嘻嘻哈哈说嘻哈

这是我做的一个噩梦:我女儿跟一个家伙回到家里,跟我说:“老爸,我们要结婚了。”那家伙是个说唱歌手,满口大金牙,头戴说唱巾,胳膊上大块肌肉风起云涌,一副流氓无赖样。更可怖的是:你还没回过神,已经听到小脚板的啪嗒啪嗒声——他们的后代降临了。那声音长驱直入我的起居室,在我的生活里四下乱撞,把我淹没在自己的虚伪声音中,因为我年轻那会儿也曾是这么个傻瓜蛋,沉迷于我自己的音乐、自己的声音。为此,我诅咒看见他脸的那天,那张脸简直就是我的翻版;我悔不该在那天听见他的名字,因为我惊恐不安地明白过来,一种似乎没有旋律、情感、乐器、歌词、和弦、没有序曲、没有尾声、没有高潮的音乐,一种根本就不像是音乐的音乐——说唱,统治着世界。那不再是我的世界。那是他的世界。而我生活在其中,生活在一颗嘻哈行星上。

Margaret Kennard on sparing and recovery of function: a tribute on the 100th anniversary of her birth

Margaret Kennard was an American pioneer in the experimental study of sparing and recovery of function. Her most famous experiments were performed on monkeys and apes at Yale University during the late 1930s and early 1940s. By describing the behavioral effects of brain damage on infantile, juvenile, and older primates, she drew new attention to just how important developmental status can be at the time of neural insult. Kennard also conducted experiments which showed that even adult primates can exhibit significant sparing and recovery of function, especially if brain lesions are made in stages rather than all at once. In many respects, Kennard helped launch the modern era of research on sparing and recovery of function by demonstrating that several factors in addition to lesion locus can affect post-injury performance and by recognizing that, if neural reorganization does occur, it probably takes place in spared parts of the damaged system.     

A perplexing document in the early history of Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome: Melotti's rendition of a "Lecture of Charcot" (including a complete translation from the Italian with commentary)

In 1885, Dr. Guilio Melotti published an Italian translation of a lecture on "Convulsive Tics with Coprolalia and Echolalia" given by Jean-Martin Charcot. Although this lecture often has been cited as an authoritative statement of Charcot's view, until now it has not been translated into English. The lecture presents a number of statements that appear nowhere else in Charcot's published corpus, including some that seem to contradict Charcot's other pronouncements on maladie des tics. Although the Melotti-Charcot lecture may portray Charcot's position accurately in many passages, the article most likely is a compilation from a variety of sources.
