Professor Diamond continues her discussion of the nervous system and begins by revisiting her discussion of the ascending path. She notes the presence of substantia gelatinosa in the area of the second neuron and describes the concept of homunculus, which is the upside-down representation of the body in the brain, and notes that this does not occur in the face for reasons unknown to neurologists. Professor Diamond then begins describing...more

In addition some structures provide...more
