It generally controls cognition, thought, memory, emotion, perception, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, and every process that regulates our body. The major regions of the brain include the brainstem, diencephalon, cerebrum, and cerebellum....
The brain stem is involved in many of the basic functions of the encephalon. This section reviews some of the more important components of the sensory, motor, and autonomic systems, as described in the literature, to assist the reader in understanding the anatomic structures discussed [16,17,...
Identify the bones that comprise the pelvic girdle. Identify the regions of the vertebral column and the number of bones in each, the characteristics of bones in each region. Name the major parts of the axial skeleton. In which bones can bone marrow chiefly be found?
Leptin controls the function of the HPA axis127 via its receptor in the hypothalamus. The cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, dorsal raphe (DR) nucleus, arcuate nucleus, and solitary tract nucleus are some regions of the brain that can express leptin receptors. Increasing experimental data ...
Among them, miRNAs are a class of small RNAs that are found either in intergenic regions of genomes or in the intronic regions of protein-coding genes [[6], [7], [8]]. MiRNA maturation is the result of a highly controlled multistage process in cells. Intergenic miRNAs usually have their...
[13]. MiRNAs generally bind to complementary sequences known as miRNA response elements (MREs) in the 3’ UTR region of mRNA [14,15]. However, some MREs have also been discovered in the 5’ UTR, coding regions, and promoter regions, where they exert silencing and inducing effects on ...
Figure 1. View LargeDownload Regions shown as a volume in the glass brain. Maps of correlations of relative regional glucose metabolic rate in human brain in major depression, with severity of depression measured by the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Upper left, overall depression (tot...
47-51 Two questions arise: Do serotonergic abnormalities in major depression involve different brain regions compared with the diathesis for suicide? Second, what factors cause these alterations in serotonergic function? Genetic factors partly explain the risks for major depression52 and for suicide.53,...
The Sox-2 Regulatory Regions Display Their Activities in Two Distinct Types of Multipotent Stem Cells The Sox-2 gene is expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells and neural stem cells. Two transcription enhancer regions, Sox-2 regulatory region 1 (SRR1) and SR... S Miyagi,T Saito,KI Mizutani...
What are the major regions of the adult brain? Which part of the brain is a deep groove dividing the cerebral hemispheres? What is the brain part that is responsible for regulation of posture and coordination of complex muscular movements? Which part of the brain...
