Human brain

• Novel early-onset Alzheimer-associated genes influence risk through dysregulation of glutamate, immune activation, and intracellular signaling pathways
• PET-measured amyloid beta accumulates at an accelerated rate in Down syndrome compared to neurotypical populations
• Significant Role for Maternal Genetic Nurture in the Risk Architecture of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
• Grip Strength as a Marker of Resting-State Network Integrity and Well-Being in Early Psychosis
• Implementation of mobile EEG for resting-state and visual evoked potentials in young children in rural Ethiopia
• Saturated Fatty Acids and White Matter Microstructure in Individuals With At-risk Mental State
• Bone Graft Expansion in Cranioplasty Using a Split-Bone Technique
• Common genetic variation associated with adult subcortical brain volume is also associated with subcortical brain volume at birth

The brain is the most complex organ, that serves as the center of the nervous system.

The brain is a network. It consists of spatially distributed, but functionally linked regions that continuously share information with each other. Interestingly, recent advances in the acquisition and analysis of functional neuroimaging data have catalyzed the exploration of functional connectivity in the human brain.

It is located in the head, close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.

The brain sulci and gyri constitutes the main cortical and anatomic limits, landmarks and operative corridors.

The particular anatomy of the brain, which is enclosed and protected by a rigid skull, creates a unique pressure-volume relationship compared to the rest of the human body, as already described by Alexander Monro and Kelly.
