Triple variation in the vascular supply in the neck of a female donor body: a case report.

Purpose: Understanding the anatomical variations involving bifurcation of the common carotid artery, positioning of external and internal carotid arteries, and branching of the external carotid artery are of vital importance in neck surgeries such as carotid endarterectomies (CEA).

Methods: The neck of a 51-year-old female donor body was dissected to demonstrate the arterial network.

Results: Bifurcation of the common carotid artery occurred at the level of the C6-C7 intervertebral disc, significantly inferior to the generally accepted and taught anatomical location at the level of intervertebral disc between C3 and C4 vertebrae.

Dynamic visuomotor transformation involved with remote flying of a plane utilizes the 'Mirror Neuron' system.

Brain regions involved with processing dynamic visuomotor representational transformation are investigated using fMRI. The perceptual-motor task involved flying (or observing) a plane through a simulated Red Bull Air Race course in first person and third person chase perspective. The third person perspective is akin to remote operation of a vehicle.

Premotor cortex mediates perceptual performance.

Articulatory goals have long been proposed to mediate perception. Examples include direct realist and constructivist (analysis by synthesis) theories of speech perception. Although the activity in brain regions involved with action production has been shown to be present during action observation (Mirror Neuron System), the relationship of this activity to perceptual performance has not been clearly demonstrated at the event level.
