It’s shape, not just wiring: How brain structure influences function

Researchers have found that the brain's shape may have a stronger influence on functioning than the connections between brain cells

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied a mathematical model to brain activity and found that brain function may have more to do with shape than connectivity.
