Should we overlook anatomical studies written in non-alphabetic languages?

Here is the answer from ChatGPT:

No, we should not overlook anatomical studies written in non-alphabetic languages.

Anatomical knowledge is global, and many valuable contributions have been made in a variety of linguistic and cultural contexts. Studies in languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and others that use non-alphabetic writing systems contain essential information and perspectives. Ignoring them would limit our understanding and exclude significant research, especially in regions with rich scientific traditions.

In short, all anatomical studies—regardless of the language in which they're written—should be considered for a comprehensive understanding of the field.
