english: And so the connectome is like bed of the stream; but the metaphor is richer than that, because it's true that the stream bed guides the flow of the water, but over long timescales, the water also reshapes the bed of the stream.
non_english: Dus is het connectoom zoals de rivierbedding. Maar er zit meer in de metafoor, want het is waar dat de rivierbedding de stroming van het water gidst; maar over langere periodes herkneedt het water ook de rivierbedding.
