NSF’s commitment to basic science — accruing knowledge for its own sake — is one of the most laudable missions of any organization. Always such an inspiration.

Interesting. Any ideas why this would have evolved? Or is it just because of its location?

Totally agree. And then to do it again!!

Love those theta rhythms. Always have! From the very (!) early studies suggesting they predict potential for learning.

Intriguing data!

It’s difficult for people to imagine this change affecting them. Until they or a loved one becomes ill. One of my best friend’s daughter was just cured of a cancer she thought would kill her only 6 months ago! Scientists are in it for the long haul.

So interesting. Not easy to study for obvious reasons. But correlation beats nothing!

Sounds reasonable. Looking forward to your updates!

Good points here. I’ve seen it happen over the decades. No time to think. Too many forms to fill out!

Yes. I was thinking the same thing. Must be upper limit on volume. How could you address? Out of curiosity…

Interesting. I would not have imagined the cerebellum to be so large.

Good point. As long as they can be taken care of.

True this. And it’s okay. It’s how we learn what’s real versus just an aberration.
