Well, it was a Sacks book, so go read them all, and you'll fint it
and have a metric hogshed of fun to boot. Actually... I think it was
either in Awakenings, or in The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat.
I think. I also think it's wh ere Sacks had the interesting bits
in about dopamine doses being untitratable being related to neurofunction
being chaotic, with normal functioning some sort of strange attractor,
blah, blah, blah. Not the usual nonsense-jursic-park form of chaos,
neither, but naict an actual, reasonable (if tenative) analysis.
Hrm, I think I should go find that again...
