First off, thanks for posting this
Second, the problem with an article like this is that it says nothing about what the actual experiments were and the actual findings were. This is narrative story speculation of potential implications or understandings of the results of these experiments, not a description of the experiment itself and the actual experimental results — except for one sentence almost buried in the article.
For example, “ones” are big cool buzzwords now, but not necessarily meaningful in the manners they are often used. This article should describe how they are defining the “connectome” and the scientific methods they used to assess the connections etc...
As written, so many of these press release articles from university PR departments are modern just so stories and the interesting hard science is hardly touched upon.
Hm?.....I bet you are a man and the writer of the article is a woman. :-)
