You can view the Brain Mapping Hub at brainmapping.onairnetworks.cc or by selecting the Quick Link icon in the upper right of the menu bar.

The goal of this overview is to summarize the best current knowledge about Brain Mapping. The overview’s starting point is an abbreviated summary of the most recent Wikipedia entry (as of April 25, 2014) and will be curated by a team of volunteers. If you are interested in curating – and gaining visibility and recognition for your contributions – become a member of this Hub and send your posts to this Hub’s curator.

Interim curator is Todd Gillette.

Brain mapping – set of neuroscience techniques predicated on the mapping of (biological) quantities or properties onto spatial representations of the (human or non-human) brain resulting in maps. Brain mapping is further defined as the study of the anatomy and function of the brain and spinal cord through the use of imaging (including intra-operative, microscopic, endoscopic and multi-modality imaging), immunohistochemistry, molecular & optogenetics, stem cell and cellular biology, engineering (material, electrical and biomedical), neurophysiology and nanotechnology.

Connectomics is the production and study of connectomes: comprehensive maps of connections within an organism’s nervous system, typically its brain or eye. Because these …
