    The way I understand it:

    Connectome: Displays the synapses between individual neurons

    Projectome: The links between regions of the brain via neurons that synapse across regions (basically a subset of the connectome)

    So if the connectome is a map of every road, highway, dirt path in the USA, the projectome is a map of the interstates between major cities.

    Please someone tell me if this is way off base.
