"Traveller, there is no path, Paths are made by walking". Antonio Machado



"Nowadays few subscribe to the silly distinction between mental activity and brain activity, as if airy-fairy thoughts were something that floated free, beamed in from Planet Zog. Everything that happens to you, everything you are thinking, has some kind of physical basis rooted in your physical brain. ... Although we are born with pretty much all the brain cells we will ever have, it is the growth of the connections after birth which accounts for the growth of our brains. Even into old age, one's brain remains 'plastic': that is to say, it is constantly dynamic, it is constantly evolving and changing, mirroring the connections that are created by your experiences and what you do." Susan Greenfield, Darwin College Lectures, 2001
