Robert Sapolsky Interview: Toxoplasmosis
Follow up on yesterday's notables on parasites influence on the mind in the animal kingdom.
Robert Sapolsky on Toxoplasmosis, interviewed by Edge TV. The cellular interference noises stop after 3:30. Sorry about that.
It dovetails with the notion that parasites may be changing the minds of those infected to participate in activity that give the parasite the best chance of survival and reproduction in more hosts.

Quads confirm.
Something he said @around the 19 minute mark stood out to me:
He mentions the link between cats, toxoplasmosis and schizophrenia and the crazy cat lady
Is the controversy from the JD Vance comment on the Cat Ladies related? A call to digg on the effects of parasites on the mind
?
