lets see what the headline is.  The social sciences love to get a new term out there, really describe something well.  The trick is to describe it so it appears to be truth.  of course, it would be a false theory if proven wrong, although they always have human variability as a excuse.  hence definitions and terms that float and overlap like a cloud.  Thankfully we all operate on a similar machine and our behavior and reality are rather similar, allowing this "science" function.

Also, the point of what will seep out of this paper to gather in the collective mind, probably the headline.  What's the headline?  That's the agenda and money maker.  Oh look, just like most "science", the trusted "scientists" opinion is put at the top of the label, not facts or truth.  just a haphazard headline to make money and pay some bills.  I really don't want to fund more research Mr. West.  Id like to see you go out and get a real job, pay some taxes that fund your university ya know.  thanks.

I want a government fund and do a study on whether government funding is a good or bad idea

No one stop to think this same issue with your hippocampus degrading can also be attributed to using your smart phone to navigate for you?

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

  Everyone's brain is different and other parts of the brain may be increasing in activity as other parts are decreasing.
    I myself have had problems in the past with poor graphics and am more susceptible than others to rapid screen movement. AH is a gem for me as the game delivers a realistic view.
   I have avoided playing too much WOT as I will actually get a headache after a few hours due to the rapid screen movement. AH has never had that effect on me after too many hours of playing (says the wife ack).
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.
