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. In Part 1, we’ll look at the neuron and how neurons communicate with each other.
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.
Anatomy of the Brain Overview The human brain is an amazing three-pound organ that controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence of the mind and soul.
Anatomy of the Brain. The brain consists of the brain stemand the cerebral hemispheres. The brain stem is divided into hind-brain, mid-brain and a ‘between-brain’ called the diencephalon. The hind-brain is an extension of the spinal cord. It contains networks of neurons that constitute centres for the control of vital
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.
Knowledge of brain anatomy is fundamental to our understanding of cognitive processes in health and disease; moreover, anatomical constraints are vital for neu-rocomputational models and can be important for psychological theorizing as well.
