What We Found Was That Rather Than Being Haphazardly Arranged Or Independent Pathways, We Find That All Of The Pathways Of The Brain Taken Together Fit Together In A Single Exceedingly Simple Structure. They Basically Look Like A Cube. They Basically Run In Three Perpendicular Directions, And In Each One Of Those Three Directions The Pathways Are Highly Parallel To Each Other And Arranged In Arrays. So, Instead Of Independent Spaghettis, We See That The Connectivity Of The Brain Is, In A Sense, A Single Coherent Structure.
