maybe this:

reticular nuclei nuclei found in the reticular formation of the brainstem, occurring primarily in longitudinal columns in three groups: medial or intermediate reticular nuclei, lateral reticular nuclei, and reticular nuclei of the raphe.

and in the mid brain area is the
formatio reticularis

just a couple of maybe could be LOL

Could it be red nucleus - see message

Could it be red nucleus


 


A little less clinical.  Depends on how precise and specific your dictators are.   


The midbrain is usually sectioned at the level of the superior and inferior colliculi.


A cross-section through the superior colliculus shows the red nucleus, the nuclei of the oculomotor nerve (and associated Edinger-Westphal nucleus), as well as the substantia nigra.

The red nucleus is a structure in the rostral midbrain involved in motor coordination. It comprises a caudal magnocellular and a rostral parvocellular part.

that one sounds good to me

The last pay cut they made to me was with ASR.  they did not touch my transcription rate YET, but I know I read on here someone was at the top of their level as to how much they could make and they went from 0.009 to 0.003.  It sounds like this was the transcription rate?  Did they actually cut some of the MTs base pay to more than half?  This just blows me away if they did this.  I have not been on here too much on a steady basis because I get even more d ...

Even if you are a newbie just starting out in transcription the absolute MINUMUM you should accept is $40 an a/h!  What CLK is offering to pay is equal to off-shore wages.  General transcription is not difficult at all - far easier than medical, but it ...
