Organization of the Brain

Organization of the Brain

The brain is an integral component of the nervous system and serves as the center for processing sensory inputs, making decisions, and directing bodily actions. This complex organ is organized into three primary sections: the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, each responsible for a range of vital functions.
Hindbrain
The hindbrain, located at the base of the brain, plays a vital role in regulating automatic processes that sustain life. It includes the medulla oblongata, which is essential for...

Neuron Structure

Neuron Structure

Neurons are the main type of cell in the nervous system that generate and transmit electrochemical signals. They primarily communicate with each other using neurotransmitters at specific junctions called synapses. Neurons come in many shapes that often relate to their function, but most share three main structures: an axon and dendrites that extend out from a cell body.
Structure and Function of Neurons
The neuronal cell body—the soma— houses the nucleus and organelles vital to cellular...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Developmental Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

Brain's structural and functional connectivity are crucial for cognition.
The developmental relationship between structural connectome (SC) and functional connectome (FC) coupling and its impact on cognition and gene expression is not well understood.

Conclusions:

SC-FC coupling undergoes heterogeneous maturation during development.
SC-FC coupling plays a role in individual differences in general intelligence.
Gene expression related to oligodendrocytes and astrocytes influences SC-FC coupling development.
