Astrogliaology

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: Ass tro leea olo gee

Sentence: Dr. Sara Brum and Dr. Cy Napps were doing research into the newly emerging field of Astrogliaology, which they had stumbled on by accident in their lab and immediately filed for patent. Their experiments were based on the theory that if the brain were subjected to enough blunt trauma that one could cross dimensions and grant one divination by the constellations. In other words, you could see stars. Loosely based on the Zodiac, these inner stars would be renamed: Pisces=Pia; Aries=Axon; Taurus=Temporal;Gemini=Gyrus; Cancer=Cortex; Leo=Lobes; Virgo=Ventricle; Libra=Limbic; Scorpio=Skull; Sagittarius=Suprachiasmatic; Capricorn=Cranium & Aquarius=Amygdala. The possibilities were endless...the good doctors envisioned millions of suggestable people paying large sums to have the stars in their heads read. Their Astrogliaology Techniques could be taught at Star Trek Conventions and Pschyic Fairs. The only downside to their theorum was the fact that one-too-many trips to the inner galaxies might leave some of their clients even more brain-dead than they already were...

Etymology: Astroglia (a type of glial cell that supports neurons;tissue consisting of large stellate neuroglial cells in the brain) & Astrology (a pseudoscience claiming divination by the positions of the planets and sun and moon)
