Don't bother to count the number of authors in the Nature article as it will be an indeterminate number in any case because the list of authors, near the end, includes: " The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, The CHARGE Consortium, EPIGEN, IMAGEN, and SYS". These aren't listed as affiliated institutions but authors (unless there is a glitch in the way the authors are listed) because there are more individual authors listed after these groups. I guess if a corporation has free speech rights, it can also be credited with individual authorship on a scholarly article.

You'll have to click on "show more authors" to see how many. No, I did not bother to count how many. I'd rather wonder whether playing with a deflated football is better than playing with an inflated football. <Insert your own joke about playing with one's balls here> -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@mail-archive.com.
