This is your brain on drugs

Or, more precisely, this is a slice of a rat's brain on drugs. Well, gradually now off of drugs again.

I am trying to decide if this is or is not more thrilling than designing waveforms.

In other news, saw the Transformers movie yesterday. Generally entertained. Could spend a lot of time picking it apart (well, and did) though in this case it's actually more interesting and challenging to figure out what would make it a better movie, rather than cataloging the ways in which it wasn't a good one. There is, of course, overlap...

A short list...( spoilers, if you care... )
