Big Brain Editing
The Anatomy of Big Brain Editing >> Speaking of Big Brains...
 
  Who [superior genu]: Add an 'i' and an 's' and you've got the definition of a BigBrainEditor—a superior genius! The superior genu is the forward-directed concavity of the central sulcus, otherwise known as the fissure of Rolando.

What [prosencephalon]: We wrap our brains around your prose to make it as sharp and appealing as possible. The prosencephalon is informally known as the forebrain.

The superior colliculus (copyediting) and pulvinar (proofreading) are critical to the processing of visual stimuli. BigBrainEditors undoubtedly have very large and active specimens. These brain bits are located on the posterior end of the optic thalamus.

When [hypothalamus]: Just as a healthy hypothalamus regulates everything from body temperature to hunger pangs, your BigBrainEditor regulates every aspect of your company's communications. The hypothalamus is the size of a pea and is located at the base of your brain—two facts that present no satisfactory analogies to our editors.

Where [corpus callosum]: The bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain, shuttling vital information from one to the other, necessary for full comprehension. Big Brain Editing works on your text to create the critical bridge between your company and your audience.

How [splenium]: The splenium is named for its resemblance to the spleen. Similarly, for most people, checking each of these eight critical areas of text editing brings to mind the concept of the spleen as the source of resentment, anger, and annoyance. So hand your projects off to us! In the brain, the splenium is the posterior end of the corpus callosum.

Why [corona radiata]: The white nerve fibers of the brain's internal capsule form a beautiful radiating pattern, the corona radiata. Why not enhance your radiant crown with superior proofreading and copyediting?
