I think it’s dangerous to extrapolate from this analysis of the brain. What if it went like this:
“Sire, we have brought you this man. The astrologers say that his neurons and astrocytes are the most tightly packed in the kingdom.”
“Dear God, execute him at once.”

Turns out that certain soils (even some crypts) can help preserve a body for an inordinate amount of time. This was a good way to check on if you had a saint on your hands (see Brother’s Karamozov; yes, yes I know the priest hadn’t been buried; but that’s why he was laid out after death, to check). Or, alternately, a vampire.

Could it be, and I’m just thinking out loud here, the brain has these features because it has been dead and buried underground for 2,500 years???
