Building a Circuit-Diagram for the Brain (Jennifer Raymond, Stanford University)

Jennifer Raymond (Stanford University) is building a "wiring diagram" for the brain. By bridging the gap between individual synapses and whole-brain learning & memory, Raymond's research offers new insights and strategies for medical rehabilitation and K-12 education.

2:25 bridge the gap impossible for humans

she's really have the knowledge.

[thebigfootme]

thank you for the very useful information!

This is educational.

@berniemac18 No, the whole tongue is capable of tasting all flavours, just as the whole brain is capable of all functions. In other words wherever you place a pinch of salt on your tongue, it will taste salty, wherever you place lemon juice on your tongue, it will taste sour etc. Don't take my word for it, do a little research, it's not a secret. There is a lady in U.K. who has virtually no brain at all, just a ring inside her skull, no centre. She is perfectly normal and holds 2 A - levels.

@kaferere : so the whole tongue tastes satly?

[kaferere]

@berniemac18 If you do a little bit of research it won't take you but 5 mns to find out that the "compartmentalization" of tastes on the tongue is, and always was an urban myth. You can find so much information now proving conclusively that the previously held perception of the brain is falling apart because of the sheer weight of evidence. Remember not so long ago phrenology was an accepted part of science.
