I wish I could say I knew more about this stuff, but I'm fascinated by some aspects of biology. Douglas Adams had a knack for describing animal traits and explaining how their biology fit hand-in-hand with their skills/bahaviour.

I'll bet ther's a biological explanation for why this Chimp fares so well, but I've no clue what it is.

Here's a clip about the chimp concerned from today's Richard and Judy show.

About human memory :

Deep stimulation 'boosts memory'

https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7213972.stm

(that's brain stimulation)

I could've used that in university. Alas, medical science was 10 years too late.

Difficult to work out who's the chimp in some of the pics above....
