invasive– adj. done by cutting into or putting something into the body vein– n. a tube that carries blood to the heart from other parts of the body stroke– n. a sudden change in the blood supply to a part of the brain that sometimes causes a loss of movement in the body ...
What are the parts of the human brain and their functions? What is the basic function of the hind brain (brain stem)? What part of the brain is responsible for executive function? What is the function of the cerebrum of the brain?
Branch-like axons (in blue) connect with neurons (in green) in the last stage of an important neural circuit that links several major parts of the brain. Credit: Dong lab/UCLA A UCLA study using mice reveals new insights into the wiring of a major circuit in the brain that is attacked ...
The epithelial-mesenchymal interaction between the epithelia and PCM is necessary to form the major parts of the caudal embryo. During such caudal embryonic development, several signaling pathways such as Bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) and Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) are activated in the aPCM. On note...
Explore the major arteries in the human body and review diagrams of where the major arteries are, what they do, and how they are connected to each...
The nervous system can also be divided by function. Thesomatic nervous systemis the part under voluntary control–for example contraction ofskeletal muscle. Some other parts of the nervous system are under involuntary control, such asheart rateandbreathing. This involuntary part of the nervous system...
The appendage used for locomotion is called limb, for example, legs and arms of animals. Wings in birds and flippers in whales are also examples of limbs. In the human body, upper limb refers to hand and lower limb indicates leg.
The so-called Plexin-A1 gene seems to play a more extensive role in brain development than previously assumed. This is shown by a current study led by the University Hospital Bonn and the Institute of Anatomy of the University of Bonn with more than 60 i
The current availability of whole-brain, genome-wide expression atlases, such as the Allen Human Brain Atlas (AHBA)49, has created new opportunities to unravel the microscale molecular substrates underlying macroscale cortical organization. This correspondence can be achieved by examining the spatial cor...
