This was such an interesting interview. I am not a scientist....just a grandmother of 10 who is passionately interested in learning how our brains are shaped and how they work.
You do a wonderful service, Ginger Campbell, to make so much information available to the layman.
I'm going to google Paul Allen to thank him for using his massive fortune to support such important research.
