Entorhinal Cortexs and the Power of Luck

[unforth]

Do you know what an entorhinal cortex is? I didn't until about two minutes ago. I'm working on my story for Ni90, and I want a really esoteric sounding article from a Neuroscience journal to toss in to my story. I find "Artificial Synaptic Conductances Reduce Subthreshold Oscillations in Stellate Cells of the Entorhinal Cortex." This was pretty close to jibberish to me. However, to work it into my story right, I decide to look up a few of the technical terms. And I've been trying not to laugh ever since. I picked this article at random. Now, for those who don't know, my current wip is about a fellow suffering from near-total amnesia. So what IS the Entorhinal Cortex? "The entorhinal cortex (EC) is an important memory center in the brain." Thank you, Wikipedia. Go, luck, go! Heck, I think I might have just learned something about my super villain's super power. :)

Obviously your super villain's super power has nothing to do with spelling...they're cortices, dear ;)
