والله وكت، قبل سنة جنت كلشي ماعرف عن الـ neuro anatomy... هسة داشمّر midbrain regions عالعالم
Oath of the Horatii,
By Jacques-Louis David
So the abolition of the slave trade, rather than making slavery in Africa wither away, simply led to a redeployment of the slaves, who were now used within Africa rather than in the Americas.

What is a poet?

An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.... And people flock around the poet and say: 'Sing again soon' - that is, 'May new sufferings torment your soul but your lips be fashioned as before, for the cry would only frighten us, but the music, that is blissful.
- Soren Kierkegaard
Neuroanatomists categorize themselves into “clumpers” and “splitters” based on how they like to organize the brain. Clumpers prefer to simplify the brain into as few sections as possible, while splitters divide the brain into thousands of pieces, all with their own Latin or Greek names. To make things even more confusing, splitters like to throw into the mix the name of the scientist who first described that brain area, so we end up with names like “Zuckerkandl’s fasciculus,” “the ventral tegmental relay zone of Giolli,” and the “nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis of Bechterew.” This is one of the reasons medical students are terrified of their first course in neuroscience.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) at C4
SCIs this high in the spinal cord usually lead to a neurogenic shock, which means that the sympathetic tone is either low or absent, while the parasympathetic tone is active. This causes systemic hypotension, bradycardia, hypoxia, and subsequently shock.
And obviously tetraplegia (شلل رباعي)

When these brain areas, their connections, chemistry, and circuitry, are considered together for any adaptive behavior, for example an infant expressing fear at the sight of a stranger, the complexity of the brain’s wiring can start to get out of hand. For clinical sciences the representation of the relevant wiring of the brain can quickly send one packing to the nearest pub for a cold one. For example, here is a “simplified” version of the brain circuitry involved in depression. Don’t let this figure put you off. Everyone, including neuroscientists, hates these kinds of figures of the brain, but the brain is extraordinarily complex, so we have to deal with these Jackson Pollock monstrosities from time to time.
