新世纪的崭新大科学——连接组学

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 后基因组时代萌生了一系列的组学(omics)，而前途最看好的则非连接组学莫属了。20世纪30年代以来，弗洛伊德的本我—自我—超我理论备受青睐。随着神经科学的发展，以研究由人类语言为载体的高级意识的物理基础为重要内容的神经达尔文主义成为进一步探索的工作框架。21世纪新启动的创新神经(科学)技术计划，必将为连接组学的发展提供有力的保障，也为灵魂—肉体关系的自然基础发起新的进军，但鉴于连接组的非线性和瞬息万变的连接转换，还要走一段很长的路。

关键词: 脑, 连接组, 达尔文主义, 精神, 语言

Abstract: A lot of ’omes have appeared since post-genome era, in which connectome is, of course, the most attractive. The id-egosuperego theory of Freud was welcomed after 1930s. The advances in neuroscience particularly neural Darwinism including the impact of human language are a framework for further study on brain. Connectomics for assembling and analyzing connectome data sets should be a new big science in this century.
