1ero, entendamos los reflejos.
Evolutivamente ha sido necesario que existan respuestas motoras no mediadas por el cerebro, es decir, integradas en la médula espinal. Muchas respuestas de retiro (que permiten la supervivencia) solo requieren unas cuantas neuronas.
Definamos REFLEJO como una:
📋Respuesta motora.
📋Involuntaria.
📋Estereotípica (es decir, siempre igual).

About me: I’m 31, born & raised in NYC...which means I learned how to drive at 26, I have a GoogleDoc of celeb sightings, & I run into people everywhere, including @ work.

TBH I don’t think I could have gotten thru #premed as an undergrad and I loved my time at Columbia.

In full transparency, @AaronLBerkowitz told me (via Twitter) about his recently published book. And because:

1. I like books.
2. I believe #supportisaverb
3. It was on Audible.

I immediately used my November @audible_com credit and gave it a try.

Yup.
3/
I’ll admit—I’m a fan of @AaronLBerkowitz’ Neuro textbook. But I had no idea what to expect out of THIS particular book.

I mean, even with reviews from everyone from Dr. Paul Farmer himself to @drsanjaygupta, the book nerd in me was skeptical.
