LordMatt's Brain Imaging Research

[Teutooni]

Oh wow, congrats Matt!

In 20 years, we can all say we knew the guy (however remotely) who solved the mysteries of mind!

Well i guessed you had to get the Chimp in one of those http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging
-and have him in a testsituation that the animal could solve just like a human would. Or did i missunderstood something here ?

PS: The PS was late night written, so sorry for the many spelling errors.

Still more important - how high are your quotationrankings already ? Once People made it into Sience they are usually considered Standard and Quoted in other Scientists Work ... so i want a Number..
Highscore.. Highscore.. Highscore... LordMatt for first Place in NeuroScienceleague..

Basically they compared lord matt's brain to a chimp and found only one major difference.

My brain wasn't one of the ones compared directly in that study actually. The figure is from the brains used in a second human only study that was also recently published in Cerebral Cortex.

This is purely an anatomical study, looking into how the brain is physically connected, therefore there is no need for a task. The non-human primates were either anesthetized, or brains of those who had died earlier were scanned. About citations, I'm sure they will come, but people have to cite your paper in their work, and given the length of time it takes to get a paper published, they will probably start increasing in a few months.

One Question remains - where did all those Springplayers&Devs dissappear to who were invited in #main for a drink to UK by LordMatt... and were are suddenly - all those reacently dead Monkebrains coming from - maybee that missing brainparts will later remained- pardoned renamed as the "SpringGap"

I fuck in sky -
a Monkeys last Words..

Showed this thread to my GF, who's working on language and cognition in grad school... she said it was interesting stuff, and she would know much more about it than I would, so grats.

Yeah, this is genuinely really interesting. Good look with medical school! Was this during a separate degree or a medical intercalated BSc? I ask as I've considered retraining in medicine and it'd be interesting to hear experiences.

[LordMatt]

I did some of the work as undergraduate (BS in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology) and the rest during a Premedical Post-Bac program (I wasn't premed till really late in my undergraduate career, which required taking some more classes later).

You could always read the paper... Matt said it was published in that medicine dealio... I mean, normally only doctors read those, but peer reviewed papers are actually really good reading if you're interested in sciency stuff.
