Thanks for the link. Great part ...Hi Neurocritic, <br /><br />Thanks for the link. Great part of the brain. Going to be building on my model some more in due course - just been doing some background data gathering - to try and get an evolutionary perspective. These are exciting times!<br /><br />JustinJustinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-18060218716306955972010-06-09T16:02:05.683-07:002010-06-09T16:02:05.683-07:00I thought I just saw an article on the habenula......I thought I just saw an article on the habenula...
