DESCRIPTION:Despite the intense current interest in the connectome\, a fun
 damental question is seldom asked:  Are the corpus callosum and the intrah
 emispheric white-matter tracts part of a neural net\, where information is
  embodied in the structure of the net\, or do they constitute a communicat
 ions network\, where the same physical substrate carries different informa
 tion from moment to moment?  We argue for the latter.  A constraint that h
 as become clear in last year (from the work of Rosen and Halgren) is that 
 only 4% of cortical pyramidal cells have access to long-range tracts.  Thi
 s estimate is concordant with the classical histology of Schüz and Braite
 nberg. \n\nThis research is in collaboration with Marina Danilova and Chie
  Takahashi.
