Last I heard, Kandel-at-Columbia was still studying plasticity in
small, well-defined neural systems, i.e. in Aplysia.  My last hearing
was not years ago but days ago.  Of course, he could be gone by now
(Thankgiving break?).

Only kkollins great (self-pronounced) Compassion for the Children could
make him time and time again subject himself to the Ridicule of
=Whomoever= by Compulsively answering questions on topics he knows
scarcely anything about--Generously exposing his Ignorance with no
concern for his own =Well-Being= and the slings and arrows of outraged
readers...

Bytheway: krebs cycle in rodents or elsewhere is FAR removed from what
Eric Kandel is studying.  Sounds vaguely familiar; suspect it is a
long-standing scam, seemingly new because of Discovery Channel
desperation for topics.

re HM: to be more precise, he had BILATERAL temporal lobe excision for
intractable epilepsy.  After his unfortunate example, only UNILATERAL 
excisions are used these days...  (Now maybe kkkollins will respond as
=Wisely= as he did when I contrasted unilateral and bilateral ECT).
