What kind of revelation is:

Brother Ling Wu's fan?  Can it be he's a woman?

Oh, Moses Chan, you're just too adorable.

Haha...

I love it when my notes from class don't make any sense and the professor's slides has nothing but diagrams I can't understand without explanation.  For example, straight from my outline:

G. circuitry
    2. surround activation by light -> hyperpolarize surround PR ------|
    |-- horizontal cell more hyperpolarize <- less glutamate release <-|
    |--> less glycine is released by horizontal -> center cone is depolarize ~ dark ----|
      hyperpolarization of ON bipolar/  <- more glutamate release from center PR <----|
      depolarization of OFF bipolar

That might be trying to describe lateral inhibition, but I can't quite tell...

As you've noticed, I like using arrows to describe steps in a process.

WHY IS THE VISUAL SYSTEM SO LOGICALLY BACKWARD?!  It releases more neurotransmitter in the absense of light than in the presence of light?  Light stimuli inhibits the release of neurotransmitters?!
