Primary objective: To examine the function of the motor cortex during executive function tasks in individuals with concussion, relative to healthy controls. Methods and procedures: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to assess motor cortex excitability and inhibition acutely, within 72 hours...

The cerebrum is the largest part that comprises of the l.ft and the right hemispheres. The brain coordinates all vital physical and psychological processes such as swallowing, heartbeat, memory, and attention, among others. This question is about the role of the hindbrain in the body....
The brainstem coordinates motor control signals sent from the brainto the body. This brain region also controls life-supporting autonomic functions of theperipheral nervous system. The fourthcerebral ventricleis located in the brainstem, posterior to the pons and medulla oblongata. This cerebrospinal...
Oxidation Resistance 1 (OXR1) gene is a highly conserved gene of the TLDc domain-containing family. OXR1 is involved in fundamental biological and cellular processes, including DNA damage response, antioxidant pathways, cell cycle, neuronal protection, a
Early motor function after local treatment of brain metastases in the motor cortex region with stereotactic radiotherapy/radiosurgery or microsurgical resection: a retrospective study of two consecutive cohorts Bogdan Pintea, Brigitta Baumert, Thomas Mehari Kinfe, Konstantinos Gousias, Yaroslav Parpale...
The forebrain, brainstem and spinal cord contribution to the control of locomotion is reviewed in this article. The lamprey is used as an experimental model since it allows a detailed cellular analysis of the neuronal network underlying locomotion. The focus is on cellular mechanisms that are import...
OBJECTIVE: We used functional brain imaging to reevaluate Luria's postulates and to elaborate the neural circuitry underlying performance of complex motor tasks. BACKGROUND: The anatomic organization and physiologic functioning of the normal human motor system have great significance for understanding motor...
Ceramide, the precursor of all complex sphingolipids, is a potent signaling molecule that mediates key events of cellular pathophysiology. In the nervous system, the sphingolipid metabolism has an important impact. Neurons are polarized cells and their normal functions, such as neuronal connectivity and...
Brain The human brain, despite weighing only about three pounds, is the control center of the body. Thebraincontrols everything from thought, memory, and motor skills to emotion, breathing, and the senses. The different parts of the brain each have a specific purpose, and together the brain'...
