[voice over] Researchers are currently working on a map of the human brain. It may be the most complex map ever created. Billions of neurons making trillions of connections. At first glance, they seem completely random. But there's nothing random about them. All these connections have to happen in a specific pattern. It is designed for a function. These connections determine everything about us. What we love, what we hate, what we say, what we do. [speaking] Every action we take.
“Map Of You” · Season 10, Episode 6
In this episode: Derek Shepherd (3), Meredith Grey (1), Cristina Yang (1)
I have a career and a family, and I'm going to do both. What I don't have time for is for you to tell me that I can't.
I never said that.
You know, I was always there for you, for whatever you needed, and now this is when I need you, and you're supposed to help me. And instead, last week you pushed me aside because I had a baby. You don't have time for me now? Because you don't have time for people who want things that you don't want.
[to Meredith] Spending time with the kids is not a consolation prize. It is the prize.
[voice over] We are just starting to learn the extent of the brain's connections. How far they reach, how deep they go. But we know that every connection matters. Every connection is crucial. And when one is broken, it usually means some damage has been done. This system of connections tells us to act and choose and behave. Sometimes seemingly against our own will. But it is not random at all. It is the map of who we are. We will work to understand ourselves, solve the puzzle. How all the connections work and all the pieces fit.
