This forms a complex network, which includes several types of neurons, as well as glial cells. Despite extensive studies, a comprehensive classification of these neurons is still lacking. The complexity of ENS is magnified by a multiple control of the central nervous system, and bidirectional communication between various central nervous areas and the gut occurs. This lends substance to the complexity of the microbiota–gut–brain axis, which represents the network governing homeostasis through nervous, endocrine, immune, and metabolic pathways. The present manuscript is dedicated to Citation: Natale, G.; Ryskalin, L.; identifying various neuronal cytotypes belonging to ENS in baseline conditions. -
Distance Learning Program Anatomy of the Human Brain/Sheep Brain Dissection
Distance Learning Program Anatomy of the Human Brain/Sheep Brain Dissection This guide is for middle and high school students participating in AIMS Anatomy of the Human Brain and Sheep Brain Dissections. Programs will be presented by an AIMS Anatomy Specialist. In this activity students will become more familiar with the anatomical structures of the human brain by observing, studying, and examining human specimens. The primary focus is on the anatomy, function, and pathology. Those students participating in Sheep Brain Dissections will have the opportunity to dissect and compare anatomical structures. At the end of this document, you will find anatomical diagrams, vocabulary review, and pre/post tests for your students. The following topics will be covered: 1. The neurons and supporting cells of the nervous system 2. Organization of the nervous system (the central and peripheral nervous systems) 4. Protective coverings of the brain 5. Brain Anatomy, including cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and brain stem 6. Spinal Cord Anatomy 7. Cranial and spinal nerves Objectives: The student will be able to: 1. Define the selected terms associated with the human brain and spinal cord; 2. Identify the protective structures of the brain; 3. Identify the four lobes of the brain; 4. Explain the correlation between brain surface area, structure and brain function. 5. Discuss common neurological disorders and treatments. 6. Describe the effects of drug and alcohol on the brain. 7. Correctly label a diagram of the human brain National Science Education -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Multiple Sclerosis: a Study of Pulse-Technique Efficacy
691 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Multiple Sclerosis: A Study of Pulse-Technique Efficacy Val M. Runge1 Forty-two patients with the clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis were examined by Ann C. Price1 proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 0.5 T. An extensive protocol was used to Howard S. Kirshner2 facilitate a comparison of the efficacy of different pulse techniques. Results were also Joseph H. Allen 1 compared in 39 cases with high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (CT). MRI revealed characteristic abnormalities in each case, whereas CT was positive in only 15 C. Leon Partain 1 of 33 patients. Milder grades 1 and 2 disease were usually undetected by CT, and in all A. Everette James, Jr.1 cases, the abnormalities noted on MRI were much more extensive than on CT. Cerebral abnormalities were best shown with the T2-weighted spin-echo sequence (TE/TR = 120/1000); brainstem lesions were best defined on the inversion-recovery sequence (TE/TI/TR =30/400/1250). Increasing TE to 120 msec and TR to 2000 msec heightened the contrast between normal and abnormal white matter. However, the signal intensity of cerebrospinal fluid with this pulse technique obscured some abnormalities. The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis continues to be a clinical challenge [1,2). The lack of an objective means of assessment further complicates the evaluation of treatment regimens. Evoked potentials, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis , and computed tomography (CT) are currently used for diagnosis, but all lack sensitivity and/or specificity. Furthermore, postmortem examinations demonstrate many more lesions than those suggested by clinical means [3). -

The Prefrontal Cortex of the Primate: a Synopsis
Psychobiology 2000,28 (2),125-13/ The prefrontal cortex of the primate: A synopsis JOAQuiN M. FUSTER University of California, Los Angeles, California The prefrontal cortex is one of the latest regions of the neocortex to develop, in both phylogeny and ontogeny. In the primate, the prefrontal cortex is anatomically divided into three major sectors: medial, orbital (or inferior), and dorsolateral. The dorsolateral sector is the association cortex of the convex ity of the frontal lobe. Phylogenetically and ontogenetically, this part of the prefrontal cortex is the one to develop last and most. It is the neural substrate of the higher cognitive functions that reach their maximum development in the human brain. The-most general and distinctive function of the dorso lateral prefrontal cortex is the temporal organization of goal-directed actions. In the human, this role extends to the domains of speech and reasoning. Two temporally symmetrical and mutually comple mentary cognitive functions-one retrospective and the other prospective-support that general pre frontal function of temporal organization: (1) active short-term memory, also called working memory; (2) prospective or preparatory set. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex interacts with other cortical and subcortical structures in those two time-bridging functions at the basis of the temporal organization of behavior. This article presents in summary form the most salient the cortex of the dorsal and lateral convexity ofthe ante empirical facts known to date on the structure and func rior part of the frontal lobe (Brodmann's cytoarchitectonic tions of the prefrontal cortex of the human and nonhuman area 46, and lateral parts of areas 8, 9, 10, and 11); (2) me primate.
