September 8, 1504– Michelangelo's David is unveiled in Piazza della Signoria in Florence.
French neurologist Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne de Boulogne (1806–1875) presented his observations of a characteristic childhood muscular paralysis.
| 1868: Duchenne published a more detailed description, including the characteristic progressive muscle wasting, difficulty walking, and calf enlargement. The condition subsequently became known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Current Events Snapshot |

Geniculate comes from the Latin geniculatus, meaning “knee-shaped” or “bent like a knee.”
The lateral geniculate body has a curved/elongated appearance on the posterolateral thalamus.
The lateral geniculate body (also called the lateral geniculate nucleus or LGN) is a key relay station in the thalamus that processes and transfers visual information from the retina to the primary visual cortex.
The classical pathway is:
Retina → optic nerve → optic chiasm → optic tract → LGB → optic radiation → primary visual cortex (V1)
A particularly important discovery was that the LGB maintains an organized representation of the visual field.
The human LGB contains six principal layers:
Comet tail bacterial motility, clinically known as actin-based motility (ABM), is a mechanism where certain intracellular bacterial pathogens hijack a host cell's cytoskeleton to move.
Instead of using their own flagella, these bacteria force host cell actin proteins to polymerize rapidly at one end of the bacterial surface.
This rapid assembly generates a physical pushing force that propels the bacterium forward, leaving behind a dense, tail-like network of filaments resembling a "comet tail" or "actin rocket".
