A Grand Unified Model of Our Human Brain

Our brain is one of the most complicated complex systems in the universe. It is composed of more than one hundred billions neurons connected through about one hundred trillions synapses. Because of its complexity, our brain remains as one of the most difficult challenges to be solved. Here, we introduce both the recent work of an international consortium organized for the systematic analysis of the structural organization of the brain connectome by utilizing the graphical methods of complex network study and the grand challenge of the human brain project to construct a grand unified model of our brain. Finally, as physicists, we discuss what can be done to accelerate the successful completing of a grand unified model of our brain.
