Astrocytes help form the blood brain barrier. The blood brain barrier prevents harmful materials from moving out of the bloodstream and into the brain. It helps maintain an ion gradient and is important in the transport of materials into and out of the brain. Its endothelial cells contain many tight and adherens junctions‚ which make the endothelial cells of these capillaries tighter than in other places in the body. Astrocyte feet are in physical contact with the capillary endothelial cells. In

The brain has very many intriguing‚ mysterious‚ yet puzzling functions that scientists have been studying and researching for a while. Two articles‚ “Embarrassed? Blame your brain” and “Use it or lose it: A good Brain Pruning” both explain the topics of the brain and its perplexing functions. While this is true‚ there are also numerous differences between the two articles. Although they focus on different topics of the brain‚ both articles still share many similarities.

The study of brain injury is an imperative tool when trying to understand the in-depth workings of “the most complex object in the known universe”. We have been studying the brain for thousands of years. From Hippocrates in 468BC‚ describing epilepsy as a disturbance of the brain‚ to our modern day MRI and CT scans able to image the brain in great detail our knowledge is always growing.

Abstract In this project our main objective is to detect the tumor and calculate its area based on classifying the images. Death rate among people has been increased due to diseases like brain tumor. The brain tumor that can be identified by using image processing. The proposed system enables automatic detection of brain tumor through MRI. So our main objective is to study‚ analyze and enhance MRI Image from the existing algothrim. Certain traditional approach requires manually extracting the location
