You weren't following the script closely enough! Here's the bits relevant to the Canada revelation.
[mafiaboy] i know you're not a fed. you're with Recourse Technologies in sunny palo alto ... *icee* oh, did you listen to our radio stuff up there in Canada, too? [mafiaboy] you were on the radio too??? *icee* i think they're the only people i talked to who called it sunny palo alto
2600 cleverly plants the radio clue which crafty *icee* picks up on.

Unless you are reading a popular science magazine like Scientific American, reading journals is not the most efficient way to learn about a particular topic in science. Journal articles are used for efficient communication between experts and are generally neither informative nor interesting unless you have an extensive background in the relevant field.
You'll avoid a lot of confusion and frustration by reading the appropriate section of an undergraduate textbook first, and then reading journal articles only if you need more details.
A widely used, and not very heavy, neuroscience text is Essentials of Neural Science by Kandel, Schwartz and Jessell
