The highways and byways of the brain

Abstract

Brain functions rely on the communication network formed by axonal fibers. However, the number of axons connecting different brain regions is unknown. A study in PLoS Biology addresses this question and finds that most areas of the human cerebral cortex are linked by an astoundingly small number of fibers.
