From The Clarion-Ledger:
The notion that humans use only about 10 percent of those billions of neurons floating
around in their skulls and many brain cells are, in a sense, on permanent vacation,
just waiting to be roused from their idyll. Wrong. That notion grew from a 19th century
experiment in which a researcher removed ever larger portions of brain tissue from
a range of animals and then observed how that affected their behavior, University
of California, Irvine cognitive science professor Gregory Hickok recently wrote in
The New York Times.
