“This is complicated stuff, and it is a testament to Dr.
Seung’s remarkable clarity of exposition that the reader is
swept along with his enthusiasm, as he moves from the basics
of neuroscience out to the farthest regions of the
hypothetical, sketching out a spectacularly illustrated giant
map of the universe of man.”—Abigail Zuger, M.D., New
York Times
Every person is unique, but science has struggled to pinpoint
where, precisely, that uniqueness resides. Our genome may
determine our eye color and even aspects of our character.
But our friendships, failures, and passions also shape who we
are. The question is: how?
Sebastian Seung is at the forefront of a revolution in
neuroscience. He believes that our identity lies not in our
genes, but in the connections between our brain cells—our
particular wiring. Seung and a dedicated group of researchers
are leading the effort to map these connections, neuron by
neuron, synapse by synapse. It’s a monumental effort, but
if they succeed, they will uncover the basis of personality,
identity, intelligence, memory, and perhaps disorders such as
autism and schizophrenia.
Connectome is a mind-bending adventure story that
presents a daring scientific and technological vision for
understanding what makes us who we are, both as individuals
and as a species.
“Accessible, witty, imminently logical and at times poetic, Connectome establishes Seung as an important new researcher, philosopher and popularizer of brain science. It puts him on par with cosmology’s Brian Greene and the late Carl Sagan.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer

“The best lay book on brain science I’ve ever
read.”
— Wall Street Journal by
Daniel Levitin, Professor, McGill
University; author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The
World in Six Songs.

Seung’s remarkable clarity of exposition that the reader is
swept along with his enthusiasm, as he moves from the basics
of neuroscience out to the farthest regions of the
hypothetical, sketching out a spectacularly illustrated giant
map of the universe of man.”
— *New York Times*
“[A] bracing, mind-expanding report from neuroscience’s
razor edge. Accessible, witty, [e]minently logical and at
times poetic, Connectome establishes Seung as an important
new researcher, philosopher and popularizer of brain science.
It puts him on par with cosmology’s Brian Greene and the
late Carl Sagan.”
— *Cleveland Plain Dealer*
“Seung argues intelligently and powerfully that the self
lies in the totality of the brain’s wiring.”
— Nature by Christof
Koch, Professor, California Institute of Technology;
Chief Scientific Officer, Allen Institute for Brain Science;
author of Quest for Consciousness and Consciousness:
Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist
“With the first-person flavour of James Watson’s Double
Helix—an account of how DNA’s structure was
discovered—Connectome gives a sense of the excitement on
the cutting edge of neuroscience.”
— NewScientist by Terry
Sejnowski, Professor and Director, Computational
Neurobiology Lab, Salk Institute; Investigator, Howard Hughes
Medical Institute; Member, National Academy of Sciences and
National Academy of Engineering USA.
“An elegant primer on what’s known about how the brain is
organized and how it grows, wires its neurons, perceives its
environment, modifies or repairs itself, and stores
information. Seung is a clear, lively writer who chooses
vivid examples.”
— *Washington Post*
“Sebastian Seung scales the heights of neuroscience and
casts his brilliant eye around, describing the landscape of
its past and boldly envisioning a future when we may
understand our own brains and thus ourselves.”
—Kenneth Blum, Executive Director, Center for Brain
Science, Harvard University
“Sebastian Seung can do it all. He’s widely recognized as
a superb physicist, a whiz with computers, and a
path-breaking neuroscientist. Connectome shows that he's also
a terrific writer, as inspiring as he is clear and good
humored.”В
—Steven Strogatz, Cornell University, author of
*Sync: the Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order*
“In Connectome, Sebastian Seung reminds us that the human
brain has contemplated itself for centuries. This is an
important book, full of refreshingly new science and engaging
history, about the essential quest to understand
ourselves.”
—Phillip A. Sharp, MIT, 1993 Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine
“A landmark work, gorgeously written. No other researcher
has traveled as deeply into the brain forest and emerged to
share its secrets.”
—David Eagleman, author of Incognito and
*Sum*
“Connectomics is emerging as a crucial and exhilarating
field of study. Sebastian Seung takes you by the hand and
shows you why. Connectome is a page turner—a book that
should be read by anyone who lays claim to be thinking about
the nature of life.”
—Michael Gazzaniga, University of California at
Santa Barbara and author of *Human and The Ethical
Brain *
