Learning about how neuronal networks

Throughout this course we have been learning a lot about the structure of the brain. It hasn't been the major focus of the class- to learn the anatomy of the brain. However, I suspect that you have learned, or recalled many of the major structures from your anatomy classes. In Chapter 7 I was particularly impressed by a couple of things. First, the discussion about the physical structure of the neuronal network (actually from Chapter 6, p. 95) and second, the picture of the development of synapses (p. 116). What have you learned this semester about the brain that has surprised you?
