Think About It by Davivid Rose Via Flickr: I posted the above after viewing a magazine ad produced by the Coca-Cola company in 1969 promoting the soft drink Tab: "Stay in his mind". "Be a mindsticker". "When you can't be with him, be in his mind". "Have a shape he can't forget. Tab can help. It's sugar-free." ("Columbia University neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel won a Nobel prize in 2000 for proving that memory---which had been regarded previously as fleeting, insubstantial, and not really a subject that could be investigated with a microscope---has a physical basis, and that each new thought and new memory actually alters your neurons at a molecular level." ---Kristan Lawson, the East Bay Express, 3.28. 2007.) ("The dream of artists...is to plant themselves in other people's heads." ---Tad Friend, The New Yorker, 8.16. 2010.) ("It's going to be alive in this space for a limited time then disappear. Just like us. But for people who interact with it, it will be embedded in their minds, so it's not really gone." ---Sun K. Kwak, describing her art which was shown at the "Phantoms of Asia" exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Kwak was quoted by Jesse Hamlin in the San Francisco Chronicle, 5.13. 2012.) ("The words remained in her mind." ---Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the last words in their science fiction novel DUNE: HOUSE CORRINO.) (Advice columnist Ann Landers once wrote that sometimes it might not be a good idea to let "...someone...live rent-free in your head." "...the phrase echoes the schoolyard and the blunt way children express difference: 'You think about me, but I don't think about you.' It recalls the famous line in "Mad Men"...in which Don Draper ends an argument with a surly subordinate by stating, flatly, 'I don't think about you at all.' The ability to make others think about you, and to let others know about it, is a form of power." ---Joseph Bernstein, BuzzFeed News, 10.1. 2018. ["Mad Men" was an acclaimed 2007-2015 television series about a fictional advertising executive in New York City. The series was set in the time period of 1960-1970.]) A randomly-edited selection of approximately 700 of my pictures may be viewed by clicking on the link below: www.flickr.com/groups/psychedelicart/pool/43237970@N00/ Please click here to read my "autobiography": thewordsofjdyf333.blogspot.com/ And my Flicker "profile" page may be viewed by clicking on this link: www.flickr.com/people/jdyf333/ My telephone number is: 510-260-9695

You could double the number of synaptic connections in a very simple neurocircuit as a result of experience and learning. The reason for that was that long-term memory alters the expression of genes in nerve cells, which is the cause of the growth of new synaptic connections. When you see that at the cellular level, you realize that the brain can change because of experience. It gives you a different feeling about how nature and nurture interact. They are not separate processes.
