two examples I have for you this evening
two examples I have for you this evening one is autism spectrum disorder and the

other is Alzheimer’s
other is Alzheimer’s the first is autism and I’ll show it to
the first is autism and I’ll show it to

the brain the activity of those nerve
the brain the activity of those nerve fibers and with autism it’s all about
