Considering the fact that the brainstem is mostly composed of white matter, this finding is consistent with other white matter in vivo imaging findings. Pontine volume also has been separately correlated with age and has not been shown to be significantly affected.45,131,132 Further investigation ...
Originally, the entire unpaired subdivision of the brain, composed of the rhombencephalon, mesencephalon, and diencephalon as distinguished from the brain's only paired subdivision, the telencephalon. More recently, the connotation of the term has undergone several arbitrary modifications: some use it ...
The brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata, situated in the posterior part of the brain, connecting the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the spinal cord. Embryologically, the brainstem develops from the mesencephalon and part of the rhombencephalon, originating fr...
The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior stalk-like part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. In the human brain the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and themedulla oblongata. What is the brain stem sometimes called? The brainstem is an evol...
The auditory brainstem is a barometer of rapid auditory learning. Neuroscience. IBRO; 2013 Jul 23; 243:104-14. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2013.03.009 PMID: 23518221Skoe E, Krizman J, Spitzer E, Kraus N. (2013) The auditory brain- stem is a barometer of rapid auditory learning. ...
this classification is unable to distinguish the variable prognoses of these gliomas, categorizing all of them as WHO Grade IV. From our study, we show using the epigenetic and genetic signatures that tumors from various locations in the brainstem can be classified into four major epigenetic subtype...
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is the only local therapy for BSM, but efficacy and safety of this approach are incompletely understood because patients with BSM are excluded from most clinical trials. Objective To perform a systematic review and comparative meta-analysis of SRS studies for BSM in ...
The part of the vertebrate brain located at the base of the brain and important in the control of many voluntary and involuntary body functions. In humans and other mammals, the brainstem is composed of the pons, medulla, and midbrain. ...
Despite the importance of 5-HT1A as a major target for the action of several anxiolytics/antidepressant drugs, little is known about its regulation in central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) neurons. We report that expression of 5-HT1A and the tran
We validated that the iRO is composed of only excitatory neurons and identified two neuropeptides, Penk and Tac1, that are expressed within the iRO. Co-expression of Vglut2-Flp and Penk-Cre labeled neurons within the iRO region (Figure 8A), and electrophysiological recordings of these neurons ...
