12 new frog species discovered

Haven’t we heard this before? But does the study hold water? If you put a child in a car and drive thru a highly trafficated inner city neon environment in nine minutes and then check how she performs concentrating tasks afterwords, is it not likely that a child spending nine minutes in a quiet city park performs the tasks better? In other words, is it not the high dose of synaptic stimuli that interfer with concentration (which deals with another part of the brain)? 

Put the blame where it belongs. Don’t touch my Bob. ;)
