“But the way [the brain] fixes the relative timing of events depends on memory, the new study found.”

Dendrite, “the branching process of a neuron that conducts impulses toward the

cell.” From Gk, pertaining to a tree.

Pine

Pine coffin

Fir

Fur

A second-hand cashmere sweater he purchased for her so she wouldn’t leave.

Leaves

Leaf through the book, even the electronic one—

Snowy screen. Snowball, snow bank, snow storm. Snow-pea.

Electrical

From the electric rice-cooker, a kind of gruel. Salty. Maybe a little furikake. Not

the sled or madeleine, obviously.

Maybe a storage pod or warren of units. Climate controlled.

Cartons of childhood possessions—some no longer viable—like videotapes.

Like videotapes of girls twirling on the Oriental.
