Letter: Letters: Brain storm

Published 16 January 1993

From LEWIS GRIFFIN

Congratulations on your excellent brain poster (12 December). One fact,
however, stands in need of correction. The area of the unfolded cerebral
cortex is about that of an unopened broadsheet newspaper (2500 cm2), not
a tennis court.
