X-Message-Number: 13721 Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 09:58:09 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #13714 - #13720 To Yvan Bozzonetti again: We not only need better ways to look at brains, but better understanding of them. Yes, a better way to examine a living, working brain would be useful for that, but should NOT be identified with it. One major problem with any version of X-rays (assuming to start that all the physical problems of working with X-rays have been dealt with) is that they will at best only indirectly tell us about the BIOCHEMICALS involved. And those biochemicals are important. After all, between every neuron there will be BOTH chemical and electrical transmission, and seeing only one gives a false picture. Best and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13721
