Anatomy of the human brain Brain size and intelligence Left brain vs. right brain BRAIN Initiative The brain after death Additional resources The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It receives signals from the body's sensory organs and outputs information to...
This chapter presents an overview of the anatomy of the brain stem and describes certain functional centers. The brain stem consists of medulla, pons and midbrain ( Fig 11–1 and 11–2 ). We will first start at the medul-lospinal junction and then discuss several levels of the medulla,...
Anatomy The brain stem is a tube-shaped mass of nervous tissue a little over 3 inches (8 cm) long. It is located at the base of the brain, superior to the spinal cord and inferior to the cerebrum. As the brain stem ascends from the spinal cord, it widens and becomes more complex ...
Human AnatomyAnatomy Index The Brain STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN BRAIN The brain has three main parts, thecerebrum, thecerebellum, and thebrain stem. The brain is divided into regions that control specific functions. THE CEREBRUM:

Anatomy of the Brain There are different ways of dividing the brain anatomically into regions. Let's use a common method and divide the brain into three main regions based on embryonic development: the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Under these divisions: ...
The brain stem consists (in the anatomical sense) of the myelencephalon (medulla oblongata), metencephalon (pons) and mesencephalon (midbrain). The third ventricle is bordered mainly from the diencephalon structures, hypothalamic and thalamic areas. Only the most anterior part of the hypothalamus ...
Brain cell anatomy The brain is composed of billions of cells that use chemicals and electricity to communicate between themselves and the rest of the body. There are two major types of cells, neurons and glial cells; there are subtypes of these cells. ...
To project functional signals onto the white matter, the Functionnectome requires prior knowledge of the white matter anatomy, and more specifically, the structural connectivity between a given voxel and the rest of the brain (i.e. priors). Accordingly, each prior is a voxel and its probability...
