解释: 本句在固定搭配 too little information even to specify 之后,是一个大型倒装,正常的语序应该是:

Human genes contain too little information even to specify tha t each of a human's 1011 neurons should occupy which hemisphere of the brainlet alone the hundreds of connections (that each neuron makes).

固定搭配too...to...是太怎么样以致不能如何的意思,其后的specify后面的内容实际上是一个宾语从句。文章的作者把从句中的宾语提到主语和谓语之前,并省略引导词that,使得句子非常难以读懂。最后的let alone的意思是表示递进的“更不要说,何况”。
