Anatomy

Spanish neuroanatomist Santiago Ramon y Cajal, who's widely considered the father of modern neuroscience, applied this Golgi stain, which yields data which looks like this, and really gave us the modern notion of the nerve cell, the neuron.

I don't want to say a five year old should be allowed to consent to sex or consent to marry.

And I memorized everything.

I am Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor intellectual, neuroanatomist.

Since you seem to know so much about anatomy, Ms...

Palpate the radial styloid Lister's tubercle the anatomic snuff box the scapholunate junction,

When we are in medical school, we learn our anatomy from illustrations such as this where everything's color coded.

So with this Anatomage Table, students can experience the dissection without a human cadaver.

You're going to do that autopsy?

Now, this was made from a life cast of Brad.

Between, say, a Cromagnon and us.

That is, I'm not a clinician,

Twenty years ago,

Next palpate anatomic landmarks.

I'm a neuroscientist.

They are traced just by their known anatomical path along vasculature.

I had a college adviser tell me, when I went to the college and said,

(Laughter)

I dissected a frog once.

As the one hat, I do history of anatomy.

Three degrees

Neurolinguistic programming.

Neurobiologist.

But the U.S., the Carnegie Institute,

It's a woman. You can see the hair.

I can't do this autopsy.

You need to do the autopsy.

Is there any obvious anatomic difference between men and women to account for this dramatic difference in the incidence of Rheumatoid Arthritis, its higher incidence in women?

And I think it's no accident that we think this way.

And this is a person who is alive.

Here's a little video that should be going.

We haven't opened him up yet, but burn marks...

The autopsy will tell us. Excuse me.

We have this view of ourselves, of others.

With the patient prone complete testing of active range of motion with leg extension.

The computer was cracked open.

Well it's the last major undeciphered script in the ancient world.

And that's not to say

All of us have this remarkable brain, which is poorly understood, to say the least.

And it's not based on theology or philosophy, it's in the study of the mind, across all these spheres of research, from neuroscience to the cognitive scientists, behavioral economists, psychologists, sociology, we're developing a revolution in consciousness.

So this is where experts come in and they make basic anatomic assignments.

Next palpate landmarks the thenar eminence, the scaphoid tubercle, the hypothenar eminence,

No. Well, yes. Well, in, in a manner of speaking.

And let's explore this notion of simplicity.
