[70] [71] [72] The first permanent ARPANET link was established on 21 November 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at the Stanford Research Institute. By 5 December 1969, the initial four-node network was established. Elizabeth Feinler created the first Resource Handbook for ARPANET in 1969 which led to the development of the ARPANET ...
The salience network is theorised to mediate switching between the default mode network and frontoparietal network (central executive network). [1] [2] [3]The frontoparietal network (FPN), generally also known as the central executive network (CEN) or, more specifically, the lateral frontoparietal network (L-FPN) (see Nomenclature), is a large-scale brain network primarily composed of the ...
[nb 2] After approval by Barry Wessler at ARPA, [11] who had ordered certain more exotic elements to be dropped, [12] it was finalized in RFC 33 in early 1970, [13] and deployed to all nodes on the ARPANET in December 1970. [14] [15] NCP codified the ARPANET network interface, making it easier to establish, and enabling more sites to join the ...
In 2007 the concept of the default mode was criticized as not being useful for understanding brain function, on the grounds that a simpler hypothesis is that a resting brain actually does more processing than a brain doing certain "demanding" tasks, and that there is no special significance to the intrinsic activity of the resting brain.

Dementia is a general term in the same way that heart disease is a general term. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells. This damage interferes with the ability of brain cells to communicate with each other. When brain cells cannot communicate normally, thinking, behavior and feelings can be affected. [110] There are many signs of dementia.
Cells at the cephalic end give rise to the brain, and cells at the caudal end give rise to the spinal cord. [68] The tube flexes as it grows, forming the crescent-shaped cerebral hemispheres at the head. The cerebral hemispheres first appear on day 32. [69] Early in the fourth week, the cephalic part bends sharply forward in a cephalic flexure ...
In some cells, however, neural backpropagation does occur through the dendritic branching and may have important effects on synaptic plasticity and computation. A neuron in the brain requires a single signal to a neuromuscular junction to stimulate contraction of the postsynaptic muscle cell.
Oligodendrocyte formation in the adult brain is associated with glial-restricted progenitor cells, known as oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). [15] Subventricular zone OPCs are activated and then migrate away from germinal [ 15 ] zones to populate both developing white and gray matter , where they differentiate and mature into myelin ...
