Talk:The Other Eighty Percent of the Brain/@comment-31077845-20170216040117

Yes, we do only use a small percentage of our brain at a time. That would be because as humans we do lots of different things, and thus each part our brain will be used at different times and for different things. Memory, movement, hormonal release, vital functions, speech, facial recognition, emotion...all these things are all controlled by all kinds of various parts and structures in the brain. So basically all this guy's collegues should've told him his an idiot who doesn't understand neurobiology and question how he has a degree or research position.

And as to the story, it sure was nice of them to just sit there that entire time and let the girl finish eating another human down to the bone before administering a lethal injection, which they apparently chose over heavy sedatives that would've allowed them to safely take her somewhere and see if maybe she could be saved because....reasons. And she didn't have any serious concerns when their backup plan was "lethal injection"? But it's ok, because after the death of two people due to one of their staff's extremely irresponsible actions that were clearly funded by the university, they won't be functioning for long under the weight of all the investigations, trials, and lawsuits!
