👍 - yup, interesting subject - if of interest, Jim Al-Khallili's 2 pt Horizon doc on evolution of various brain functions well worth a watch - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

BTW, this was someone moaning to me such surveys 'rubbish'. I defended national survey techniques, explaining we need not take such local mapping as 'Gospel', esp. when phrasing provides clearer understanding (precision more important for accuracy useful for density heatmapping, etc.)
