The technique, developed by Herculano-Houzel and originally used to reveal the number of neurons existing in the human brain, dissolves the brain and liquefies each neuron. Once mushed to an "unfiltered apple-juice" consistency, only free-floating nuclei from neurons remain in the "brain soup," which a researcher can then count.

This method helped the team discover that dogs possess about 530 million neurons in the cortex, while cats have about 250 million. For perspective, the human cortex contains 16 billion neurons. Herculano-Houzel said it's possible even small dogs, like chihuahuas or corgis, have more neurons than cats.

"Then the logical implication is that, yes, dogs are much more capable than cats," Herculano-Houzel said.

:whew:
His owner, Hetherington, added the feline (not pictured) as a co-author when he realized that although he was the sole author, he used the plural "we" and "our." Instead of retyping his entire paper, he simply tacked on his cat Chester, sneakily calling him "F.D.C. Willard"

Basically catset is a bunch of lazy people who are too lazy to go back and correct typos

He could'nt figure out which one to turn at first :mjlol:

The cat had a very clear idea of what he needed to do and he even came up with a strategy to remove the obstacle

Almost like the one with more production value in his video was practicing a rehearsed ritual rather than being shown a problem and figuring it out on its own.
