The predominant view of visual cue integration has roots in two fundamental concepts of nineteenth century neuroscience: (1) elemental qualities of sensation and (2) localization of function within the brain. The former concept, known as “elementism,” holds that perception results from an associat...
her brain MRI showed new lesions in bilateral thalamus and left cerebellum(thalamitis and cerebellitis), whereas the old lesions were significantly relieved (Figure 2). She was then admitted to our hospital. Laboratory auto-immune analysis detected myelin...
It is a method whereby the precise locations of small lesions at thalamus and basal ganglia are determined by automatically superimposing these lesions defined by magnetic resonance imaging directly on images from Schaltenbrand's human brain atlas. This paper describes the method and some illustrative ...
A posterior limb is a section of the human brain that is composed of white matter. The main purpose of a posterior limb is to...
The spinal cord isn’t just flopping around in the neural canal willy-nilly. Like the brain, the spinal cord is jacketed in a series of protective membranes collectively called the meninges (singular: meninx). Mammals and most (all?) other tetrapods have three meninges: ...
midbrain down to the medulla, is involved in various functions, including sleep and arousal, temperature regulation, and motor control. Groups of motoneurons form two cranial nuclei; their axons branch out to create the oculomotor nerve and the trochlear nerve, both of which control eye movement...
In July 2020, the patient came to our hospital for routine follow-up. No new symptoms were developed during follow-up. However, her brain MRI showed new lesions in bilateral thalamus and left cerebellum(thalamitis and cerebellitis), whereas the old lesions were significantly relieved (Figure 2...
The cingulate cortex is a part of the brain that plays a role in learning, memory, and emotion. Although the cingulate cortex...
are compatible with different brain networks subserving the identification of living and non-living entities; in particular, they indicate a crucial role of the left fusiform gyrus in the processing of animate entities and of the left middle temporal gyrus for tools, both from words and pictures....
substantia nigra/ventral tegmentum, putamen, thalamus, pallidum, inferior parietal (supramarginal and angular gyrus) and cingulate cortex were also seen to have greater differences in BOLD signal changes in patients compared with controls and many of these regions are also associated with general phobic...
