although you quote from stuff i've retracted, be-cause it was with respect
to either hoax or plagerism, and i didn't want to 'get involved' with such,
since you've brought it up, in this context, i stand on what i posted.
i reiterated the same-stuff in another post [in another thread], with
respect to the why of the 'animal-learning' paradigm results re. H. M.
that an LTP-like dynamic is introduced at one site within the brain does
not, somehow, 'cancel' all the 'normal' processing that occurs elsewhere in
the brain [although it probably does alter what would, otherwise, be the
nature of the 'normal' processing.

in the context you've posted, i stand on what i formerly posted, even
