2 questions on this:

1. What does the long-lasting change look like? Was it that brain areas that previously could communicate now could not or was it something else unrelated to communication?
2. Why is this unique? I guess my question here is to ask in the most curious and least offensive way “why should anyone care” like what does this new insight give us?
