Whicker and lichens, actually, w/pig tendon fasteners (dried, of course).

I am against Gaysie Marriage too. What will they want next, free penises?
I don't get it. Am I on drugs?
Too much rhyming; it sets bells and gongs off in my head!
Excellent! It looks like you have some background in bio-psychology! I will have to russle up my references, as I graduated almost a year ago, but I am more from the Cognitive perspective, which sheds some light in how we have a different take on memory.
Give me a little time and i'll be back with my references. I am going to have to peruse those papers you posted as well.

Wonderful, and that's not just because I'm wonderful. 8.542.
Fair enough to the second part (that's a good enough reason).
However I'm not aware of any serious research that suggest the first (I would appreciate any contrary references?) however there is a laundry list of research to support the idea that long term memories are formed only after a novel stimulus:
Here are some references if you are interested:
Cortical cholinergic activity is related to the novelty of the stimulus. - Miranda MI et al. (Neuroscience Letters)
Bidirectional modulation of long-term potentiation by novelty-exploration in rat dentate gyrus. - Straube T et al. (Brain Res)
The role of identified neurotransmitter systems in the response of insular cortex to unfamiliar taste: activation of ERK1-2 and formation of a memory trace. - Berman DE et al. (J Neurosci)
Human hippocampus associates information in memory.
Henke K et al. (PNAS)
Contribution of human hippocampal region to novelty detection.
Knight R. (Nature)
(I'm not trying to be an ass here, I'm just having a discussion and trying my best to keep you honest. There are people with more experience than both you or I who don't know everything that's out there in the literature.)
This really sucks at my lovely sock.
You use too many lurge words.
A piece for a non-hostile world. 9.834.
interesting......i like it, but KC it needs more flow. i don't want to sound like the rest of these mean spirited people, but it does need a little work, but i like it the way it is now. i am sure once you have time you will make it into a work of art. i have no doubt of your capabilities. = )

Indeed not! It is the MEDIOCRE POEME CHECKLISTE.
Yes actually, but it was more of a mental and emotional fracture.
Well I have about 3 years of memory research under my belt, so current research suggests it is true. But I usually don't aim for logic in my poetry, it's more of a case of just saying what feels appropriate, even if it isn't correct in the real world.
wyrd to yo mudda.
