The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Depending upon the position of the animal, it lies either in front or on top of the brainstem. In humans, the cerebrum is the largest and best-developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The cerebrum is made up of the two cerebral hemispheres and their cerebral cortices (the outer layers of ...
The hippocampus ( pl.: hippocampi; via Latin from Greek ἱππόκαμπος, ' seahorse ') is a major component of the brain of humans and other vertebrates. Humans and other mammals have two hippocampi, one in each side of the brain. The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, and plays important roles in the consolidation of information ...
The anatomy of the cerebellum can be viewed at three levels. At the level of gross anatomy, the cerebellum consists of a tightly folded and crumpled layer of cortex, with white matter underneath, several deep nuclei embedded in the white matter, and a fluid-filled ventricle in the middle. [ 1] At the intermediate level, the cerebellum and its ...
Aparentemente, Amaris está teniendo un gran año. Lleva meses sin sufrir tics graves y piensa que ya ha superado el síndrome de Tourette. (“No digas que he mejorado”, pide. “Di que estoy completamente curada, porque ya está curado”.) Pero el cerebro no cambia de forma milagrosa. La arquitectura del síndrome todavía está ahí.
The adult human brain weighs on average about 1.5 kg (3.3 lb). [ 1] In men the average weight is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g. [ 2][contradictory] The volume is around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women, although there is substantial individual variation. [ 3] Yet another study argued that adult human brain weight is 1300-1400 g ...
Cerebral hemisphere. Human brain seen from front. The vertebrate cerebrum ( brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral ...
Human Brain Project. The Human Brain Project ( HBP) was a €1-billion EU scientific research project that ran for ten years from 2013 to 2023. [ 2][ 3][ 4] Using high-performance exascale supercomputers it built infrastructure that allowed researchers to advance knowledge in the fields of neuroscience, computing and brain-related medicine.
