Abstract
Cognitive connectomics is a field of study that focuses on mapping and annotating the neural connections underlying cognitive processes. Recent progress in neuroimaging techniques has enabled researchers to investigate the neural basis of cognitive functions with greater precision. Sociomics, on the other hand, is the study of social cognition, including social perception, interaction, and decision-making. Integrating cognitive connectomics and sociomics approaches can lead to a better comprehension of the neural network of sociocognitive phenotypes. However, unifying both approaches can be challenging due to differences in theoretical frameworks and methodologies. Future trends in cognitive connectomics and sociomics research include exploring machinery for higher-order functionalities in the brain and investigating the causal relationships between brain regions. Understanding the synergies and squabbles between two notions is important for advancing translational research on clinical and subclinical pathologies of social cognition.

Counter-Hacking the Subconscious Mind: Antidote for Faulty Human Perceptions From the Media Sphere
The ability of the brain to change itself through chemistry and its architecture in response to experience and learning (Bennet et al., 2018; Buonomano & Merzenich, 1998). Neurons can change their structure and relationships according to environmental demands or personal decisions and action. Plasticity is increased through growth hormones and production of neurotransmitters, which facilitate neural connection and cortical organization (Cozolino & Sprokay, 2006; Cowan & Kandel, 2001; Zhu & Waite, 1998). Brain plasticity opens the door to continuous learning and adaptation to the external environment and internal needs.
