Transcript: Susan McConnell Ph.D. (Stanford University): "Billions of brain cells are not dumb forging links with billions of other brain cells. Eventually there will be trillions and trillions of connections between cells charged with electrical pulses rippling like lightning storms across the hills and the valleys of the brain’s tissue. Every cell in its place, every link between cells carefully organized, nothing random, nothing arbitrary. What we would really love to understand is how the brain during development generates millions and millions neurons, sends them to the right position in the brain, and then somehow instructs each of those individual nerve cells to form very, very specific connections with one another.
