The periaqueductal gray (PAG), also known as the central gray, is a brain region that plays a critical role in autonomic function, motivated behavior and behavioural responses to threatening stimuli. [1] [2] PAG is also the primary control center for descending pain modulation. It has enkephalin-producing cells that suppress pain.
The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...
The ears are referred to as the auricle or otic region. The nose is referred to as the nasal region. The mouth is referred to as the oral region. The chin is referred to as the mental region. The neck is referred to as the cervical region. The trunk of the body contains, from superior to inferior, the thoracic region encompassing the chest [1]
Brain metastasis – cancer that has spread to the brain from another location in the body; Tuberous sclerosis – genetic disease that causes non-malignant tumors to grow in the brain and on other vital organs; Brain damage. Acquired brain injury; Traumatic brain injury
The polymorphic layer is often called the hilus or hilar region. [14] The neurons in the polymorphic layer, including mossy cells and GABAergic interneurons, primarily receive inputs from the granule cells in the dentate gyrus in the form of mossy fibers and project to the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus via the associational ...
Pelvis and perineum – the pelvis consists of everything from the pelvic inlet to the pelvic diaphragm; the perineum is the region between the sex organs and the anus Lower limb – everything below the inguinal ligament , including the hip , the thigh , the knee , the leg , the ankle , the foot
All circumventricular organs except the subcommissural organ contain fenestrated capillaries, [2] a feature that distinguishes them from most other parts of the brain. [7] The SFO can be divided into six anatomical zones based on its capillary topography : two zones in the coronal plane and four zones in the sagittal plane . [ 3 ]
