Human Brains Unique from Animal Brains

 I will praise Thee; 

   for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

      marvellous are Thy works;

Psalm 139:14

"Information doesn't make its way around our brains in the same way as it does in the brains of other animals, according to a new study.

Comparing the resulting brain 'traffic maps', the researchers found that the 

---human brain uses multiple parallel pathways to shift information from one region to another, 

---whereas the mice and macaque brains use just single channels.

"The basic principle is that messages passed from a source to a

target remain unchanged or are further degraded at each stop along the road, like the telephone game we played as children."
To use another analogy, the information traffic moving around the brain is like traffic traveling down a road with multiple stops along the way. Our brains seem to be wired to simultaneously use multiple roads to get the convoy of signals to its destination.

What's more, the researchers discovered that these parallel pathways are as unique as fingerprints: studying the particular way that information flows around a brain can distinguish individual nervous systems.
"Such parallel processing in human brains has been hypothesized, but never observed before at a whole-brain level," says Griffa.

---If one channel gets blocked or damaged, then it's possible that information can be rerouted through another channel instead."
