- Andersen : Grandmother.
- Eventyr-indeks Om oversættelsen Grandmother.
- Grandmother is so very old; she has so many wrinkles, and her hair is completely white, but her eyes shine just like two stars; yes, yet they are much more beautiful; they are so gentle, so wonderful to look into. ... Grandmother knows a great deal, for she was alive long before father and mother-that much is certain! She has a hymnbook with heavy clasps of silver, and often reads from it. ... Why is it that Grandmother looks that way at the withered flower in the old book? Do you know? Why, every time her tears fall upon the rose its colors become fresh again; the rose swells and fills the whole room with its perfume; the walls sink as if they were made of mist, and all about her is the green, beautiful wood, with the summer sunlight streaming through the leaves of the trees. And Grandmother-why, she's young again, a lovely girl with yellow curls and round red cheeks, pretty, graceful, fresher than any rose. But the eyes, the mild, blessed eyes, they are still Grandmother's eyes. ... Grandmother cannot smile like that now. Yes, the smile is coming back now! He has gone, and with him many other thoughts and forms of the past; the handsome man has gone, and only the rose lies in the hymnbook, and Grandmother-yes, she still sits there, an old woman, glancing down at the withered rose in her book.
- Now Grandmother is dead. ...
- All the wrinkles were gone, and there was a smile on her lips; her hair was so silvery and so venerable, and one wasn't at all afraid to look at the corpse, for it was sweet, dear, good Grandmother. The hymnbook was placed under her head, as she had wished, and the rose was still in the old book; and then they buried Grandmother.
- But above bloom fresh roses, the nightingale sings, the organ peals, and we think of the old Grandmother with the gentle, eternally young eyes. ... Ours will some time behold Grandmother again, as young and beautiful as when for the first time she kissed the fresh red rose which is now dust in her grave.

- GRANDMOTHER GRANDMOTHER is very old, her face is wrinkled, and her hair is quite white; but her eyes are like two stars, and they have a mild, gentle expression in them when they look at you, which does you good. ... Grandmother knows a great deal, for she was alive before father and mother- that's quite certain. ... "I wonder why grandmother looks at the withered flower in the old book that way? Do you know?" Why, when grandmother's tears fall upon the rose, and she is looking at it, the rose revives, and fills the room with its fragrance; the walls vanish as in a mist, and all around her is the glorious green wood, where in summer the sunlight streams through thick foliage; and grandmother, why she is young again, a charming maiden, fresh as a rose, with round, rosy cheeks, fair, bright ringlets, and a figure pretty and graceful; but the eyes, those mild, saintly eyes, are the same,- they have been left to grandmother. ... Grandmother cannot smile like that now. Yes, she is smiling at the memory of that day, and many thoughts and recollections of the past; but the handsome young man is gone, and the rose has withered in the old book, and grandmother is sitting there, again an old woman, looking down upon the withered rose in the book. Grandmother is dead now. ... We did not feel at all afraid to look at the corpse of her who had been such a dear, good grandmother. The hymn-book, in which the rose still lay, was placed under her head, for so she had wished it; and then they buried grandmother. ... But over the grave fresh roses bloom, the nightingale sings, and the organ sounds and there still lives a remembrance of old grandmother, with the loving, gentle eyes that always looked young. ... Ours will once again behold dear grandmother, young and beautiful as when, for the first time, she kissed the fresh, red rose, that is now dust in the grave. ...

- Some reflections on (or by?) grandmother cells .
- It was with relief that I read recently that Jerry Lettvin (1995) admits, with `proud shame', to having thought of the term `grandmother cell' to refer to what we now know as. ... well, the grandmother cell. This is not to mean he thought of the concept of grandmother cells, merely that he thought of using that term to refer to the concept. ... Actually, it turns out that Lettvin thought originally of `mother cells', and the term `grandmother' was added only as an afterthought: having dismissed mother cells as logically untenable, he reckoned grandmother cells were a safer bet, because ``grandmothers are notoriously ambiguous and often formless''. ... In that paper, Horace Barlow (1972) mentions grandmother cells---but only once, and then just to dismiss them. Yet only six months later, in the 14 June 1973 edition of New Scientist, Colin Blakemore was able to write: ``Surely animals cannot have individual detector cells for every conceivable object they can recognise? This great debate has become known as the question of the `grandmother cell'. Do you really have a certain nerve cell for recognising the concatenation of features representing your grandmother?'' (page 675; my italics). ...
- The reason I thought `grandmother cell' such a good term was that it implied that, if the theory were true, each of us would have different wiring for our grandmother cells; hence this wiring could not be innate (since Colin would not recognise my grandmother and I would not recognise his). ... (Several important points are assumed here: like Lettvin and Blakemore, I thought of grandmother cells as responsible for the recognition of one's own grandmother, not just grandmothers in general. I was also glossing over such facts as: we each have two grandmothers; siblings may share those grandmothers; and grandmothers may, like mine, die before I was born, hence making me one of those individuals Lettvin tried to imagine who had no grandmother cells. ...
- But there is another question about the grandmother-cell concept that has always puzzled me: where do the axons of grandmother cells go? Under Hubel and Wiesel's hierarchical model, cells in earlier stages of the visual pathway were taken to transmit information to other cells at higher stages in the visual system. The notion of grandmother cells is simply the result of extrapolating that principle. So whither grandmother cell axons? Outside the visual system, I suppose---to `higher centres'. Fans of modular theories of the brain might then define grandmother cells as those cells that project out of the visual module---to the memory or arousal systems, for example. Conversely, one could use grandmother cells to discover or define where the boundaries of the visual system lie. ... On this model, the little man in the head, or whatever other process leads to awareness, `looks at' the outputs of grandmother cells. ...
