Systemic stimuli that may activate central angiotensinergic pathways include plasma hypertonicity and circulating hormones such as ANG II. In this chapter, the specific sites where ANG II/III is acting within polysynaptic neural pathways mediating homeostatic functions are reviewed KeywordsBrain ANG ...

The midbrain serves important functions in motor movement, particularly movements of theeye, and in auditory and visual processing. It is located within thebrainstemand between the two other developmental ...
Brain training is supposed to stimulate the neurons in your brain to activate and connect new neuronal pathways. By performing a certain behavior you "train," the cells in your brain to perform better on suggested tasks and there is a phenomenon called "transference," which explains the transfer...

A genius among geniuses, Albert Einstein had an average size brain; researchers suspect his mind-boggling cognitive abilities may have stemmed from its high connectivity, with several pathways connecting distant regions of his brain, Live Science previously reported. Humans also have the largest ...
Researchers sometimes use cortical organoids—three-dimensional cultures of human stem cells that can mirror some of the developmental processes seen in typical brains—as a model for investigating how some aspects of the human brain develops and functions. However, cortical organoids lack the connecti...
mitochondria take the nutrients supplied by diet and convert them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency that cells use to perform all of the functions that keep us alive. The loss or diminishment of ATP is deleterious to health and can ultimately be deadly, by invoking a serie...
