Natalie is a teacher and holds an MA in English Education and is in progress on her PhD in psychology. Cite this lesson The human brain is divided into several regions that are allocated for a specific cognitive function. Learn about the brain and its structure, and understand the different ...
Stretch of a neuron Light Sound Temperature change, hot or cold Neurotransmitters or chemical messengers These stimuli result in ion channels within the cell to open and release one or more of the ions through the cellular membrane and into the synaptic space, which changes the membrane potential...
Therefore, we assume that pornography consumption, even on a nonaddicted level, may have an impact on brain structure and function. However, to our knowledge, the brain correlates associated with frequent pornography consumption have not been investigated so far. Similar to theories taken from ...
Contemporary perspectives suggest that higher human cognition is grounded in a cortical organization that encompasses parallel axes of microstructural differentiation and function1[for nomenclature: Table1]. On the one hand, sensory/motor systems as well as unimodal association cortices are involved in ope...
It will be pointed out that at the lower level a simple systematic organization leads to responses of individual neurones which are straightforward as a function of both static and dynamic stimulus parameters, whereas at the cortical level such as systematic organization is not found, and the ...

Tinnitus is one of the main hearing impairments often associated with pure-tone hearing loss, and typically manifested in the perception of phantom sounds.
Brain Structure and Function – Special Issue on the Insula A link between the systems: functional differentiation and integration within the human insula revealed by Meta-Analysis Florian Kurth1,2,*, Karl Zilles1,2,4, Peter T. Fox3, Angela R. Laird3, Simon B. Eickhoff2,4,5 1 ...
structure and function are coupled across brain regions1,2,3. A brain region’s ‘structure-function coupling’ (SFC) refers to the manner in which its functional and structural connectivity statistically depend upon one another. Here, a structural connection is the white matter projections linking...
