Thank you for clearing that up about the blood flow. I just started
wondering where the blood came from after reading about the
centrifuge being used to draw blood from the frontal area to induce

to one area was coming from other areas of the body, not other areas
of the brain. This has made me wonder. But then I have a vivid
imagination.
