Last review of Neuroanatomy!!

I never thought I could get to this point, understanding almost everything of this system. When I first started studying I felt helpless and really ignorant, but finally I'm starting to connect the dots 🥹💕

Some neuroanatomy

Me when I should have been studying

(I did though- ehm very little-)

i went to a Brain institute earlier this year. and, what i realized, is that my clumsy ass could never be a brain surgeon

like,

its one thing identifying brain bits from pictures. have you any idea how small hypothalamus is. dont get me started on pituitary/hypophysis. i would mess it up, major way. additionally, hypothalamus also has several nuclei, and pituitary has 2 hemispheres

and keep in mind that those 2 things control most of the hormones in ur body, mostly indirectly, via other glands and axés. the funny thing is, theyre just doing it by releasing different kinds of "hormone-releasing hormones"

a marvel of engineering

Dr Karen Norberg a psychiatrist from the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, spent an entire year knitting an incredible, anatomically correct replica of the human brain.

The 9-inch textile sculpture comprises different sections hand-knitted from colourful cotton yarn that were then stitched together into the labyrinthine structure. The frontal cortex is represented in cream and pale green; the visual cortex is depicted in a mix of blue, purple and turquoise; and the hippocampus is made up of baby pink yarn. The two sides of the brain are joined together by a zip, while the cerebellum at the base of the organ is knitted in blue and the spinal cord appears as long white strands of cotton.
