Etymology
A helpful way to remember wiring for the brain is to think of wire as a thin metal 'thread' that carries signals, so the brain's 'wiring' is the network of connections between brain cells that pass messages. That's why people use wiring to talk about how the brain is connected and how it controls behavior.
