Twin Mysteries. In their work, all of these researchers are striving toward two major goals: explaining learning and memory. Anatomically, there is no specific learning center in the brain, and there is no explanation for learning. "There is no known basis for learning; it cannot take place," says Teuber. "In fact," he adds jokingly, "as a teacher, I sometimes wonder if it does...
Neuroscientists generally appreciate their concern. "It is a measure of the distrust with which science is now viewed that people automatically think first of the evil that scientific knowledge can bring," says M.I.T.'s Teuber. "It's as if we're suffering from some sort of Manhattan Project complex...
That self-awareness resides in the brain, the organ about which scientists have the most to learn. To Physiologist Charles Sherrington, the brain's 10 billion nerve cells were like "an enchanted loom" with "millions of flashing shuttles." For some functions, M.I.T. Professor Hans-Lukas Teuber explains, brain cells are pre-programmed with "enormous specificity of configuration, chemistry and connection." Some are sensitive only to vertical lines, others only to horizontal or oblique ones. "Each of these little creatures does his thing," Teuber says...
...Schwartz) suggests a veteran of the Sierra Maestra, while St. Matthew (Michael Dobson) has the face, though not the demeanor, of a Renaissance devotional subject brought to life--the broken image partially and unexpectedly restored.

Teuber's Christ is by turns a performer, a teacher, an advocate, as well as men and God. Playing always to an audience among the other characters--whether to his disciples, his accusers, or the crowd at large--he reserves the essential personality of Christ himself. Where acting styles are concerned, "use anything" would appear to be Teuber's operating principle, no less that that of the entire remarkable show, including Peter Ivers' electric eclectic...
