This feels just as likely to be the ramblings of a crazy person as an actual map of the human brain.
It’s real, but cobbled together from multiple sources. For instance we haven’t referred to the “reticular activating system” since maybe the 1980s? They call it the “reticular arousal system” which is either a neologism or maybe a reactivation of the term in the literature. I haven’t been active in the area in over a decade.
I’ll note that this broadly accurate on a macro level, but the details really matter. There are different cortical layers for instance and cell types and the nature of the signal processing differs by layer. So saying “X connects to Y” is useful in some sense, but provides much less information than you might imagine.
This is part of my actual area of expertise. They mis-labeled the locus coeruleus as being “stress”. Arousal would be more correct. They also missed Barrington’s Nucleus right next to it which controls micturition. Absolute trash.
This feels like a joke
This is a cool guide to a descent into schizophrenic paranoia. I am genuinely concerned for the mental health of whoever made this.
Thanks for making it completely unintelligible
Note: vastly undersells the complexity.
For example the neurotransmitters listed are by no means all of the transmitters. We’re still figuring out how many there are but the number is definitely more than 100.
