This week I have been mainly travelling inside my brain, exploring thoughts and discovering ideas.
I started at the medulla, ambling my way up towards the pons. From here, there’s a very good view of the cerebellum although it’s best to get there early or finding a table outside is difficult.
I don’t suggest venturing into the cerebellum as the going is tough. Appropriate clothing is required such as outdoor performance wear and cargo pants. Although, if, like me, you can’t carry off cargo pants then don’t worry as the cerebellum regulates fear so you can ease your own apprehension.
’Tis then but a short hop to the temporal lobe. I found it a bit noisy as auditory perception occurs here but well worth it to visit the hippocampus, the use of which escapes me at the moment.
I then cantered my way through the occipital, parietal and frontal lobes. It was hard to see anything in the occipital as vision perception occurs here and I was in the way. I got lost in the parietal for obvious reasons, and was finally kicked out of the frontal for not having enough ambition.
Next week: voyage round my father.
You'll fin d this very interesting:

Before you pack your cargo pants full of weapons to fight the daddy demons, check out Louann Brizendine's two major works at Waterstone's.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bo (from Victoria perhaps?), the TED link is a good one, as they always are.
ReplyDeleteI was, of course, travelling around my right hemisphere...
As for Brizendine, I assume one of her works is a lot bigger than the other but I shall investigate further.
Two comments to improve my cerebrum, who would have thunk it?
