The Brain has five major structures . These structures include the mesencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ myelencephalon (or medulla)‚ telencephalon‚ and diecephalon. All of these brain structures contribute different functions within the human body. The brain’s first structure is the myelencephalon‚ which is also called the medulla. The myelencephalon is known as the most posterior part of the brain. The structure of the myelencephalon is made up of bundles of axons called tracts. These tracts carry

* Interest and research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions

Are the brains of men and women specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities? Many studies are showing that the brains of men and women may be specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities. An example of this would be a man’s brain using one part of the brain to accomplish a task and a woman’s brain accomplishing the same task with another part of the brain. Based on the text I believe that the brains of men and women are specialized in different ways. One example

The brain is an amazing arrangement. It is the most rigid and interesting part of the human body. It is like a computer that controls every part of the body. The brain consist of many millions of neurons cells that support the brain system this is called Glial cells (Pinel 2011 p.55) The neurons in the brain process information and these are the nervous system communication device. Neurons can be broken down into four structures. These are soma‚ the cell body which shields and protect the nucleus

human brain has five divisions. They start forming in the vertebrae embryo as the tissue that eventually develops into the central nervous system. The first developments of the brain are three swellings that appear at the anterior end of a fluid filled tube. These swellings eventually become the forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and hindbrain. What happens is‚ the forebrain swelling grows into two different swellings and so does the hindbrain swelling. This is what makes up the five divisions of the brain. These

Mirrors in the Brain On a 1991 hot summer day in Parma‚ Italy‚ a lab monkey awaited its researchers’ return from lunch. The researchers had implanted wires next to its motor cortex‚ in a frontal lobe brain region that enabled the monkey to plan and enact movements. The monitoring device would alert the researchers to activity in that region of the monkey’s brain. When the monkey moved a peanut into its mouth‚ for example‚ the device would buzz. That day‚ as one of the researchers entered the lab
