I love that.

While I don't trust the Mail to report on science anything accurately, it should be noted that UCL has one of the highest rated neuroscience departments in the world (IIRC it is rated second, actually).  And Professor Geraint Rees, who carried out the research, isn't exactly a crank either.

So I guess I'll just have to wait until I can see the paper....

It's really unfortunate that the only science journalism that I can trust for accuracy are 1) field experts (in their own papers, writings or blogs) and 2) the Not Exactly Rocket Science blog.

And while Ed Young tries very hard to cover a diverse number of topics, he can't cover everything.

Poor Ed Young (I also read his blog.  Though Razib Khan's Gene Expression blog at the same site is more relevant to my interests).

This will make excellent trolling material.
