The researchers included Figure 2 in the paper for the purpose of accentuating to the reader that when MFB stimulation is paired with place cell activity, it does in deed create a goal oriented behavior, as the researchers predicated. With a quick glance, the figure visually demonstrates that the spatial behavior of the mice show a clear preference for the area that has been associated with the MFB stimulation. Figure 2 accomplishes this by starting off with a diagram of occupancy maps that allow

No neurosurgeon, no psychologist, and certainly no other mere mortals have ever been able to understand this organ—and by extension, themselves. Do not be fooled by those who go out into the world to try and find themselves; How could one ever find themselves out there when all they really need is already inside their skull?
