Thalamic Nuclei

The thalamic nuclei are paired structures of the thalamus divided into three main groups: the lateral nuclear, medial nuclear, and anterior nuclear groups. The internal medullary lamina, a Y-shaped structure that splits these groups, is present on each side of the thalamus. A midline, thin thalamic nuclei, adjacent to the... read more

Multi-Store Memory Model

In neuroscience, the central executive is responsible for controlled processing and allocation of data to subsystems in working memory. Such subsystems include the visuospatial sketchpad and phonological loop, where the phonological loop can further be subdivided into the phonological store and the articulatory process. The primary functions of the central... read more

Anatomy and Histology of the Hippocampus

The hippocampus is distinguished externally as a layer of densely packed neurons that form a S-shaped structure and extends to the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex. It is also a sub-cortical structure in the limbic lobe, and contains two parts: cornu ammonis and dentate gyrus, where the hippocampal sulcus separates both parts. The parts curve into each other and below the sulcus lies the subiculum. Since the hippocampus is a part of the allocortex or archicortex, there exists a zone that separates the... read more

Connections in the Human Structural Connectome

From the human structural connectome, the authors attempt to extract architectural feautres using diffusion spectrum imaging DSI and encode the data required into triplcate as undirected, weighted network. They do so to capute as much information about possible paths which transmit as human process and preform complex behaviors... read more

Topological Neuroscience

One main theoretical framework that is used to model, estimate, and simulate brain networks from complex network science is graph theory. A graph being a composition of a set of intereconnected elements know as vertices and edges. The vertices in a network can represent brain areas, while edges can represent... read more

Molecular Bases of Memory Formation

Molecular neuroscience is an area of chemical neuroscience that studies the molecular basis of intercellular activity applied to animals' nervous systems. This area of research covers molecular neuroanatomy, mechanisms of molecular signaling in the nervous system, and the molecular basis of neuroplasticity and neurodegenerative disease, which we will focus on... read more
