The connectogram, as a graphical representation of brain connectomics, was proposed in 2012. [1]Circular representations of connections have been used in a number of disciplines; examples include representation of aspects of epidemics, [2] geographical networks, [3] musical beats, [4] diversity in bird populations, [5] and genomic data.

[8] [page needed] It may also be crucial to understanding traumatic brain injuries (as in the case of Phineas Gage) [9] and improving brain injury treatment. [10] [11] Following a series of meetings, the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) evolved. [12] [page needed] The ultimate goal is to develop flexible computational brain ...

A classic example is Phineas Gage, who exhibited a change in behavior after one or both frontal lobes were destroyed by a large iron bar accidentally driven through his head (though Gage, despite conventional presentations of his case, did not exhibit the aggression, antisocial behavior, or loss of impulse control sometimes reported in patients ...
