The paragraph compares the brain to the universe in three key ways: 1. They are both composed of intricate networks - the brain of neurons and neurotransmitters, and the universe of galaxies, planets, and galactic networks. 2. They are both held together by connecting forces - the brain by synapses between neurons, and the universe by dark matter. 3. They both contribute to our understanding and existence, and remain complex structures that are still being uncovered in their secrets.

2. Original paragraph
The brain is like the universe. It is composed on an intricate weave of neurons,
neurotransmitters, and a neural network similar to the vast universe which
composed of the galaxies, planets and a galactic network. Its similarities are
profound for the physical appearances of both are shocking and astounding
at the same time. The brain, like the universe, is connected or held together
by the synapses in a neuron as a dark matter keeps the universe intact.
Without these things, each would break down and would cease to exist. Now
in terms of the use and contribution, as the brain contributes to the
understanding of the things we can comprehend so does the universe
contribute to everything that is here; had been and will be; in short,
everything. The brain is like a dark corner waiting to be fully discovered while
the universe is like a whole undiscovered planet waiting to be fully unveiled.
So similarly, both are complex in nature that we humans are still starting to
uncover its dark and hidden secrets.
