Changing Connectomes: Evolution, Development, and Dynamics in Network Neuroscience

Changing Connectomes provides an up-to-date overview of the field of connectomics and introduces concepts and mechanisms underlying brain network changes during evolution and development. Drawing on a range of results from experimental, clinical, and computational studies, the book describes changes during healthy brain maturation and during brain network disorders (including such neurodevelopmental conditions as schizophrenia and depression), brain injury, and neurodegenerative disorders including dementia. The author argues that brain stimulation is an area where understanding connectome development could help in assessing long-term effects of interventions. 

This book is a suitable starting point for researchers who are new to the field of connectomics, and also for researchers who are interested in the link between brain network organization and brain and cognitive development in health and disease.
