This isn't really an answer, but I read somewhere that there are more possible neural signal pathways in the human brain than there have been subatomic events in the universe ever. Think about combinatorial maths and this starts to make sense. Also bear in mind that almost all of those possible paths would probably not be any part of coherent thought, just as there are infinite numbers of possible complete chess games, but an infinite number of them are ones that contain nonsensical loops.
