Welcome to Module 1: Anatomy & Physiology of the Brain. This module will strengthen your understanding of basic neuroanatomy, neurovasculature, and functional roles of specific brain regions. Lesson 1: Introduction to the Brain. The brain is a dense organ with various functional units.
This module will offer a basic guide to the structure of the brain and nervous system, starting from a description of neurons and working up to a description of how these are organized into different anatomical systems.
BRAIN ANATOMY. Adapted from Human Anatomy & Physiology by Marieb and Hoehn (9th ed.) The anatomy of the brain is often discussed in terms of either the embryonic scheme or the medical scheme. The embryonic scheme focuses on developmental pathways and names regions based on embryonic origins.
Four main brain functions are also dis-cussed, including mobility, communication, biologic maintenance, and survival. Authored by Pierre Rabischong, this section includes fascinating discussions of the inte-grated nervous system, providing a conceptual global framework of brain function.
This chapter, as well as the following chapter, will present a basic overview of brain structure formation with a special emphasis on the differential functions of the various structures and lobes, with the current chapter focusing on the hindbrain, midbrain, and subcorti-cal regions, and the following chapter focusing on the forebrain.
Brain. Rotate this 3D model to see the four major regions of the brain: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem. The brain directs our body’s internal functions. It also integrates sensory impulses and information to form perceptions, thoughts, and memories.
This interactive brain model is powered by the Wellcome Trust and developed by Matt Wimsatt and Jack Simpson; reviewed by John Morrison, Patrick Hof, and Edward Lein. Structure descriptions were written by Levi Gadye and Alexis Wnuk and Jane Roskams .
