These maps incorporate individual neural connections in the brain and are often presented as wiring diagrams. At higher resolutions brain maps are called connectomes. In the center of the circles, lines representing white matter fibers illustrate the connections between cortical regions, weighted by fractional anisotropy and strength of connection. Concentric circles within the ring represent various common neurological measurements, such as cortical thickness or curvature. One such map, called a connectogram, depicts cortical regions around a circle, organized by lobes.
Brain mapping can be conceived as a higher form of neuroimaging, producing brain images supplemented by the result of additional (imaging or non-imaging) data processing or analysis, such as maps projecting (measures of) behavior onto brain regions (see fMRI). All neuroimaging is considered part of brain mapping.
