Neuroscience in Mortal Kombat 9!!!!!!

A friend of mine told me that the new Mortal Kombat 9 video game came out today. (If you don't know what Mortal Kombat is, I don't think you and I can ever be friends... seriously). I went to youtube to watch some of the fatalities AND...... Oh my gosh, neuroscience makes a cameo in one of them!!!!! Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

Classic example of an upper motor neuron lesion with unilateral right-sided decorticate and unilateral left-sided decerebrate position. Awesome.

Go to this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSJ9SiwohUs and watch from 15:00 minutes in.

If you don't already know what a Mortal Kombat Fatality is, chances are you should not click on the link. Sorry, old-people.
