If you’ve ever felt yourself becoming light headed, with both a dry mouth and a slight numbness around the tongue whilst wandering around the fine arts wing at the university, many of you had simply assumed it was a subconscious mental reaction as the uselessness of your degree finally hit home.
The truth, however, is far more unsettling.

Even primitive nervous systems are comprised of numerous heterogeneous nerve cells (neurons), intertwined in a hierarchy of networks. Such complex organization makes it difficult to definitively assign roles to neurons of a particular type or anatomical location.
