It’s that time of the year when journalists rinse & repeat their articles on DST and for some of us to express outrage. Found this old article on who benefits from the inaction on this. wnycstudios.org/podcasts/tak…

Evolution built organized circuitry and modules, whether we name them or not. teapawt.net/markdhumphries/status/… One of my favorite neuroanatomists is Andreas Burkhalter, who inspired many of us with images like this: doi.org/10.1002/cne.21286 Let's explore these higher visual areas. 1/12
