ONE SYNAPTIC MOMENT Gretchen Fletcher Do you remember that moment when Mind reached out from the hemispheres with one dendritic finger to make connection with Man? Sparks fired across a space 50,000 times as small as a millimeter and traveled the infinite distance between neurons, 30,000 of which could sit on the head of a pin like so many angels dancing. And that frescoed finger of God paused for just a moment at the point of creating an eternity. Sparks pirouetted across the place where synapses are created. Form came from void. Bulbs branched from stem and the synaptic moment entered the cortex of long term memory. We were there. Do you remember?
