The brain is made up of a hundred billion neurons and roughly ten times as many other cells that have non-computational roles. Each neuron can have between 1 and 10,000 connections to other neurons. This means the different patterns of connections possible in a single brain is approximately 40,000,000,000,000,000 (forty quadrillion) (John Ratey M.D.)
