Summary
The human brain undergoes massive changes during its development, from early childhood and the teenage years to adulthood and old age. Across a wide range of species, from C. elegans and fruit flies to mice, monkeys, and humans, information about brain connectivity (connectomes) at different stages is now becoming available. New approaches in network neuroscience can be used to analyze the topological, spatial, and dynamical organization of such connectomes.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A central focus of contemporary connectomics is on patterns of change — capturing how connectomes grow, mature, degenerate, evolve, adapt and reconfigure. This important book provides a comprehensive account of how these changes unfold, and how they relate to brain dynamics, cognition and behavior.”
– Olaf Sporns, Distinguished Professor, Indiana University; author of Networks of the Brain and Discovering the Human Connectome
“From the wiring diagram of the worm nervous system through to the gamechanging potential of big data and AI, the author clearly lays out basic principles and thoughtfully guides the reader through cuttingedge discoveries and future applications of the exploding science of brain connectomics.”
– Heidi JohansenBerg, University of Oxford; author of Diffusion MRI
