In our teaching and in our autopsy reports, we neuropathologists often make reference to the transentorhinal cortex as it is -- in the Braak and Braak staging system -- the region where the earliest Alzheimer pathology appears. I have found it difficult to find a clear illustration of the anatomic location of the transentorhinal cortex in texts

Recent research published in Current Biology reports on proprioception. Subjects had to determine information regarding touch AND location. The posterior parietal cortex was the brain area responsible to determine touch AND location. When magnetic stimulation was used to impair the subject's parietal cortex, the perception of touch or location alone

differences in part of the cortex, an area
of the brain that helps process sensory information, including pain.
The
study found that part of the cortex area of the brain is thicker... in the brain... Most of these people had been suffering from
Migraines since childhood, so the long-term overstimulation of the
sensory fields in the cortex could explain these changes

brain is very widespread. So widespread that it will require removal of his whole left hemisphere. Minus his motorcortex. Although they do believe there are seizures originating within his motorcortex. In the past...they would remove it. And the child would have permanent motor function loss.

of theory: a left-right conflict in the brain, the amygdala is overactive, the motor coding doesnt work well, and so on. Actually, my favourite theory is that little demon (probably female) getting drunk on occasionally tripping on the pathways that deliver the go-speak signal to the motorcortex. It is very different nowadays: If you support a theory, you
