In 2017 the inventor of this device suggested that after slight modifications this method could be effective in delivery of stem cells to the brain as well. [7] A recent Australian study has shown that the bacterium causing the tropical disease melioidosis , Burkholderia pseudomallei , can also invade the brain via the olfactory nerve within 24 ...

The cruciform eminence (or cruciate eminence) divides the deeply concave internal surface of the occipital bone into four fossae: The upper two fossae are called the cerebral fossae , are triangular and lodge the occipital lobes of the cerebrum .
The shape of the central sulcus has been linked to the degree of disability in individuals who have a small subcortical ischemic stroke as a result of severe cerebral small vessel disease. [15] However, the severity of the disability has been found to not be fully dependent upon the morphology of the central sulcus. [15]
Though much about the brain remains a mystery, scientists have long surmised that our thoughts, feelings and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to ...

The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...
Variation in size, weight, and shape of the brain can be found within reptiles. [54] For instance, crocodilians have the largest brain volume to body weight proportion, followed by turtles, lizards, and snakes. Reptiles vary in the investment in different brain sections. Crocodilians have the largest telencephalon, while snakes have the smallest.
