consider the uncharted territory of the brain...

 

Uncharted territory: Ivan Soltesz, UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor and chair of anatomy & neurobiology, has helped shed light on the inner workings of the human brain… "The brain is the last great frontier," says Soltesz, UC Irvine Chancellor's Professor and chair of anatomy & neurobiology. "It's the most complex organism in the universe — endlessly challenging and interesting to study." In his 2005 book, Diversity in the Neuronal Machine, he describes the brain's neural landscape as a vast fecund forest, with neurons linking to "distal branches that form a wide canopy, just like the giant trees in the rain forests of Costa Rica."
