Description: Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our "connectome," and it's as individual as our genome -- and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.

Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome

I am my connectome

Exploring the brain's intricate network, neurons connected by synapses propose a model for storing memories and personality.

Advances in neural imaging and AI may soon decode human connectomes, potentially revolutionizing understanding of mental health.

By examining connectomes, the hypothesis 'I am my connectome' suggests our unique identities are encoded in neural connections.
