 | | The anatomical position is a schematic convention for describing the relative morphology of the human body. | | | It should be noted that this is not the normal position for the arms, which in a relaxed subject would be rotated more or less medially (with the palms of the hands facing the body). | | | The body in anatomical position may be divided conceptually by planes. |

| | Freeman-Waves, Pulses, and the Theory of Neural Masses |
| | In terms of its accessibility to observation with a microelectrode, it is a pulse function-that is, a set of near-random pulse trains with some coherence in terms of mean firing rate in relation to an afferent stimulus. | | | But when the term "function" contained reference to the mechanism of reflex operations (Sherrington, 1925, 1929) and animal behavior (Hebb, 1949) or even to the physiological operations of multineuronal parts of the nervous system (Lorente de Nó, 1938), there were difficulties. | | | It is true that experimenters devise probability distributions, topographic maps, homunculi, and other continuous patterns to describe the most probable locations of neurons in arrays triggered by or associated with certain classes of stimulus or response, but these are based on past experience and on anatomical analysis, not on the theory. |

| | The anterior fontanelle is located at the junction of the frontal and parietal bones; it is a "soft spot" on a baby's forehead. | | | However, this bit of knowledge is rarely discussed in public because of the need to avoid encouraging pseudoscientific theories like phrenology which attempt to connect skull shape to intelligence. | | | Careful observation will show that you can count a baby's heartrate by observing his or her pulse pulsing softly through the anterior fontanelle. |
