OK a zillion cool things to talk about but this one is really really interesting.

The energy requirements of the brain are very high, and tight regulatory mechanisms operate to ensure adequate spatial and temporal delivery of energy substrates in register with neuronal activity. Astrocytes—a type of glial cell (think of them like symbionts in the root system) —have emerged as active players in brain energy delivery, production, utilization, and storage. Our understanding of neuroenergetics is rapidly evolving from a "neurocentric" view to a more integrated picture involving an intense cooperativity between astrocytes and neurons. So our neurons are completely dependent on the glial cells to get energy. Just like the roots do to survive...exactly like the roots. Even more interesting is how the energy and information is cancelled.

I'm starting to think that the cortex is just a big series of roots in communication w each through these symbionts we call white matter.

Oh, and connected to a vagina.

That's basically it evolution-wise. Mate, survive. Mate. Wash Rinse Repeat.
