Symmetric Bihemispheric Postmortem Brain Cutting to Study Healthy and Pathological Brain Conditions in Humans
Published on: December 18, 2016
Resumen
La neuroanatomía detallada del cerebro humano es crucial para comprender la actividad cerebral. Se necesitan con urgencia nuevas técnicas de imagen porque los métodos actuales utilizados para los monos no son aplicables a los humanos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La neurociencia es la neurociencia.
- Imágenes del cerebro humano.
Sus antecedentes:
- Comprender la actividad cerebral humana requiere un conocimiento detallado de la neuroanatomía.
- Las técnicas actuales de neuroimagen son insuficientes para un análisis detallado del cerebro humano.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para resaltar la necesidad urgente de nuevas técnicas de neuroimagen aplicables a los seres humanos.
- Abordar las limitaciones de los métodos existentes en la investigación de la neuroanatomía humana.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de las técnicas actuales de neuroimagen.
- Comparación de los métodos utilizados en la investigación de primates humanos versus no humanos.
Principales resultados:
- Los métodos existentes para el estudio de la neuroanatomía del mono no son transferibles a los seres humanos.
- Hay una brecha significativa en las técnicas para la neuroanatomía humana detallada.
Conclusiones:
- El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de neuroimagen es esencial para el avance de la neurociencia humana.
- La investigación futura debe centrarse en la creación de técnicas no invasivas para el mapeo detallado del cerebro humano.

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
Synteny and Evolution
John H. Renwick first coined the term “synteny” in 1971, which refers to the genes present on the same chromosomes, even if they are not genetically linked. The species with common ancestry tend to show conserved syntenic regions. Therefore, the concept of synteny is nowadays used to describe the evolutionary relationship between species.
Around 80 million years ago, the human and mice lineages diverged from the common ancestor. During the course of evolution, the ancestral chromosome underwent...

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or playing an...
Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles
There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen. The...
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...
