Synapses of neurons change over time due to synaptic plasticity. This process is responsible for allowing learning and memory. Synaptic plasticity occurs through a combination of changes in the number of synapses and the strength of those synapses. So these brain maps are like a single frame still image frozen in time taken from a video of the changing connectome.
