Talk:Spindle neuron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the following passage for two reasons:

"By shunting concentrated neural signals through these giant neurons, and past dampening interference, holonomic focus is thought to be more sharply defined (see 'Holographic Brain Theory')."

First it was sandwiched between passages about John Allman's research, which has nothing to do with the above; second, it was complete nonsense. If this is to be included anywhere in the article, it should be qualified by some explanation and relevant research.

I'd like to suggest a revision. Due to the recent study in Anatomical Studies, the sentences regarding the humpback have been added. For completeness, I offer this quote: "Patrick Hof and Estel Van der Gucht of the Department of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York studied the spindle cells said they appear in the same areas (cortex) in humpback whales, fin whales, killer whales, and sperm whales."
