11 Jul Connectomics

A form of neural imaging and histological techniques used to increase the resolution of neural connection maps. High-throughput connectomics applications using diffusion MRI or Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy improve the speed and efficiency of mapping connections between neurons, normally in the human brain. Alternate applications may theoretically be used in animal brains or neuromuscular junctions. The map output a Connectomics system is called a connectome.
