I'm a PhD candidate in neuroscience, I'll take a stab at that.
You highlighted a critically important question in the field. We do all have the same brain structures, and neurons within those structures have similar shape and function, but the exact wiring of the circuits will not be the same for two individuals. Understanding how the structure of circuits leads to behavior, memory, cognition, etc. are the high level goals that the whole field is striving for.
This project seeks to answer quite a bit more than just mapping areas in the brain. I think the name is more of a way to connote that the project seeks to be comprehensive.
