:06:01
who dug up freshly buried corpses
and transformed dead components into...
:06:06
Yes, yes.
:06:08
Yes.
:06:09
We all know what he did.
:06:12
But I'd rather be remembered
for my own small contributions to science
:06:17
and not because of my accidental
relationship
:06:21
to a famous... cuckoo.
:06:28
Now, if you don't mind,
can we have your question?
:06:31
Well, sir, I'm not sure
I understand the distinction between
:06:34
reflexive and voluntary nerve impulses.
:06:37
Good. Since our lab work today
is a demonstration of just that distinction,
:06:41
why don't we proceed?
:06:52
Mr Hilltop here,
with whom I have never worked
:06:56
or given any prior instructions to,
:06:58
has graciously offered his services
for today's demonstration.
:07:03
Mr Hilltop, would you hop up on your feet
and stand beside this table?
:07:17
Nice hopping.
:07:21
Mr Hilltop,
:07:23
would you raise your left knee, please?
:07:30
You have just witnessed
a voluntary nerve impulse.
:07:34
It begins as a stimulus
from the cerebral cortex,
:07:37
passes through the brainstem
and to the muscles involved.
:07:40
Mr Hilltop, you may lower your knee.
:07:43
Reflex movements are those
which are made independently of the will,
:07:48
but are carried out along pathways
:07:50
which pass between the peripheral nervous
system and the central nervous system.
:07:54
You filthy, rotten, yellow son of a bitch.
:07:58
We are not aware of these impulses.
