns in human and animal brains in the resting state in order to figure out how different parts of the brain are connected and to identify the changes that occur in neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Functional MRI produces maps of the brain based on oxygenated blood flow related to neural activity.

Recruiting luminescent nanoparticles to image brain function, scientists at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are on pace to develop the next generation of functional materials that could enable the mapping of the complex neural connections in the brain.

That collaboration ultimately produced the most detailed map ever made of functional brain connectivity in a single person.

In combination, the two mapping efforts would provide both the anatomical and the functional dimensions of the brain.

The human brain connectome has not yet been fully mapped at the cellular or the macro (high - level structural and functional) scale, though efforts to do the latter are much further along than the former — which has only just even become possible (more on that later).

While my initial interest lay in the chemico - physical properties of MR imaging probes, I became increasingly involved in their application to functional MRI (fMRI), a method to map hemodynamic responses in the brain as a surrogate for changes in the underlying neuronal activity.
