On hearing the brain’s electrical neuron circuitry was a
mirror of the cellular synapses in the genome project, the Cream Cheese
Bandit, was optimistic about alleviating, if not curing, his habitual shoplifting syndrome.
Didn’t Robert Louis Stevenson demonstrate the short circuiting in “Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde”?
II
He remembered way back back when
at ages twelve and thirteen,, he strode the halls and corridors of P.S. 217
(Newkirk&Coney Island Aves), he saw a freckled faced re headed girl named
Jewel, being bullied and teased, for her
epileptic fits.
How could the inmates know the
neuron s in her brain were short circuiting. That the map had imploded,
affecting the mouth, larynx, throat, tongue. The very speech itself, immersed
in the stuttering and stumbling.. neuron activity gone “haywire”.
III
Could the mapping of those neurons
way before the digital revolution play a role in Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine
discovery? .To allay fears of degeneration, rehab way back when the pioneering thinking, prior to WW2, most of us were still
living in the dark ages of the La Brea Tar Pits and the spooks of Alley Oop and
Dinny the Dinosaur.
IV
Therefore as the beneficiaries
of the cellular DNA discoveries of the genome ten year project fades away, the
U/C San Francisco Med brain mapping is at the tip of the brain neuron iceberg .
Three epileptic patients were “mapped”
for their circuitry and the tests were applied for a time period. Whether the
prognosis seemed like a Doctor Frankenstein “primitive” we’re not sure. But the
software combining with the hardware, brought forth the on line revelations.
In brain neuron circuitry, the three manifested dynamic neuron
connections in the circuity. How could the nay sayers not now master their own
“frog in the throats?”
V
isability and neuron electricity
short circuiting.
Wasn’t handicapped Jewel but a microcosm of themselves?
VI
Could Jewel, the butt of her
peers bullying “superiority;” become the very mapping in the treatment and cure
for the Cream Cheese Bandit’s schizophrenic
and split personality?
