And the connection between the brain and the heart and all other parts of the body is unknown and spectacular. Of course, we all know that "love" as nothing to do with the actual "heart" to begin with! I really wish that the modern meme had become the liver or the kidney rather than the heart!
And his studies into the plasticity in the brain is definitely worthwhile.
