Yeah. And then Henning and his colleagues found the same pathways in humans by looking at donated brain tissue and scanning brains of volunteers who sat in an fMRI machine and were fed a sugar solution through a tube.

According to lead researcher Roxanne Beltran, a huge pulley system, basically. They wait for pregnant females to return from their months long foraging trip to beaches on the California coast where they give birth and bond with their pups. Then using binoculars and cameras, the scientists identify previously tagged seals they want to weigh and then they weigh them.
