Connectome cost conservation model of skill learning
Inter-subject variability in learning and hence plasticity is fundamental in behavioral research. Neuroplasticity is studied either by exploring biological aspects of the synapse or regional brain activity. Lacking from these is a network, holistic and integrated view of the brain as an inter-connected organ. The connectome, the wiring diagram of the brain, is one of the greatest promises of neuroscience. The only methodology that allows the exploration of the human brain connectome in-vivo, is MRI via diffusion or resting state fMRI. This project will explore and model the connectomes of subjects before and after skill learning compared to skilled-controls. I hypothesize that the brain…
