The Root System
Public
This Twine is connected to my blog therootsystem.net, my home to think about the ways we root newborns in society, and how that process is mirrored in the structure and development of their brain.
This twine will spin out from therootsystem, and trace the route I take along the way. Somewhat like the way the right dendritic connection finds the right neuron in the brain, crawling along glia, and through the brain The path itself is a record of the experiences and the genes.
