In 1979, famed molecular biologist, Francis Crick, stated that it would be “[impossible] to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific American.
