Ducks and geese are force-fed corn mash twice a day, through a tube that is inserted into the oesophagus.

The well-preserved skeleton was found in an Inca cemetary located in a suburb of Lima. The skull contains two holes, one at the front, and the other at the back.

This leads to a mingling of the senses: for example, sounds may elicit perceptions of colour in a synaesthete who has increased connectivity between the brain&#8217;s visual and auditory pathways.

There was a fantastic response to my illustrated history of trepanation, including an amusing post at Table of Malcontents, and this painting via Bioephemera, which depicts an instrument that&#8217;s very similar to the transverse handle brace trepan described by Ambroise Paré in the late sixteenth century.
