Being seven years old and learning how to cook an apple crumble from scratch for the first time. It's my favourite winter desert and I could easily eat an entire casserole dish in one sitting, if I let myself... What do I remember?

It's similar, but it definitely an expansion of the Pavlovian model. Would you agree? Randolph, good to see you again!

I mean, this information is old hat. Isn't it? Isn't it evident after decades of research that life forms new neural pathways according to experience, internal and external. Or maybe Northwestern U's neuroscience is just getting their jollies? Maybe that's the actual focus of the article? I could be wrong, but isn’t this experiment in the same fold as Pavlov’s dogs?
