Brain Quote by Rodolfo Llinas
“The future of human relationships will be directly related to the cerebral functions. For this reason it is already a fundamental thing. In the past, and well until today, some South American countries have had a great neuropharmacological history, since the natives' times. It is necessary that we remind ourselves of the many licit and illicit drugs that were generated in our continent and that act on the brain.”

![“If [people] place such things as friendship and family ties above their own productive work, yes, then they are immoral.

![“We [human beings] are two-legged omnivorous animals, and this means that we have many ecological niches, regarding the possible places where we can live. Therefore, we have to adapt to these different environments and we cannot predict, in a generic way, in which type of world we are going to live…” quote by Rodolfo Llinas](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d1d/rodolfo-llinas-42129_animal_we-human-beings-are-two-legged-omnivorou_3182319.jpg)
