The effects of electrical and chemical stimulation take place within different places in the brain that selectively affect specific psychological processes as well as psychologically active medications; anesthetics and recreational drugs). These selectively affect different mental processes because they act on the brain in different

ABSTRACT ON BLUE BRAIN Blue brain is the name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think‚ response‚ take decision‚ and keep anything in memory. The main aim is to upload human brain into machine. So that man can think‚ take decision without any effort. After the death of the body‚ the virtual brain will act as the man .So‚ even after the

HUMAN BRAIN The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses. The human brain is the command centre for the human nervous system. It receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. Parts of the Human Brain Ventricles are the 4 cavities in the brain. • The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal

Brain perfusion SPECT is a non-invasive nuclear medicine imaging technique that allows regional CBF evaluation. The technique includes four main components: the CBF radiotracers (radiopharmaceuticals)‚ instrumentation‚ image reconstruction‚ and CBF quantification. 1.1.1 CBF radiotracers The inert gas xenon 133 is one of the most important and classical radiotracers for CBF measurement in absolute units using SPECT []. Nevertheless‚ the poor spatial resolution and the requirement for dedicated instrumentation
