Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions

Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions

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 various areas...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

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...

Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Neuroimaging
Computational Neuroscience

Background:

Understanding the human brain's structure-function relationship is crucial for explaining cognition, emotion, and behavior.
Precise localization and analysis of neuroimaging data are essential for brain research.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an interactive web tool and database for the Yale Brain Atlas.
To facilitate precise localization and generalizable analyses of multimodal neuroimaging data.
To support the investigation of brain structure-function relationships.

Main Methods:

Developed a high-resolution anatomical parcellation (Yale Brain Atlas).
Integrated structural data (white matter connectomes, cortical thickness) from the Human Connectome Project.
Incorporated functional data (resting-state fMRI, task-specific fMRI activation) from meta-analytic resources (Neurosynth, NeuroQuery), creating Parcelsynth and ParcelQuery.

Main Results:

The web tool allows parcel-level exploration of structural and functional data.
Data includes white matter connectomes (1,065 subjects), cortical thickness (200 subjects), and fMRI connectivity matrices (34 subjects).
Functional data was translated into Yale Brain Atlas space with 334 function-specific terms.

Conclusions:

The Yale Brain Atlas web tool and database enable scalable, interactive exploration of multimodal neuroimaging data.
This resource aids in understanding the complex relationships between brain structure and function.
Facilitates generalized analyses across diverse neuroimaging datasets.
