santiago ramon y cajal physical dimensions of the neuronal circuits of a mammal a cephalopod and an insect


Holy Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Batman!

So the brain isn’t a “bowl of spaghetti”?

The awesome handiwork of The Spanish Leonardo Da Vinci aside,

The team of MRI-packing researchers from Harvard, MIT, BU, etc. led by Van Wedeen has come up with a new connection-map, or connectome of the brain,

-By tracing the motion of water molecules.

 
And contrary to the loosely-organized chaos it had always seemed to be, the new connection map looks basically like a series of well-organized, right-angle-intersecting technicolor mohawks,

 
Several Midtown-NYC traffic maps stacked on top of each other,

 
-Or a boy-band hairdo from the 90s;

 
Take your pick.
