Bottom-up models allow us to draw conclusions about how mechanical events affect or disrupt cell level processes and organ level function and about how the brain organizes itself during development.
In order to understand how a child's brain organizes itself to best solve the problem of producing language and how this organization differs from the "mature" brain it may be particularly useful to see what happens when the language production task becomes increasingly demanding.
Such epilepsy-like activity may affect the way the brain organizes its circuitry in childhood.
The results suggest that one region of the brain organizes the rhythm and flow of language while another is responsible for the actual articulation of the words.
The discovery demonstrates for the first time a two-way crosstalk between touch and vision, challenging long-held notions of how the brain organizes the senses.
When you sleep at night, your brain organizes itself to get better at what you did during the day.
The phenomenon called "rubber hand illusion (RHI)" has a critical impact on understanding how our brain organizes one's own body image that induces the sense of self-ownership [1].
Taken together, these results demonstrate that immature cells in the developing brain organize in small-world networks that critically regulate neural progenitor proliferation.
The mushroom bodies (MBs) are a set of ca. 5000 neurons in the Drosophila brain, organized into five distinct lobular neuropils, which are required for odor memory acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval.
In conclusion, our results demonstrate that immature cells in the developing brain organize in small-world networks through gap junctions and that these network circuits critically regulate neural progenitor proliferation.
The museum is a former hospital for the insane founded in 1848 and later converted into a museum with an autopsy room and anatomical museum that displays preserved specimens, mostly brains, organized by pathology.
