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
