Having first watched the two NSF videos to provide a background, please use this discussion board to respond to the videoby Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome.

1-What is a connectome and how does it affect neural activity?

2-Do you think that your individual personality and intellect are the result of your connectome? Explain your answer.

Seung used the metaphor that the connectome is the bed of the stream of consciousness and neural activity is its water, so that while the river bed guides the water, the water flow can change the shape of the bed. What does it mean if the act of thinking can change the connectome?
