Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This feels just as likely to be the ramblings of a crazy person as an actual map of the human brain.
It's real, but cobbled together from multiple sources. For instance we haven't referred to the "reticular activating system" since maybe the 1980s? They call it the "reticular arousal system" which is either a neologism or maybe a reactivation of the term in the literature. I haven't been active in the area in over a decade.
I'll note that this broadly accurate on a macro level, but the details really matter. There are different cortical layers for instance and cell types and the nature of the signal processing differs by layer. So saying "X connects to Y" is useful in some sense, but provides much less information than you might imagine.
If you look at the source (link on the right edge) it's a page with religious ramblings on how this disproves evolution because our nervous system is set up like a computer or microchip. Bibles quotes and all.
The chart is a great testament to how complicated our biology is and not much else.
Sure your brain doesn't have a Honeywell Military Internal Navigation System in it?
