You... just sort of do.

If you look at numbers printed in gray, and somehow the color seems "wrong", you've got it. It can manifest in a bunch of ways though.

FAS is associated with microcephaly. Smooth one.

>>1691260
also a few words have a picture associated with them that has absolutely nothing to do with the word, in some cases the picture is whatever I was looking at the instant I first heard the word.

>>1691252
Mostly numbers seem to have a color, for example four is yellow and eight is black. Sound also has a bit of a texture.

Benign macrocephaly?

Again not a disease per se, but a condition.

Oh I lawl'd hard. The sheldon guy does actually look a bit like me, JIM PARSONS ON STEROIDS.

Also sage for only tangentially related to science

I would not call Synesthesia a disease.

I've actually got it, mine's quite faint though.

It would depend on the local laws... it sure wouldn't make anyone very happy.

Only problem is they might not have been able to use it, given how it was ripped out, and also came from an unknown source.

I think the spinal cord is only responsible for very basic motion, reflexes mostly. It's much more of an "ethernet cable" than a "computer"

>>1690810
It's actually from the cerebellum, not the spinal cord.

The video is not for those with a weak stomach. Seriously, it's of a freshly dead bicyclist face down on the road covered in blood, with his intestines and liver hanging out, and his heart a full two meters away chugging on like nothing happened.

>>1690779
Yep

First time I've actually browsed it, just seen a few clips in the past. Frankly it doesn't live up to the name, but it's still awfully fascinating.

I was hoping some of their beheading videos would illustrate the experiment with Languille, but all the beheadings were carried out too slowly to make any real sense of whether the head was conscious after it was severed.

Wow, I just ran across a fairly amazing video. A man was disemboweled in some form of road accident, and his aorta completely dissected, leaving his heart six feet from his body. The video shows it still beating.

I've seen a video of this for heart excision from a beating heart cadaver before, but this is the first time I've seen it for trauma. It's pretty damn amazing, I've heard transplant hearts have sometimes managed to "jump" out of the surgeons' hands and creep along the floor, beating for several minutes.

I don't think your expecting this to be easy to stomach, but here it is in all its fascinating gory glory:

Discuss.

Community colleges are shit because the credits usually don't transfer.

This message brought to you by someone who was given a full scholarship to a CC and turned it down because the credits wouldn't go anywhere except the (at the time) unranked (in my major) state university.

Damn, sounds like it. Probably had a lot of occlusion of borh carotids, and finally some plaque cut off the bit of circulation he had.

>>1689803
Not afaik.

>>1689797
Ischemic stroke from two occluded carotids?

>>1689792
Oh c'mon. He was so fucking dense he couldn't make a proper bomb. I was blowing shit up in my back yard with a higher success rate as a high school freshman with AP chem under my belt.

I think so long as the walls remain pliable, your not in danger of your arteries bursting. The problem is when they harden.

And they can be endarterectomized if enough plaque builds up

I still want autopsy pics and a better description of the final moments of his life.

If you exercise enough, your arteries will remain pliable and expand to allow more blood flow despite plaque buildup.

I heard the way it went down was they had him on security camera, communications broke down and they noticed he was taking his gun out, had a sniper with a clear shot, and fired a single shot at him as he was aiming his pistol at one of the hostages. One of his explosive devices then smoked and all the hostages ran out, he was taken away in an ambulance and was pronounced dead either on route to or shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Or the ambulance was for publicity sake, and he was pronounced dead on the scene and taken directly to the coroner's office, I'm not sure on this last detail.

He deaded.

I'm itching for autopsy pics, but I'm afraid the MoCo coroner won't release them. I'm starting to wonder if he did sustain a brainshot, they're now saying a swat sniper got him. The odd thing is they took him away in an ambulance and not a medical examiners van, indicating that immediately after he was shot they still considered him viable, which they generally wouldn't after a brainshot from a sniper rifle.

Possibly they didn't hit his head? Or maybe they took the body away in the ambulance just for publicity sake?
