INSTRUCTIONS
Having stayed up late last night studying for your upcoming Neuroanatomy exam,
you slept fitfully, and awake none too refreshed. At the foot of your bed you
find a shrouded figure, wizened and gray, speaking to you with a distinct Old
French accent. "Bonjour. Je m' appelle Rene Descartes. O! Pardonez-moi!
Hello, Forgive me. I am Rene Descartes," the figure says. "For years I have
pondered the mysteries of the Mind-Brain problem, and I am now convinced that
the only way to solve this philosophical impasse is to enter the brain itself
and have a look around. A mechanism by which this is possible has occurred to
me, but I myself am too old and frail for such a trying journey. You,
however, a promising student of Neuroanatomy, and far younger than I, are
ideal for the adventure."
Convinced that Descartes is nothing more than an after effect of the pepperoni
pizza that saw you through your long hours of study last night, you head for
the shower. Descartes awaits you there, beckoning from the steamy stall, and
you join him.
"LISTEN CLOSELY AND REMEMBER MY WORDS!" he booms through the hot spray of
water. "I am giving you two pills. Take one now, and you will be safe from
the phagocytes and white blood cells of the immune system during your journey
through the blood supply to the brain. Be sure to swallow the other one
before leaving the brain to journey back to the heart, where I can rescue you.
REMEMBER... If you enter your bloodstream without having first taken the pill,
you will surely not survive!"
Concerned now that a figment of your imagination is soaping your back, you
turn to confront Descartes. His gaze pierces you, and he continues. "Once you
reach the brain you will be safe from most physical harm, as long as you
remain there. You will undoubtedly be confronted with problems of many kinds.
In every case, your knowledge of Neuroanatomy and your uncommon good sense
will provide a solution. Persevere! No problem is insurmountable."
You realize now that he is serious, and figment or not, you may well soon find
yourself on your way to your own brain! You begin to pay closer attention to
what Descartes has to say.
"You can move in any of the six anatomical directions:
ROSTRAL: toward the head
CAUDAL: toward the tail
MEDIAL: toward the midline
LATERAL: toward the side
DORSAL: toward the top, or back
and VENTRAL: toward the bottom, or stomach
"Indicate your intentions with phrases, such as ROSTRAL, GET DENDRITE, or DROP
MYELIN. (Movement commands can be abbreviated by typing only the first two
letters of the direction in which you wish to move, i.e., RO for ROSTRAL,
etc.)
If you need to be reminded, just ask for INFO.
Several other commands might prove useful:
INVENTORY: Show what you are carrying
LOOK: Shows a description of current location
SCORE: Indicate your current score
SAVE: Save the current game on disk
RESTORE: Restore the last saved game from disk
and QUIT: Leave the current game
Through a process that you could never hope to understand, Descartes has
reduced you to a very small size, and is about to place you in your own
carotid artery for the journey to the brain. "To gain the most knowledge from
this adventure, enter every area of the brain that you can. Find the
treasures of the brain, and bring them back to me. Solve the problems that
confront you. And be absolutely certain that you bring back some growth
hormone, for without it I am powerless to return you to your normal size, and
you will remain miniscule forever."
"The anti-immune system pill has taken effect," Descartes assures you, as he
injects you into your carotid artery, "so you wll be safe from the phagocytes.
Enjoy this journey, and learn much from it!"
Still reeling with excitement, you ponder your situation. You are now in your
own carotid artery, coursing toward your brain! You feel the surge of each
heart beat as you are driven closer to your encounter with the very essence of
yourself.
Neuroanatomical terms occupy your thoughts during this, the most exciting
journey of your life....
Rostral, Caudal, Ventral, Dorsal, Lateral, Medial!
If only you had paid more attention during that Neuro lecture!
The blood flows rapidly. You pass through the circle of Willis and find
yourself... Yes! in the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle!
With some of the blood plasma, you leave the choroid plexus and enter the
lateral ventricle itself.
END_INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Having wolfed down a pepperoni pizza and a pitcher of beer earlier in the
evening, you are sleeping very fitfully. You thrash the pillow and turn over
and turn over again in the bed. The sheets are wadded around you like ropes.
Your mind is filled with strange dreams....

END_NOUN
NOUN_DESCR [DA]
The striatum has remarkably high concentration of a number of
neurotransmitters, including dopamine. Tracts carrying impulses from the
substantia nigra to the caudate and putamen store dopamine in their terminals.
This represents the most important source of dopamine in the striatum.
Failure of dopamine synthesis in the substantia nigra results in progressive
depletion of this critical neurotransmitter in the caudate and putamen, with a
consequent develoment of Parkinson's disease. The characteristic signs of
this crippling illness (tremor at rest, muscle rigidity, and abnormal gait)
are to some extent reversible upon adminstration of the dopamine precursor,
L-dopa.
