Connectomic Reference Address Space

# Connectomic Reference Address Space **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Type:** Neuroinformatics concept **Primary source:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] ## Definition A **connectomic reference address space** is a versioned coordinate and identity framework for locating cells, classes, circuit motifs, and pathways within a maintained connectome. ## Relationships - [[wiki/FlyWire|FlyWire]] and [[wiki/MICrONS|MICrONS]] operate as reference infrastructure rather than only static maps. - [[wiki/Cell Type|Cell-type]] annotation narrows possible target identities. - [[wiki/Connectome Reconstruction Infrastructure|Reconstruction infrastructure]] preserves segmentation, annotation, and version history. - A shared address does not prove equivalent function across subjects, species, or time.
