It’s been said that the human brain has a quadrillion cellular connections via the nervous system... This picture attempts to put the complexity of our brains into perspective. It represents a quadrillion pennies stacked into a cube spanning several city blocks. 

The sheer magnitude of nerve receptors is mind-blowing!
