In the inforgraphic it says that a 3 year old has 15,000 synapses, which is obviously incorrect. The actual statistic is 15,000 synapses per neuron.

By age two, there are over 100 trillion synapses. At its peak, the cerebral cortex creates two million new synapses every second. Can you imagine if we only had 15,000 total synapses? Haha
