Analogies for Sustainable Development/Brain as Computer, Brain as Internet

"The network framework provides a natural way to describe neural organization [24]. Indeed, cognition emerges from the activity of neural networks that carry information from one cell assembly or brain region to another (see Box II). The advent of Network Science suggests modifying the traditional “computer metaphor” for the brain [25] to an “Internet metaphor”, where the neocortex takes on the task of “packet switching’"
