If it's still Friday and if you pay attention to science or technology or the brain, or if you think that live feeds are cool, then zip on over to the lab at UC San Diego RIGHT NOW where scientists are peeling 2500 slices off of a man who was brain damaged 57 years ago, during an experimental surgery to relieve his seizures. Ever after, his short term memory was good for 15 minutes at a time. He donated his brain to science, and this is what they are doing with it, to study memory.
I have to get cookie dough made, and will fill out this story later. But they might finish the live feed today. So watch it now, and read the story later.
