Thanks Neverdem.
Actually she actually emailed me back already with other articles by this author. This new one isn't available on PubMed yet ... it's not even on the Annals of Neurology site yet ... where it's supposed to be published already. It should be there by the end of the week.
I'll summarize and post once I get the full article. The abstract doesn't say much more than the "for public consumption" ones did.
IMHO, a well written abstract is enough to make the take home point and satisfy my curiosity. Otherwise, the stuff in a whole article gets dense on time consuming details, usually only good for arguing those particular details or having its references, although it's nice to have.
