Application of neurobiology within martial arts:
You are currently reading a thread in /sci/ - Science & Math
ITT: We discuss the application of neurobiology in improving martial arts offensive and defensive capabilities.
My first topic is: Could you cause cardiac arrest by stimulating the vagus nerve, sending them into vasovagal syncope, whilst rapidly striking the cardiac muscle itself?

>Could you cause cardiac arrest by stimulating the vagus nerve
Yes, and it's nothing new. Some judÅ choking techniques do just that.
>>8174061
You can cause a heart attack by just punching someone in the chest at the right time.

Seems a bit like overkill, considering they're already probably entering syncope, which normally results in unconsciousness. Do you agree?

Alright, how about the efficacy of lumbar strikes for disabling the lower body?
we should make a map of the body with a color code of vulnerable spots, all geeks should know martial arts imo
>>8174144
I agree, it is also good for self-discipline.
>>8174061
Brachial plexus strikes for diabling the limb for a short while.
Any other additions?
Shameless deserved bump
Bump out of interest.
>>8174061
Femoral nerve and lateral cutaneous femoral nerve?
>>8174144

They're missing a few.
>>8174061
Bump for common interest.
