The older floor
A read of this page, with the plate.


Basal ganglia start and trim a move — dopamine as a name; Parkinson’s belongs with a physician. Hypothalamus turns feeling into hormone — Course 17 named the stalk. Pituitary releases so other glands work — a tumor belongs with a physician. Cerebellum guides where the body is. Reticular is waking; damage here is coma — you stop. Pons is the bridge, CO₂, the face, the eyes across a page; milk as a named door on the scan. Medulla as the long center: bite, swallow, the wanderer, the choice of quiet or rush.
Her voice, from the class.
The older floor — hypothalamus switchboard and pituitary
The older floor — reptilian brainstem, midbrain relay
The older floor — medulla oblongata, vagus, reticular, melatonin note
The older floor — pons bridge, CO2, face expression
Practice
Point snails, stalk, pea, little, waking, bridge. If the room is a coma or a tremor, you leave.

The card that opens:
- Germanium proline / GABA / mineralization
- Tyrosine or milk — no sugar or joint on this floor ✓
- Chromium sugar
That's the work.
Basal ganglia:
- The bath
- Starts and trims a move — dopamine as a name ✓
- Sugar feeling
That's the work.
Hypothalamus:
- A dose you write
- Feelings become hormone ✓
- Germanium joint
That's the work.
Pituitary:
- The little brain
- Releases so other glands work ✓
- Sugar
That's the work.
Cerebellum on the older floor:
- Sugar feeling
- Proprioception, precision ✓
- OA
That's the work.
Reticular:
- A dose of awake
- Where waking sits — damage here is coma ✓
- Germanium
That's the work.
Pons:
- The sorter
- The bridge — CO₂ as a sensor, milk as a named door on the scan ✓
- Sugar
That's the work.
Chromium’s sugar feeling under all six:
- Stays
- Dropped — no sugar on this floor ✓
- The pea
That's the work.
Parkinson’s on basal ganglia:
- You prescribe dopamine
- A physician ✓
- Sugar
That's the work.
A tumor on the pea:
- You prescribe germanium
- A physician ✓
- OA
That's the work.
