In the year 1998 a patient was taken into a brain surgeon. It was said that this man had a brain tumor. During the surgery the doctor noticed a computer chip. So he thought, wedged into the top of the cerebrum towards the back of the head. He decided that this chip was the cause of some difficulties they had x-raying the patients brain and decided to pull it out. He grabbed some utensils that he could use to remove it. Just as he was pulling out this chip, the patient lost all vital signs and died.

It could have been a coincidence or it could be that the surgeon had just gotten into a mess that he shouldn't have been involved in. Well that surgeon was me.

Since I know that someone will have something to correct or to say, feel free to post after this. I will either just post this again when I have received some comments or just continue. Thanks!

Why is this in art showcase? If it's a story then I don't mind it staying here, but if it is random crap no one cares about it belongs in Junkyardia. I'll let you reply before I move it.

It is a story. I just have some research to do before I get going with the story. Actually I don't know why I said that stuff in the spoiler? Any way I have to look into stuff that most young teenager(like me!) haven't heard of or looked deeper into. Stuff like cryogenics, horology, gravity(which is something I know I just have to look deeper), gravitational field, time and space, ect. ect., stuff like that. So you won't have to have a huge long post of corrections for me. XP So I will keep on posting on this story, but it might be a while before it really gets going. Thanks for waiting! XD

I was trying to say that he thought that there was a computer chip wedged into the back of his head when it really wasn't and that maybe this computer chip had some kind of residue or maybe just made of some kind of element that was reflecting the x-ray or something. Oh, and I spelled brain wrong.

Come to think of it, I think you misunderstand the word cerebrum. Cerebrum is simply a fancy name for your forebrain, so when you say the 'back of the cerebrum' it kind of doesn't make sense because of the structure of the brain that has been found to affect many things to do with personality and consciousness. The cerebrum starts at the forebrain and curls over the midbrain, ending around the brain stem. Either the chip is lodged where it can't be seen because of the way the brain is structured, i.e. the back as in 'underneath' or toward the midbrain (if you were operating from the top of the head) or the chip is lodged at the edge of the cerebrum that is toward the back near the brainstem, if operating from the face, which obviously people don't do, and that can't be seen anyway from that position.

Just by the way you said, back of the head I would assume you mean, toward the brainstem, which unless you were operating near that region, would not be visible. Not entirely sure that people operate in that region in the first place, considering the sensitivity of the region (usually if you get a tumour in your brain stem there isn't much they can do for you, it's pretty fatal, or any kind of damage there for that matter). But then if you were operating there, 'back' would not be the word you used. To avoid confusion you should use the posterior end of the cerebrum, which basically means toward the brainstem. It would mean you could still see the chip from the top view because posterior is always the same, and posteriorly from the view from the top it would be the equivalent of 'back' if you were looking from the face. It also assumes visibility of the chip as being in the cerebrum, toward the brainstem, but not at the brainstem, or the edge of the cerebrum. 'Back' usually means 'relative to the front', so when you are looking at something from above, and you say 'back' it means behind the front, which would be underneath if looking fromt the top. It gets confusing, and it's why we have terminology for directions when we describe things like the brain. I probably just confused everyone who is reading this, but it makes sense to me, lol.

If it was at the brainstem, no wonder tampering with the chip caused him to lose his vital signs and die lol. That part is so sensitive beyond belief, and any brain surgeon would know that area is a no-go. The brain stem contains the cerebellum, which means 'little brain' and is responsible for all automatic things that keep you alive, like breathing and circulation via the heart. Not to mention the medulla and the pons, responsible for consciousness, in the sense of being awake. Damage here results in concussions, and worst case scenarios, coma and death. There is no way that a brain surgeon would suddenly decide that pulling stuff out of the brain in this area would be a good idea, whether they thought it belonged there or not. Sorry, just pointing out the logical fallacies. I do this in movies as well, like X-Men Wolverine, when he SPOILER ALERT gets shot in the head with an adamantium bullet and loses his memory I was like wut, how does that even work. Firstly because working memory is all throughout the brain, secondly memory is made by neuron connections in the brain, and hypothetically if he can regenerate his brain, which he would have to be able to to stay alive after being shot in the head, all the neuron connections should regenerate as well. The only reason I can think for this not happening, is if the regeneration just regenerated to default settings so to speak, but that still doesn't work because that would mean almost everything he had learned over his life would also disappear, and it doesn't. So yea, Wolverine should have either been reduced the status of baby, or had a memory of everything. Not just keep everything except for his memory. Unless he just has retrograde amnesia, which is possible

I'm probably getting all technical and stuff but my field is neuropsychology which is the brain basically, and how it affects the 'mind'. I think people get confused about using the cerebrum and the brain interchangeably, when in fact the cerebrum is a part of the brain, not the brain itself, even if it makes up a majority of the human brain. Maybe instead of looking into the space time continuum, you should research the terminology of the brain first if you're going to write a story involving it. I can help you out there if you want.

It actually did make sense until the X-men Wolverine thing, I didn't get that.XD Thanks I will change that and try to think about my words a little bit more. Thanks again!
