<jats:title>General principles of neuronal communication</jats:title> <jats:p>The explosion of modern technologies over the past years has produced vast amounts of knowledge about the molecular, anatomical, and physiological properties of individual neurons. However, individual neurons do not function in isolation; they interact with each other in circuits to process information. Luo attempted to synthesize different types of investigations to extract generalized principles underlying how neurons communicate with each other through specific patterns of synaptic connectivity. Although different elements of the projection motifs and architectural plans have been discussed separately in the past, these motifs and architectures can now be brought together in the same intellectual framework. —PRS</jats:p>

<jats:p>As the Taliban rapidly crushed US-backed Afghan forces, many politicians, pundits, and military leaders expressed surprise at having overestimated an ally’s will to fight and underestimated the enemy’s. Similarly in 2014, after the Islamic State (ISIS) routed US-backed Iraqi forces, President Obama endorsed the intelligence assessment that “predicting the will to fight…is an imponderable.” That attitude reflects political and military leaders’ continual discounting of research, supported and known by many of those leaders, on the importance of sacred values and spiritual strength to the will to fight. It may remain “imponderable”—and attendant security challenges seemingly intractable—so long as it continues to be viewed through a narrow lens of instrumental, utilitarian rationality.</jats:p>
