One side note: even with eyes "closed", light penetrates your eye lids, and you can see things. Of course they are very very blurry.

comment Can we disambiguate competing molecular mechanisms of learning and plasticity by measuring electrical activity of neurons?
Yes, that could be a strategy. I like your idea. But, you'll need to record from pairs of connected cells intracellularly which is not impossible, but limits long stable recordings. I guess imaging techniques may be able to get over this limit.

comment Why are mosquitoes repelled by smoke?
Remember mosquitoes have very sensitive CO2 sensors. They track their prey using CO2, and smoke has lots of CO2 which makes mosquitoes blind, I presume.
