Just fyi, my doctoral work of more than 40 years ago was on so-called movement detectors in the reptilian (turtle) brain. As I think back, wow!, were things crude then or what?! Hope all's well. David >>> Sandy Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/14/07 2:06 PM >>> The recent edition of the CERN Bulletin has an article about the collaboration between high energy physicists at Santa Clara and neurobiologists at Salk to locate retinal cells that detect movement. See http://bulletin.cern.ch/eng/earticles.php?bullno=46/2007&base=art#Article4 (scroll down to the third article.) CERN is the center of high energy research in Europe and is in Geneva, Switzerland. My husband is also working on the ATLAS experiment which is why I read the CERN Bulletin. I thought the news might be of interest to you, too,both for the discovery and for the fruitful collaboration. Sandra Price retired high school psychology teacher now living in France --- --- ---
