In humans, the cranium is known as neurocranium, and mandibles are known as viscerocranium. The skull has cephalization that helps in housing the brain and the various sensory structure.Answer and Explanation: (a) The major regions of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain ste...
The Central System.—In the brain we easily distinguish three major divisions—thecerebrum, thecerebellumand themedulla oblongata. The medulla is but the enlarged upper part of the cord where it connects with the brain. It is about an inch and a quarter long, and is composed of both medulla...

any stratification-based approach, such as a GWAS meta-analysis, was deemed unfruitful and we instead opted to run a single joint multi-ancestry and admixed GWAS. As a compromise between sample inclusion and model complexity, our GWAS was limited to three ancestral ...
"You have these three different systems that are all located in different parts of the brain, but they are all co-activated at once," said lead study author Roger Beaty, a postdoctoral fellow studying cognitive neuroscience at Harvard University. "People who are better able to co-activate them...
Receiving a favor from another person may induce a negative feeling of indebtedness for the beneficiary. In this study, we explore these hidden costs by developing and validating a conceptual model of indebtedness across three studies that combine a larg
Members of Generation X also had a nearly 8 percent greater volume of white matter and an almost 15 percent greater volume of gray matter surface area than the members of the Silent Generation. One specific part of the brain, called the hippocampus, which plays a major role in memory and ...
The three issues we discuss are (a) the functional interpretation of shared neural activations and what they tell us about the mechanisms of empathy; (b) the role of mirror neurons in empathy; and (c) the relationship of empathy with morality. In order to give some context to our arguments...
Considerable progress has recently been made in natural language processing: deep learning algorithms are increasingly able to generate, summarize, translate and classify texts. Yet, these language models still fail to match the language abilities of hum
Lipids are the main components of brain tissue, comprising 78% of the dry weight of axon myelin sheath and 35-40% of the neuron-rich gray matter9. Over the past 150 years, research on the human brain lipidome has provided substantial information on the biochemical composition of selected gra...
