If we stick with the idea that all 86b neurons need to be factored into any casual inference, I'm with you.
But I think there are many forms of casual inference that do not require this. As a thought experiment, pretend that it's okay to use aggregate signals from ~100 brain regions. 1/2

The brain is highly recurrent, however, throwing a new spanner in the works.
My current thinking: with resting state it's probably futile. With perturbations it is probably doable. 2/2
