   @ai @MercurialBuilding @hidden as I understand something like that is true within normal variation range as in, brains vary in density more than they actually vary in connectivity
   
   but the guy you linked to, seems to me like connectivity between different brain regions was basically missing even if the neocortex was locally probably mostly intact

     @nemesis @MercurialBuilding @hidden Hmm... my naive takeaway was quite different - I came away with the impression that axons are a lot stronger and more stretchy than you'd think. Most of the brain already is fluid anyways, I don't think the total volume of neurons changed. But I also don't remember enough to say whether he had cognitive impairment...
