In youth with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the brain matures in a normal pattern but is delayed three years in some regions, on average, compared to youth without the disorder, an imaging study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has revealed. The delay in ADHD was most prominent in regions at the front of the brain’s outer mantle (cortex), important for the ability to control
thinking, attention and planning. Otherwise, both groups showed a similar back-to-front wave of brain maturation with different areas peaking in thickness at different times...Click text for full article.

I guess I'll respond here.
Yes! The new image- it is by a Russian artist named Alexander Rodchenko. It was the basis for the cover of Franz's sophomore album, 'You Could Have It So Much Better'

An excellent album, by the way.
And of course, the blog name, 'Prophets of Tesco' is an allusion to the Franz song, 'The Fallen' when he says, "Who gives a damn about the prophets of tesco?"
Tescos is a grocery store chain located mostly Europe (or entirely, I'm not sure) and Prophets is a play on words, like "profits."
I thought it was Russian. Very cool. 1930s and 1950s Russian propaganda art is very modern.
Indeed, a great album for sure! The only time I ever performed karaoke (along with three other people) was to a song off their first album....I felt like Bill Murray singing in Lost in Translation.
Nice! I was wondering what the title was all about.
Caro, Mr. Carlisle's psych class also seems to be covering/has covered split brain stuff too...there's a vid that I watched on his blog with that Gazzaniga guy.
Also, can I come in tomorrow morning before school and ask some ques on the worksheet?
Of course!
What a coincidence! I just purchased that soundtrack off of iTunes =)
I was distracted by Gazzaniga's clashing striped sweater vest and polka dot tie for a majority of the video!
But, it was informative
Ha! Paje you crack me up! He is dressed a bit mesmerizingly.
Hi Mr. Caro! This is Mona from per. 2.
I didn't quite picture Gazzaniga to look like he does in the video on your blog, but the stuff that's talked about it cool.
