<b>An up-to-date overview of the field of connectomics, introducing concepts and mechanisms underlying brain network change at different stages.</b><p>The human brain undergoes massive changes during its development, from early childhood and the teenage years to adulthood and old age. Across a wide range of species, from <i>C. elegans</i> and fruit flies to mice, monkeys, and humans, information about brain connectivity (connectomes) at different stages is now becoming available. New approaches in network neuroscience can be used to analyze the topological, spatial, and dynamical organization of such connectomes. In <i>Changing Connectomes</i>, Marcus Kaiser provides an up-to-date overview of the field of connectomics and introduces concepts and mechanisms underlying brain network changes during evolution and development. </p><p>Drawing on a range of results from experimental, clinical, and computational studies, Kaiser describes changes during healthy brain maturation and during
