man nepatīk pierast pie lietām, kuru pieejamību es nevaru kontrolēt vai vismaz puslīdz precīzi prognozēt

uz brīdi man likās, ka rīt (nu, tehniski - šodien) ir pirmdiena un pēc 7h jau jābūt možai, nomodā un ārā no mājas; kādu prieku sniedz šādi mirklīgi pārpratumi!

The neuroscientist Susan Greenfield illustrates the amazing plasticity of the young brain in a cautionary tale of a six-year-old boy in Italy, who was blind in one eye. The cause of his blindness was a mystery. As far as the ophthalmologists could tell, his eye was perfectly normal. They eventually discovered that when he was a baby, he had been treated for a minor infection. The treatment included having the eye bandaged for two weeks. This would have made little difference to the eye of an adult. But in a young baby, the development of the eye-to-brain neural circuits is a delicate and critical process. Because the neurons serving the bandaged eye were not being used during this crucial period of development, they were treated by the brain as though they weren’t there at all. “Sadly,” said Greenfield, “the bandaging of the eye was misinterpreted by the brain as a clear indication that the boy would not be using the eye for the rest of his life.” The result was that he was permanently blinded in that eye.
