![]() ![]() In Parkinson patients the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra die off, preventing the striatum from properly doing its job and resulting in a loss of motor activity. Through the interaction between the striatum (also in the midbrain) and the substantia nigra allows for motor movements to occur. Part of what constitutes the basal ganglia is the Substania Nigra, which is divided into two parts the substantia nigra pars compacta, and the substantia nigra reticulata. The portion of the brain responsible for this anomaly is found in the midbrain and more specifically found in an area known as the basal ganglia. For the past 24 years the symptoms seemed to be at their worst, where she exhibited myoclonus- displaying jerky movements, akinetic- the loss of the normal ability to move muscles, Apathetic- no feelings of interest, concern or enthusiasm, and oculogyric- eyes rolling back. ![]() In this story, a 63-year-old woman has been living in an oculogyric-like trance suffering from post-encephalitic Parkinsonism since she was 18. ![]()

I defy any developer/programmer/system builder to read this book and not blitz through it lapping it up. Being at least some 11 years old that's a lot of time in the tech world. ![]() I was a little hesitant due to the year of release. I only read this book because it was quoted as a must read by Joel Spolsky on a stackexchange answer about how to go about learning programming (and finding out if you want/should be a programmer). ![]() ![]() The mission takes an immediate wrong turn when the First Emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack’s body and binds to Zack’s AR gaming headset instead, leading to a battle where Zack’s mom’s soul gets taken by demons. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open. His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths. ![]() ![]() Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage.

The Author's Note is the true gem of the book. An intimate look into the early years of an educational system our students now take for granted.
