86. “Every healthy human being has about the same number of
neurons in the skull - about 100 billion. Each one of them
has up to 50,000 connecting dendrites, each of which can
be in contact with other connecting dendrites up to the
same number, which means that inside the brain a thought
can go any one of a number of routes which are larger than
the number of atoms in the known universe! And everyone
has one.”
