Farewell to Oliver Sacks, the great thinker that understood how a man could mistake his wife for a hat, and delineated the distinction between apperceptive agnosia and associative agnosia........You know.....I was just looking for that whatjamacallit next to the thingamagig....You know.....the one that's a dead ringer for what'shername, Dolallies's friend......
"The brain is more than an assemblage of autonomous modules, each crucial for a specific mental function. Every one of these functionally specialized areas must interact with dozens or hundreds of others, their total integration creating something like a vastly complicated orchestra with thousands of instruments, an orchestra that conducts itself, with an ever-changing score and repertoire.”
― Oliver Sacks
