Homunculus, 4. Teil - Die Rache des Homunculus (Otto Rippert, 1917)

In the fourth installment of the #Homunculus saga, the artificial man callously heads the nation's financial powerhouse while secretly goading the workers in revolt against the ruling class. Soulless and unable to love, he aims for the annihilation of mankind.

Homunculus - volume 1
#manga #homunculus

Dois quadros do manga "homunculus".

Primeiro quadro: vários prédios enormes e chiques e nos balões de diálogo: "é como aquela coisa ali! Foram trabalhadores como nós que construíram aquela porcaria! Com as nossas próprias mãos!" "E assim que fica pronto eles jogam agente fora como trapos e nos tratam como vagabundos bundões! O que esse país se tornou?!"

Segundo quadro: uma mesa de madeira com uma frigideira, pratos e copos sujos de comida e um balão de dialogo: "vô te dizer, hoje em dia não tem uma alma honesta no nosso governo"

Monsters in stories have rules. (Real-world monstrous humans may not.) I'm working out how my fictional homunculi are going to work. A public post.

Um salafrário, abençoado e idolatrado por poderes públicos e privados e seus penduricalhos, não deixa de ser um salafrário mesmo depois de ter deixado de parasitar o planeta ao fim de cem anos. #25deabril1974 #homúnculus #coupdetat #wardogs

Ok... im Confused. Please send help.
Im currently reading the #Homunculus #manga.The Omnibus Release though Bookwalker.
Since i didnt see any chapter marks in the volume i crosschecked with a scanlations. result: Omnibus Release 1. is chapter 1-4. Is that right? i think i have some odd error in this, becuase said scanlation "fin" after 43 chapters. anylist say 166 chapters...

LUST!! The token Big Boobies Anime Girl of FMA :) I honestly really like her - esp with re-watching '03 I gain an appreciation for her.

[Image shows a page from my sketchbook landscape with a sketch on it. The sketch is of the Fullmetal Alchemist character Lust, looking at you with one hand to the foreground showing off her knife-fingers. She has her head tilted slightly upwards and is looking at you with a little smirk. She has dark, wavy hair framing her face with asymmetrical curtain bangs and is wearing a very low-cut dress and shoulder-reaching gloves. An Ouroboros tattoo is visible just beneath her collarbone.]

"we find that the classic homunculus is interrupted by regions with distinct connectivity, structure and function, alternating with effector-specific (foot, hand and mouth) areas." This suggests "that M1 is punctuated by a system for whole-body action planning. two parallel systems intertwine, forming integrate–isolate effector-specific regions for isolating fine motor control and a system for integrating goals, physiology & body movement."

"The insight that might be helpful is this: We don't have a little person inside of us. None of us do."

How Our Team Overturned the 90-Year-Old Metaphor of a 'Little Man' in the Brain Who Controls Movement - Scientific American

In my first neuroscience course at Columbia University, I learned about the #homunculus. This “little man” is depicted as an upside-down representation of the human body moving from toe to head in a portion of the cerebral cortex that controls movement. Wilder Penfield, the trailblazing Canadian-American neurosurgeon, created the homunculus metaphor after mapping areas of the human brain by using direct electrical stimulation in awake patients in the 1930s.

From this work, a nurse working with Penfield created one of science’s most iconic illustrations. It shows the homunculus stretched out over the brain’s surface, a small body with enlarged mouth, hands and feet, each part exaggerated in proportion to the amount of neural real estate occupied.

A point that I think is frequently missed in the discussion surrounding the new homunculus paper (doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-059) is that even Penfield himself said not to take his homunculus literally! And in fact we've known for quite some time that M1 in primates and rodents doesn't map solely to single parts of the body, but instead maps to actions too. See this great review from 2016 - doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2015.10

a, Penfield’s classical homunculus (adapted from ref. 2), depicting a continuous map of the body in primary motor cortex. b, In the integrate–isolate model of M1 organization, effector-specific—foot (green), hand (cyan) and mouth (orange)—functional zones are represented by concentric rings with proximal body parts surrounding the relatively more isolatable distal ones (toes, fingers and tongue). Inter-effector regions (maroon) sit at the intersecting points of these fields, forming part of a somato-cognitive action network for integrative, allostatic whole-body control. As with Penfield’s original drawing, this diagram is intended to illustrate organizational principles, and must not be over-interpreted as a precise map.

A classic, updated: Penfield's homunculus revisited. The authors propose an interrupted homunculus, as an integrate–isolate model of action and motor control.

Let's hope it passes the test of time, because Penfield used electrodes, whereas this new work is with #fMRI.

On the left, Penfield's homunculus showing a mostly continuous map of body regions over the medio-lateral axis of the motor cortex. On the right, the newly proposed integrate-isolate model, where regions for the face, arms and legs are separated by so-called action/body coordination regions.
