      Just for context: parent comment was posted when the submission title was "Human brain is two separate organs, research finds". We've since changed it.

      (Perhaps the updated title is less objectionable?)

        The paper title sits better with me, even as a non-expert: "Two parallel neural ectoderm progenitors contribute to the developing brain".
