Pretty interesting!
I tend to believe that a lot of what we call as brain fog has to do with inability of parts of our brain to effectively communicate with each other.
Even to do a 2+2 would need so many neurons working together. If that communication is somewhat depleted, even this trivial task becomes a mammoth one.
God, I really miss the satisfaction of clear thinking I had 17 years ago!!!

Here's another in that vein.

Cool picture too.

Fascinating!
Gives a good macro picture of brain network but is there any paper that also explains how brain really computes, integrates individual computation results.
If that is known, scaling up the function would not be as tough (of course, for the scientists)
The most fascinating thing about the brain is that its ability to learn things. We would have seen lot of complex electronic circuitry but how many of them have capability to learn. No wonder the AI dept at MIT was shutdown after a decade of unsuccessful research.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it
