Pathoclise
As Pathoklise (Greek .: pathological , Disease and égklisis , Into Self ') to the disposition of certain parts of an organ referred to specific diseases.
The theory of the pathoclise was formulated by Cecilie and Oskar Vogt at the beginning of the 20th century. It says that different brain regions react differently to certain damage, such as a lack of oxygen.
The cerebral and cerebellar cortex, striatum , thalamus , ammonium horn and the olive of the medulla oblongata are particularly sensitive. C. and O. Vogt designed several models of pathoclasia for the brain regions, depending on the type of damage. The model has recently been discussed again in the context of the near-death experience .
