    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    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 ...

  3. Head and neck anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_anatomy

    Association neurons are located in the grey matter of the spinal cord and the brain. The CNS is protected by the cranium, vertebral column, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid. The spinal cord is an extension of the brain. The spinal cord and the brain stem are joined at the base of the cranium at the foramen magnum. Most of the functions of the head ...

  4. Brain atlas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_atlas

    Brain atlases are contiguous, comprehensive results of visual brain mapping and may include anatomical, genetic or functional features. [1] A functional brain atlas is made up of N {\displaystyle N} regions of interest , where these regions are typically defined as spatially contiguous and functionally coherent patches of gray matter.

  5. Atlas (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(anatomy)

    In anatomy, the atlas (C1) is the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine and is located in the neck. The bone is named for Atlas of Greek mythology , just as Atlas bore the weight of the heavens, the first cervical vertebra supports the head . [ 1 ]

    reticulospinal tract: connects the reticular system, a diffuse region of gray matter in the brain stem, to the spinal cord. It also contributes to muscle tone and influences autonomic functions. lateral vestibulospinal tract: Connects the brain stem nuclei of the vestibular system with the spinal cord. This allows posture, movement, and balance ...

  7. Automated Anatomical Labeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Anatomical_Labeling

    Automated Anatomical Labeling (AAL) (or Anatomical Automatic Labeling) is a software package and digital atlas of the human brain. It is typically used in functional neuroimaging-based research to obtain neuroanatomical labels for the locations in 3-dimensional space where the measurements of some aspect of brain function were captured. In ...

  8. Neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy

    In anatomy in general and neuroanatomy in particular, several sets of topographic terms are used to denote orientation and location, which are generally referred to the body or brain axis (see Anatomical terms of location). The axis of the CNS is often wrongly assumed to be more or less straight, but it actually shows always two ventral ...
