The connections between the terminal nerve and the olfactory system have been extensively studied in human embryos. olfactory nerve fibers enter the brain at stage 17, fibers from the vomeronasal organ and fibers of the terminal nerve enter the brain at stages 17 and 18. [9] During prenatal development some of the ganglion cells are lost. [7]
The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that has been associated with various memory functions. It is part of the limbic system, and lies next to the medial temporal lobe. It is made up of two structures, the Ammon's Horn, and the Dentate gyrus, each containing different types of cells. [1]
Axon terminals (also called terminal boutons, synaptic boutons, end-feet, or presynaptic terminals) are distal terminations of the branches of an axon. An axon, also called a nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses called action potentials away from the neuron's cell body to transmit those ...
The stria terminalis (or terminal stria) is a structure in the brain consisting of a band of fibers running along the lateral margin of the ventricular surface of the thalamus. Serving as a major output pathway of the amygdala , the stria terminalis runs from its centromedial division to the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus .
Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. ... as some people seem to imagine, that ‘mind’ memories (emotions, knowledge, skills) are ...
The parahippocampal gyrus (or hippocampal gyrus [1]) is a grey matter cortical region of the brain that surrounds the hippocampus and is part of the limbic system. The region plays an important role in memory encoding and retrieval. It has been involved in some cases of hippocampal sclerosis. [2] Asymmetry has been observed in schizophrenia. [3]
A man with a terminal brain condition says the Government needs to fix the UK’s palliative care system first before legislating assisted dying. ... specifically short-term memory loss is a very ...
Middle temporal gyrus is a gyrus in the brain on the temporal lobe. It is located between the superior temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus. It corresponds largely to Brodmann area 21. The middle temporal gyrus is bounded by: the superior temporal sulcus above; the inferior temporal sulcus below;
