November PLoS Biology

The November issue of PLoS Biology is out. Some highlights:

* It has sometimes been suggested that our brains have two visual systems, one for perceiving and one for acting; there's new evidence that this hypothesis is flawed. Synopsis. Research.

* There's some suggestive evidence that the prefrontal cortex might be doing more in working memory cases than just short-term memory. Synopsis. Research.

* There's an interesting essay on biodiversity.
