Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions

10.6K
The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It consists of four main parts: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem.
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

36.4K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Correlation and Causation01:27

Correlation and Causation

42.9K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

Crossing Over01:34

Crossing Over

172.2K
Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process...

Crossing Over01:30

Crossing Over

6.6K
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I. Genetic recombination gives rise to allelic diversity in the newly formed daughter cells. In humans, crossing over produces genetically distinct haploid egg and sperm cells that undergo fertilization to produce unique offspring. Before cell division starts, the germ cell’s chromosome(s) undergo duplication in the S phase of the cell cycle. As the cells enter prophase I,...

Correlation01:09

Correlation

15.2K
In statistics, two variables are said to be correlated if the values of one variable are associated with the other variable. Depending on the relationship between two variables, correlation can be of three types– positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Identifying functional connectivity from multi-brain area time series is crucial in neuroscience.
  • Existing methods like cross-correlation, Granger causality, and canonical correlation have limitations with nonstationarity, nonlinearity, and high-dimensional data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new method for analyzing functional connectivity in complex neuroscientific data.
  • To extend canonical correlation to handle 3-way arrays, nonstationarity, nonlinearity, and a large number of signals.
  • To capture predictive relationships similar to Granger causality.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel method extending canonical correlation to 3-way arrays (signals x time points x trials).
  • The method accommodates nonstationary and nonlinear signals.
  • It scales effectively with an increasing number of signals and captures predictive relationships.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the method's effectiveness through simulation studies.
  • Applied the method to local field potentials from a behaving primate.
  • Uncovered a novel connectivity pattern between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during a declarative memory task.

Conclusions:

  • The new method provides a powerful tool for visualizing and statistically assessing complex interdependencies in multi-region brain signals.
  • It allows for dynamic changes in connectivity measures over time and between regions.
  • The findings highlight the utility of the method in uncovering novel neural connectivity patterns.
