"The human brain has a huge number of synapses. Each of the 10 11 (one hundred billion) neurons...": I don't know of ANY work documenting that often cited number, even by authorities such as Kandell, with NO REFERENCE given. The classic work is Blinkov, S.M. and Glezer, I.I. The Human Brain in Figures and Tables. A Quantitative Handbook, New York: Plenum Press, 1968. I remember 2 other more recent references but I can't trace them. Mesulam may cite them in one of his books. Problem: no index uses number or neuron number in its lists.

I can't find the way to INSERT the citation either in text or references.
