I really don't understand what is being discussed here. From my point of view (as a professional anatomist) I understand "his neural network system" as being essentially the same as his nervous system, i.e. his brain, spinal cord and nerves. I don't think that is what is being meant here, so Allen, could you clue me in on the real topic. Ted Fischer Dexter, Michigan USA
