Definition: The English translation of "afterbrain" in the King James Version (KJV) could be "a place in a person, especially after being born or dying." It likely refers to the area around the brain or spinal cord that connects it to the rest of the body and is particularly important for maintaining proper functioning. The word can also be translated as "brainstem" (which means "stem," a part of the brain) or "nervous center," which could include the brain, but also includes the cerebrum and other parts like the brainstem that control all functions in the brain. The specific term depends on the context. For example, in medical contexts, it might be used to describe areas outside the spinal cord where signals from the brain are transmitted or processed, such as the midbrain, pons, or medulla oblongata (the area under the brainstem), depending on the function or purpose of that part within a brainstem structure.
