The cerebellum processes information from functionally diverse regions of the cerebral cortex. Cerebellar input and output nuclei have connections with prefrontal, parietal, and sensory cortex as well as motor and premotor cortex. However, the topography of the connections between the cerebellar and cerebral cortices remains largely unmapped, as it is relatively unamenable to anatomical methods...

Lesional and electrophysiological data implicate a role for the cerebral cortex in the initiation and modulation of human swallowing, and yet its functional neuroanatomy remains undefined. We therefore conducted a functional study of the cerebral loci processing human volitional swallowing with 15O-labeled water positron emission tomography (PET) activation imaging. Regional cerebral activation...

1. Starvation did not affect the rates of glucose utilization or lactate formation by guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices. 2. Palmitate (1mm), butyrate (5mm) or acetoacetate (5mm) did not affect glucose utilization or lactate formation by cerebral cortex slices from guinea pigs starved for 48hr. 3. dl-beta-Hydroxybutyrate (10mm) increased the formation of lactate without affecting glucose utiliza...

Abstract High-throughput single-cell epigenomic assays can resolve cell type heterogeneity in complex tissues, however, spatial orientation is lost. Here, we present combinatorial indexing on Microbiopsies Assigned to Positions for the Assay Transposase Accessible Chromatin, or sciMAP-ATAC, as a method highly scalable, spatially resolved, profiling of chromatin states. sciMAP-ATAC produces data...

adenosine has many of the characteristics of a regulator of cerebral blood flow and adenosine receptors change in morphine dependency. in this study the changes in adenosine receptors' responsiveness of pial vessels in the hind limb area of the sensory cortex were evaluated in morphine dependent rats (mdr) using the laser doppler flowmetry technique. adult male sprague dawley rats (250-350...

The detection of scars in the cerebral cortex usually involves a manual process performed by radiologists, who have to face multiple troubles. For example, the bad calibration of the equipment used to get images of the cerebral cortex can cause spacial and geometrical distortions in the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) sequences. Owing to the advances in algorithms capable of analyzing MRI sequ...

Aluminium is presents in many manufactured foods, medicines and is also added to drinking water for purification purposes.The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outer-most to the cerebrum. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the possible effects that aluminium chloride exposure could have on the histology of cerebral cortex of wistar rats’ offspring.The wistar rats we...

It is known that the cerebral cortex is the most “human” part of the nervous system because its activity is directly related to the emergence of those capacities that distinguish humans from other mammals. Of course, the brain works as a whole and the cerebral cortex is connected to many brain regions – and it is these connections that are also critical for the overall functioning of the cerebr...
