an excerpt from Christof Koch's interesting webpage:
# In the fall of 2005 the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London published a paper, entitled What is the Function of the Claustrum by Francis Crick and Christof Koch. The function of this mysterious neuronal structure, hidden beneath the inner surface of the neocortex, occupied his thoughts in the last months of his life. Indeed, he was dictating corrections to this manuscript on July 28. 2004, the day he died. This is a photograph taken by Kent Schnoeker of the Salk Institute of Francis's table the next day, covered with drafts of the claustrum manuscript and related papers:
