Brains!
As some of you know, I fancy myself an armchair neuroscientist. I love thinking about the brain and learning about new discoveries. My curiosity was initially piqued by Mind Wide Open, and I haven't been satisfied since. There are so many new advances and discoveries in the area of neuroscience! Personally, my excitement stems from the idea that what we know about the brain gives insight into human behavior and ethics. We cannot know how best to live without first knowing how we function as human beings. It's hard to improve yourself when you don't know where you are starting from.

Glad I didn't read this on my lunch break ;)
WV: saino, n., I will never be as saino as I think I am.
I am just commenting for the WV
WV: Melucks. as in 'Melucks all ran out."
Also, saino should be an adj. not a noun...geeze
Wow, those photos look like what I had to do during first year (in dental school...you wouldn't be the first to question the relevance). Nothing like slicing through the amygdala....
wv: prona (Herbal Amanda is prona to making grammatical errors). Crap, prona be used as noun, not an adjective, right? =)
Speaking of grammatical errors, I'm apparently I'm prona to them as well.
Jillian, I am grateful for your pursuit of brainfo. Your hobby keeps me much better informed.
