Frequency. ~2% (children) [ 3] Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [ 2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [ 3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [ 3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or ...
The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[ 1][ 2] / latralisation [ 3][ 4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.
Brain asymmetry. In human neuroanatomy, brain asymmetry can refer to at least two quite distinct findings: Neuroanatomical differences between the left and right sides of the brain. Lateralized functional differences: lateralization of brain function. A stereotypical image of brain lateralisation - demonstrated to be false in neuroscientific ...
Friston makes the following claims about the explanatory power of the theory: "This model of brain function can explain a wide range of anatomical and physiological aspects of brain systems; for example, the hierarchical deployment of cortical areas, recurrent architectures using forward and backward connections and functional asymmetries in ...
Brain mapping is the study of the anatomy and function of the brain and spinal cord through the use of imaging (including intra-operative, microscopic, endoscopic and multi-modality imaging), immunohistochemistry, molecular & optogenetics, stem cell and cellular biology, engineering (material, electrical and biomedical), neurophysiology, and ...
The brainstem (or brain stem) is the stalk-like part of the brain that connects the forebrain (the cerebrum and diencephalon) with the spinal cord. [ 1] In the human brain, the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. [ 1][ 2] The midbrain is continuous with the thalamus of the diencephalon through the ...
The first is the theory of modularity. Stemming from phrenology, this theory supports functional specialization, suggesting the brain has different modules that are domain specific in function. The second theory, distributive processing, proposes that the brain is more interactive and its regions are functionally interconnected rather than ...
New cases of strabismus in adults can be caused by head injuries or accidents, damage to the eye muscles or nerves during surgery, or health problems such as diabetes, brain tumors, or stroke ...
