What makes one human brain different from another human brain?

I know there’s much we don’t know, but I suspect that means we’ve found more differences than similarities? How does / how much can one brain vary from the next?

My understanding is that brains are still under construction until youre about 2 years old, and they are full of excess connections and then it starts pruning to just keep the ones that work. So a lot of how your brain works is dependent on those early experiences which are unique to you.

If we keep with the pruning analogy it’s like each persons brain is an unruly bush when they’re a toddler, and it gets pruned into shape by your experiences. Some people may end up with a beautiful one and some may end up with a scraggly one
