Describe the function of three areas of the brain. Name and describe the function of three areas of the brain. List the external structures of the brain and describe their functions. Which major body cavity are these structures located within? Describe the main components of the brain ...
Being the brain one of the most important organs in terms of maintaining the homeostasis and balance of the organism, any condition that affects its structure and functionality can develop into a serious and potentially life-threatening disorder. Depending on the are...
With essential elements of functional neuroanatomy, this chapter completes the anatomical basis developed in Chap. 2 , with a systematic description of the major neurotransmitter systems, including ways to experimentally influence them. The amino acids, such as glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (...
157K The brainstem, thalamus, reticular formation, and cerebellum are the four oldest parts of the brain. Explore the parts of the brain, the parts of the limbic system, as well as the four lobes of the brain, and understand their functions. Related...

Major affective disorder, in the context of neuroscience, refers to common widespread conditions that are associated with multiple psychosocial impairments and an increased risk of suicide in the general population. These disorders are recently found to be linked to disturbances in structural and synaptic...
However, the organization and interaction on a network level of brain areas associated with depressive rumination remains to be investigated. This study examined the functional topological organization profile of the neural network of rumination in MDD using resting state functional magnetic resonance ...
The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord, which are responsible for sending and receiving the neural signals needed to sustain the body's major life functions. The central nervous system is contained within the meninges, a type of tough co...
