the definition posted on the presentation about the definition of the connectome is misleading, as a connectome is both the structural and functional parts. "We suggest that the correlated use of noninvasive structural and functional imaging methods offers the most promising experimental route toward the human connectome." and this comes from the same paper you quoted. Even where the quote you wrote was taken from, the sentence above it talks about the functional component.
Dr. Reid, as you are likely aware others in the field are looking at a long term goal of computer simulation... its a hypothetical but as a layman here's my uninformed question... so the brain does more than think... it runs everything mostly...or at least acts as a governor. So assuming you could create a full connectome, up and working of the human brain....wouldn't it be the case that without feedback from an endocrine or respiratory or circulatory system that was previously registered the system (connectome, brain) would go into shock? or would it just think it getting feedback?
you're also missing the gut-brain part of the digestive system too. A connectome is a structural description - so it doesn't need all that. If you're running a simulation, you'll be inputting those parts in. The issue is that the brain is not an island - there're other components that shape it as you said. There'll always be something missing in a digitized connectome

Thank you for mentioning this. We've made the appropriate correction.
Yes, we will post #7 as soon as possible. We apologize that the lectures were presented out of order.
how did the definition of the connectome change from being about the structure to being about the function?
