Our brains are so interesting. Dr. Ursula Belugi, director of the Laboratory of Neuroscience at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Ca is doing some interesting research on that subject and have included people who have Williams Syndrome, who score much higher than the general population on face and facial emotion recognition and also are generally more musical.

We are learning so much these days about abilities that we are born with or without. I would like to stick around for another fifty years and see what else we will find out.
