into four different parts: the cerebrum‚ the cerebral cortex‚ the cerebellum‚ and the medulla oblongata. The cerebrum is the biggest section of the brain (Understanding the Basic Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body). There are two sections of the cerebrum‚ the right and left hemispheres. The right side controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side of the body. As well as being the center for thought and intelligence‚ the cerebrum also contains control of sensory

Neuron: masses of nerve cells in nervous tissue Neuroglial Cells: provide neurons physiological requirements (fill spaces‚ give support to neurons) Schwann Cells: larger axons of peripheral neurons enclosed in sheaths Neurofibrils: thin‚ long fibrils that run through body of neuron and extends to axon and dendrites; gives neuron

The cerebrum‚ diencephalon‚ cerebellum and brain stem are the 4 major parts of the brain. The cerebrum is responsible for all thought‚ judgement‚ memory‚ and controlling and integrating the motor and sensory functions. The dienchephalon is located between the cerebrum and midbrain. This part of the brain consists of the thalamus and the brain of the brain‚ also known as‚ the hypothalamus

Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of the elder. Early-onset Alzheimer’s‚ otherwise known as younger-onset‚ affects those younger than the age of 65. Many who get younger-onset are usually in their 30’s‚ 40’s‚ or 50’s. In the United States‚ more than 200‚00 people have early-onset. Those dealing with it can be in the early‚ middle‚ or end stage of the disease. This disease is located in chromosome 12‚ and also chromosomes 21‚ 14‚ and 1‚ located on PS1 (or AD3.

Did you know there are 120 types of brain and central nervous system tumors that exist (“Understanding Brain Tumors”)? What is a brain tumor? A brain tumor is a collection‚ or mass‚ of abnormal cells in your brain (Lights‚ Verneda). In order to know more about brain tumors‚ people should understand the diagnosis‚ anatomy of the brain‚ grades‚ types‚ and treatment of brain tumors. The first step in finding a tumor is diagnosis. There are a variety of ways to be diagnosed for having a tumor. The first
