That theory does not account for the red neurons, and the motion was denied.
FORBES: Will Luck Grant Novelist Michael Peterson a New Murder Trial?
Inside the brain of Kathleen Peterson, a forensic neurologist discovered the presence of red neurons.

The drug is a protein that has been linked to promoting survival and growth of neurons.
As they position the electrodes, the doctors are able to monitor the sound of neurons firing.
They needed a long-lived tissue to compare neurons to, and decided on tooth enamel.
Even as the model grows, taking up more neurons, it becomes clearer and more useful.
It is based on a chemical in the brain that prevents injured neurons from dying.
It remains inside the neurons for months, pumping out large quantities of the protective proteins.
The virus, injected into the chest and limb muscles, is soaked up by motor neurons.
Studying the neurons in the gut also may also help shed light on Parkinson's disease.
Or maybe a small complex of neurons that represent a flag that says, needs work.
Octopuses have hundreds of suckers, each one equipped with its own ganglion with thousands of neurons.
Recent work has shown that, given intellectual stimulation, new neurons will grow in adults' brains.
Protective effect of Toki-shakuyaku-san on amyloid beta25-35-induced neuronal damage in cultured rat cortical neurons.
This signal is caused by millions of neurons firing together in a synchronised fashion.
The gene codes for a nourishing protein that is essential for the survival of motor neurons.
And, once bursting is suppressed this way, the neurons revert rapidly to normal behaviour.
"We gave it a try in neurons and it worked the first time, " said Dr. Boyden.
WSJ: Scientists Cast Light Onto Roots of Illness Deep in the Brain
The absence of relevant mirror neurons, he suggests, means the absence of theory of mind.
The first mirror neurons discovered (in the brains of monkeys) were concerned with predicting movement.
When this connection is sheared, serious brain damage can result because the neurons can no longer communicate.
In the brain, neurons work together over synapses to recognize a pattern and make the closest match.
It could recognize "practice" movements and deliver stimulation to associated neurons to help your brain learn faster.
Novartis competitor Biogen Idec is plying a slightly different approach that could have broader effects on neurons.
Serotonin and other neurotransmitters produced by gut neurons help the digestive track push food through the gut.
Neurogenesis is a wonderful word that means our brains continue to grow new neurons throughout our lifetimes.
FORBES: The Top 10 Brain Science and Psychology Stories of 2012
Potentiation of brain acetylcholine neurons by Kami-Untan-To (KUT) in aged mice: implications for a possible antidementia drug.
The pinlike electrodes, which protrude into the brain's gray matter, picked up signals from the neurons nearby.
But Shen argues that presenilin may have important functions in nourishing neurons that are disrupted in Alzheimer's.
It was thought, for example, that the loss of neurons led to forgetfulness, culminating in Alzheimer's disease.
