Connectomics ke eng?
Connectomics ke tlhahiso le thuto ea li-connectome: limmapa tse akaretsang tsa likhokahano ka har'a tsamaiso ea methapo ea'mele. Ka kakaretso, e ka nahanoa e le thuto ea li-wiring diagram tsa methapo ea kutlo e shebaneng le hore na khokahano ea sebopeho, li-synapses ka bomong, morphology ea lisele le sebopeho sa lisele tsa lisele li kenya letsoho joang ho theheng marang-rang. Tsamaiso ea methapo ke marang-rang a entsoeng ka likhokahano tse libilione'me likhokahano tsena li ikarabella bakeng sa menahano ea rōna, maikutlo, liketso, mehopolo, tšebetso le ho se sebetse hantle. Ka hona, thuto ea connectomics e reretsoe ho ntlafatsa kutloisiso ea rōna ea bophelo bo botle ba kelello le tsebo ka ho utloisisa kamoo lisele tsa tsamaiso ea methapo li hokahaneng le ho buisana kateng. Hobane mehaho ena e rarahane haholo, mekhoa ea tšimo ena e sebelisa ts'ebeliso e phahameng ea litšoantšo tsa methapo e sebetsang le ea sebopeho, hangata litšoantšo tsa matla a khoheli (MRI), microscopy ea elektronike, le mekhoa ea histological e le ho eketsa lebelo, katleho, le qeto ea limmapa tsena tsa tsamaiso ea methapo. Ho fihlela joale, ho 'nile ha bokelloa boitsebiso bo bongata bo akarelletsang tsamaiso ea methapo e akarelletsang likarolo tse sa tšoaneng tsa cortex, cerebellum, retina, tsamaiso ea methapo e ka thōko le methapo ea methapo ea methapo.  Ka kakaretso, ho na le mefuta e'meli ea li-connectome; ea boholo bo boholo le e nyenyane. Macroscale connectomics e bua ka ho sebelisa boitsebiso ba MRI bo sebetsang le bo hlophisitsoeng ho etsa'mapa oa litsela tse kholo tsa fiber le libaka tse sebetsang tsa taba e bohlooho ka har'a boko ho latela phallo ea mali (e sebetsang) le ho hasana ha metsi (ho haha). Microscale connectomics ke ho etsa'mapa oa li-connectome tse feletseng tsa lintho tse phelang tse nyenyane ho sebelisoa microscopy le histology. Ke hore, likhokahano tsohle tse teng tsamaisong ea bona ea methapo e bohareng.
