To integrate the results across subjects, one possibility is to use a common brain atlas, and adjust all the brains to align to the atlas, and then analyze them as a single group.

During these meetings David Anderson from the California Institute of Technology proposed the idea that a three dimensional atlas of gene expression in the mouse brain would be of great use to the neuroscience community.

An initial release of the first atlas, the mouse brain atlas, occurred in December 2004.

Also, other projects including the human brain atlas, developing mouse brain, developing human brain, mouse connectivity, non-human primate atlas, and the mouse spinal cord atlas are being developed through the Allen Institute for Brain Science in conjunction with the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas.

Each brain atlas focuses on its own project, made up of its own team of researchers.

To complete an atlas, each research team collects and synthesizes brain scans, medical data, genetic information and psychological data.

The mouse brain atlas was the original project of the Allen Brain Atlas and was finished in 2006.

The atlas was created to enhance research in many neuroscience research fields including neuropharmacology, human brain imaging, human generics, neuroanatomy, genomics and more.

The atlas is also geared toward furthering research into mental health disorders and brain injuries such as Alzheimer ’ s disease, autism, schizophrenia and drug addiction.

The Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas is an atlas which tracks gene expression throughout the development of a C57BL / 6 mouse brain.

This atlas enhances the ability of neuroscientists to study how pollutants and genetic mutations effect the development of the brain.

Unlike other atlases from the Allen Institute, this atlas focuses on the identification of neural circuitry that govern behavior and brain function.

That the perfect continuity was composed from the joblot of memory impressions in the professor's brain, or 2.

Connectionism relies on the idea that the mind / brain is composed of simple nodes and that the power of the system comes primarily from the existence and manner of connections between the simple nodes.

" One of Lenin's challenges was distancing materialism, as a viable philosophical outlook, from the " vulgar materialism " expressed in the statement " the brain secretes thought in the same way as the liver secretes bile " ( attributed to 18th c. physician Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis, 1757 – 1808 ); " metaphysical materialism " ( matter composed of immutable particles ); and 19th-century " mechanical materialism " ( matter as random molecules interacting per the laws of mechanics ).

White matter tissue of the freshly cut brain appears pinkish white to the naked eye because myelin is composed largely of lipid tissue veined with capillaries.

The other main component of the brain is grey matter ( actually pinkish tan due to blood capillaries ), which is composed of neurons.

White matter is composed of bundles of myelinated nerve cell processes ( or axons ), which connect various grey matter areas ( the locations of nerve cell bodies ) of the brain to each other, and carry nerve impulses between neurons.

The function of this part of the human brain has been mapped to be composed of fiber tracks associated with numerous parallel cortico-striato-thalamocortical circuits ( CSTC ), which are involved in sensorimotor, motor, oculomotor as well as the cognitive processes that are manifested by the limbic system.

The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars ( scleroses — better known as plaques or lesions ) particularly in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin.

The most prevalent anatomical region of neuropil is the brain which, although not completely composed of neuropil, does have the largest and highest synaptically-concentrated areas of neuropil in the body.

They have cartilaginous skulls ( although the part surrounding the brain is composed primarily of a fibrous sheath ) and tooth-like structures composed of keratin.

At the interface between blood and the brain, endothelial cells are stitched together by these tight junctions, which are composed of smaller subunits, frequently biochemical dimers, that are transmembrane proteins such as occludin, claudins, junctional adhesion molecule ( JAM ), or ESAM, for example.

The blood – brain barrier is composed of high-density cells restricting passage of substances from the bloodstream much more than endothelial cells in capillaries elsewhere in the body.

The commission was composed of neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, pathologists, psychologists and the University of Texas Health Center Director, Dr. White and Dr. Maurice Heatly and was conducted using Dr. de Chenar's paraffin blocks of the tumor, stained specimens of it and Whitman's other brain tissue, in addition to the remainder of the autopsy specimens available.

After antigens initiate an immune response, these white blood cells send signals, composed of cytokines and other hormonal proteins, to the brain and neuroendocrine system.

If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true ... and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms.

At the organ level, the nervous system is composed of brain regions, such as the hippocampus in mammals or the mushroom bodies of the fruit fly.

The human brain is composed of a large neural network ; this network is a basis out of which multiple models of memory function have been proposed.

The brain is very complex, and is composed of many different areas and types of tissue, or matter.

All varieties of emergentism strive to be compatible with physicalism, the theory that the universe is composed exclusively of physical entities, and in particular with the evidence relating changes in the brain with changes in mental functioning.

The brain is composed of a network of neurons that transmit signals by propagating nerve impulses.

The deep venous drainage is primarily composed of traditional veins inside the deep structures of the brain, which join behind the midbrain to form the vein of Galen.

Unfortunately, because the brain is almost entirely composed of soft tissue that is not radio-opaque, it remains essentially invisible to ordinary or plain x-ray examination.

For example, the receptive field of a ganglion cell in the retina of the eye is composed of input from all of the photoreceptors which synapse with it, and a group of ganglion cells in turn forms the receptive field for a cell in the brain.

But even in relatively primitive laboratory animals such as the rat, sex activity closely identified with the hypothalamus and the visceral brain is enhanced by the neocortex.

MacLean stressed correctly the importance of the visceral brain for preservation of the individual and the species, as evidenced by the influence of the limbic brain ( including the hypothalamus ) on emotions related to fight and flight and also on sexual functions.

But then this theory confesses that it is completely at a loss as to how the image can possibly be received by the brain.

The opening paragraph of the chapter titled The Theory Of Representative Perception, in the book Philosophies Of Science by Albert G. Ramsperger says, `` passed on to the brain, and there, by some unexplained process, it causes the mind to have a perception ''.

But, in denying any physical reality for this dream, how could the brain possibly compose that realistic, vividly visual continuity uninterrupted by misty fadeout, violent break or sudden substitution??

A ship run by a human brain could not run rogue or insane with the power and resources Central had to build into their scout ships.

However, when volunteers generously placed the interests of others before their own by making charitable donations, another brain circuit was selectively activated: the subgenual cortex / septal region.

However, algorithms are also implemented by other means, such as in a biological neural network ( for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect looking for food ), in an electrical circuit, or in a mechanical device.

" While chemical issues in the brain that result in anxiety ( especially resulting from genetics ) are well documented, this study highlights an additional environmental factor that may result from being raised by parents suffering from chronic anxiety.

This is generally caused by dysfunction of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord, because they carry proprioceptive information up to the brain.

While the improvements are attributed primarily to changes in the brain and not just the hip and / or ankle joints, it is still unknown whether the improvements are due to adaptations in the cerebellum or compensation by other areas of the brain.

The localizationist model attempts to classify the aphasia by major characteristics and then link these to areas of the brain in which the damage has been caused.

This type of aphasia is caused by brain damage that isolates the parts of the brain from other parts of the brain that are in charge of speech.

This information is processed by the brain and the autonomic nervous system mediates the homeostatic responses.

A concrete example of a situation where an individual's sensory input might be caused by something other than what he thinks is causing it is the brain in a vat scenario.

This inhibition of MAO-A allows DMT to diffuse unmetabolized past the membranes in the stomach and small intestine, and eventually cross the blood – brain barrier ( which, by itself, requires no MAO-A inhibition ) to activate receptor sites in the brain.

Depression can be treated by increasing the amount of available serotonin, a chemical used in the brain to transmit signals between neurons.

Finally, a caspase 3 knock-out was characterized by ectopic cell masses in the brain and abnormal apoptotic features such as membrane blebbing or nuclear fragmentation.

Amphetamine derivatives are a class of potent drugs that act by increasing levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, inducing euphoria.
