The brainstem (or brain stem) is the region of the brain located inferior to the thalamus, superior to the spinal cord and anterior to the cerebellum. It is made up of three parts: midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata, each with its unique structure and function. The main functions of ...
Unfortunately, due to the small size of the brainstem and its location deep in the cranium, direct measurements of RF function during active motor tasks is not feasible, as the only viable approach would be using non-invasive technique based on neuroimaging. However, the between-subject and betw...
Learning outcomes: Readers will be able to: (1) describe the general location and function of the central pattern generator for mastication, (2) identify the primary nuclei involved in the central pattern generator for mastication, (3) describe the general interactions among the central pattern ...
Brainstem Structure and Function Thebrainstemcan be subdivided anatomically into thediencephalon(thalamus, hypothalamus), mesencephalon (midbrain), ventralmetencephalon(pons), and myelencephalon (medulla). Functionally, the diencephalon is more similar to the telencephalon (cerebral hemispheres) than to the...
Voluntary urination ensures that waste is eliminated when safe and socially appropriate, even without a pressing urge. Uncontrolled urination, or incontinence, is a common problem with few treatment options. Normal urine release requires a small region in the brainstem known as Barrington’s nucleus ...
To evaluate the alterations in brain dynamics in patients suffering from brainstem or cerebellar infarctions and their potential associations with cognitive function. In this study, 37 patients were recruited who had acute cerebellar infarction (CI), 32 patients who had acute brainstem infarction (BsI...
(Agrp)-containing neurons, thus priming net anorexigenic output. Indeed, both acute heat and the chemogenetic activation of glutamatergic parabrachial neurons at thermoneutrality reduced food intake for hours, in a manner that is sensitive to bothVegfaloss-of-function and blockage of vesicle-...
The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to study the development of 8th nerve and auditory brainstem function in 71 unanesthetized gerbils. Initial ... D.I.,Smith,and,... - 《Hear Res》 被引量: 81发表: 1987年 Characterization of human auditory brainstem circuits by calcium-binding ...
Loss of function of membrane ion pumps and impaired voltage gradient across membranes, leading to cellular edema Neuronal excitotoxicity due to the release of glutamate and synaptosomal-associated protein causes further deterioration of energy levels and membrane ion potentials.; reactive oxygen species and...
