Why is my code returning the error "Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds" when calling adjacent()?

I have the following snippet of code that yields the error "Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds" when calling the function adjacent():
function out = polycubes()
% Yields array of polycubes of orders 1-10 which fit within a 3x3x3 cube
% Input: none
% Output: array of all polycubes of orders 1-10 which fit within a 3x3x3
% cube
pCubes = zeros(403006,3,3,3);
% Initializes start cube
pCubes(1,:,:,1) = zeros(3,3);
pCubes(1,:,:,2) = [0 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 0];
pCubes(1,:,:,3) = zeros(3,3);
% Starts master counter
pCubeIndex = 1;
while true
% Checks if polycube contains 10 cubes. If not, moves to next polycube
% to be built upon
if sum(pCubes(pCubeIndex,:,:,:),"all") == 10
pCubeIndex = pCubeIndex + 1;
if mod(pCubeIndex,1000) == 0
disp("Cube ", pCubeIndex, ": ", pCubes(pCubeIndex));
end
% Breaks if no polycubes less than order 10 remain to be built upon
elseif sum(pCubes(pCubeIndex,:,:,:),"all") == 0
if mod(pCubeIndex,1000) == 0
disp("Cube ", pCubeIndex, ": ", pCubes(pCubeIndex));
end
break
else
% Creates list of cells adjacent to existing cubes in a polycube
adjCells = zeros(26,3);
counter = 0;
for a = 1:3
for b = 1:3
for c = 1:3
if a ~= 2 | b ~= 2 | c ~= 2
if pCubes(pCubeIndex,a,b,c) == 0
if adjacent(pCubes(1,:,:,:),a,b,c) % error here
adjCells(counter,:) = [a b c];
counter = counter + 1;
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
Here is the entire code for adjacent():
function out = adjacent(cube,x,y,z)
output = false;
if x + 1 <= 3
if cube(x+1,y,z) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
if x - 1 >= 1
if cube(x-1,y,z) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
if y + 1 <= 3
if cube(x,y+1,z) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
if y - 1 >= 1
if cube(x,y-1,z) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
if z + 1 <= 3
if cube(x,y,z+1) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
if z - 1 >= 1
if cube(x,y,z-1) ~= 0
output = true;
end
end
out = output;

if adjacent(pCubes(1,:,:,:),a,b,c) % error here
You are passing in a 1 x something x something by something array
if cube(x+1,y,z) ~= 0
You are addressing it as a something by something by something array, forgetting that the leading dimension of it is 1

I see the error. pCubes is a 403006 x 3 x 3 x 3 array; I'd like to take off the first "slice," the 3x3x3 cube of (1,:,:,:). Is there quick way to convert an element of a 4D array into a 3D array?
You should also consider moving the 403006 to the last dimension; it will be more efficient.
