@jgpausas Man, this really looks like Ramon y Cajal's drawings!

Same underlying process at play: space filling biased by search and sculpted by branch retraction.

@albertcardona @tyrell_turing @jgpausas Albert, the analogy is certainly useful, but there is more at work here. The "landscape shaping" built into neural ontogeny doesn't really exist here, and what happens above the ground is also important. It's a different kind of ecology.

@tg9541 @tyrell_turing @jgpausas

Sure the two processes are different. What's remarkable is how much the end product looks alike structure-wise, suggestive of similar underlying processes and constraints.
