English term or phrase: connectomics

Definition from Olaf Sporns, Indiana University:
The field of science dealing with the assembly, mapping and analysis of data on neural connections.

Example sentence(s):

The idea that connections among neural elements are crucial for brain function has been central to modern neuroscience almost since its inception. Building on this idea, the emerging field of connectomics adds several new and important components. Network Neuroscience
In connectomics, a distinction is commonly drawn between three spatial scales: microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic (Bohland et al., 2009). Fundamentals of Brain Network Analysis
The usefulness of connectomics is somewhat debated. Among popular arguments against it is that connectomics typically provides a static image. It can show which neurons have the possibility of interacting, but it does not show if they do, how much they do, and what the effect of that interaction is. News Medical

connectomics

Definition from own experience or research:
The term, “ connectomics” is a neuroscience-derived term that does not have a bonafide Tagalog equivalent. Like with such terms in science as “photosynthesis” and “spermatogenesis“, speakers of Tagalog expect to read terms like "connectomics" in the original English, and therefore should not be over-translated into Tagalog.

Example sentence(s):

English: "Connectomics is the production and study of connectomes: comprehensive maps of connections within an organism's nervous system, typically its brain or eye. " Tagalog: "Ang connectomics ay ang paggawa at pag-aaral ng mga connectome: mga malawakang mapa ng mga koneksyon na nakapaloob sa nervous system ng isang organismo, karaniwan ay sa utak o mata nito." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectomi
