I think until we fully understand the connectome, it is really pointless to speculate "if we are more or less"; because we would be speculating against an unproven hypothesis.
Also, I thought the "lab culture" way they showed of mapping the connectome is the wrong approach. Better to map with some kind of high precision "signal tracer" that can measure the connectome based on transmission pathways.
I don't think the "slice and map" method, like used in tissue analysis, is very useful.
