Thread 1:
The Connectome is the totality of connections in the nervous system. It is not one connection, or even many, it is all of them.
(pg. xiii)
Thread 2:
You are the activity of your neurons. You are your Connectome.
(pg. xviii )
Thread 3:
The size of brain regions are almost useless in predicting the abilities of an individual.
(pg. 36)
Thread 4:
The brain works like a complex factory. Each neuron performs a tiny task, and they cooperate to carry out mental functions. Performance depends upon how neurons are organized.(pg. 34)
Thread 5:
We are embarrassed by secretions, but the mind depends upon an untold number of micro- scopic emissions. The brain secretes thoughts!
(pg. 45)
Thread 6:
Muscles are the final destination of all neural pathways.
(pg. 52)
Thread 7:
Axons diverge; dendrites converge.
(pg. 54)
Thread 8:
The function of a neuron is defined chiefly by its connections with other neurons.
(pg. 68)
Thread 9:
Perception is the association of an idea with a stimulus, while thought is the association of an idea with another idea.
(pg. 69)
Thread 10:
To advance, brain science must devise interventions that promote the 4 Rs: reweighting, reconnection, rewiring and regeneration.
(pg. 274)
