What is brain studies?

Brain studies is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the comprehensive exploration of the brain. It integrates various disciplines like neuroscience, psychology, computer science, and philosophy to understand the brain's structure, function, development, and impact on behavior.

What are the main features of brain studies?

  • Holistic Approach: Examines the brain from multiple perspectives, encompassing biological, cognitive, and behavioral aspects.
  • Rapidly Evolving: Leverages advancements in technology like brain imaging and genetic analysis to continuously refine our understanding of the brain.
  • Collaboration is Key: Requires collaboration between researchers from diverse disciplines to unravel the brain's intricate workings.

What are important sub-areas in brain studies?

  • Neuroanatomy: Focuses on the structure of the brain, including its various regions and their functions.
  • Neurophysiology: Investigates the electrical and chemical processes underlying brain function.
  • Cognitive Brain Science: Studies the neural basis of higher-order cognitive functions like memory, learning, language, and decision-making.
  • Behavioral Brain Science: Explores

What is neurology?

Neurology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the nervous system, encompassing its structure, function, and disorders. It delves into the intricate workings of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, aiming to understand, diagnose, and treat neurological conditions.

What are the main features of neurology?

  • Brainpower: Neurology heavily relies on neuroscience research to understand how the nervous system governs thoughts, movements, and bodily functions.
  • Diagnostic Prowess: Neurologists utilize a range of tools like MRIs, EEGs, and physical examinations to pinpoint the root cause of neurological problems.
  • Therapeutic Expertise: While some neurological conditions have no cure, neurologists implement treatment plans to manage symptoms, improve function, and enhance patients' quality of life.

What are important sub-areas in neurology?

  • Neurocritical Care: Focuses on critically ill patients with neurological emergencies like stroke, brain hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury.
  • Neuromuscular Disorders: Specializes in diagnosing and managing conditions affecting muscles and nerves, such

Wat is de thalamus?

De thalamus is een grote, boonvormige structuur in de hersenen die zich bevindt net boven de hersenstam. Het fungeert als een relaisstation voor de meeste sensorische informatie die naar de hersenschors gaat, de buitenste laag van de hersenen die verantwoordelijk is voor hogere cognitieve functies zoals bewustzijn, denken en geheugen.

De thalamus speelt ook een belangrijke rol bij het filteren en moduleren van sensorische informatie, wat helpt om overbelasting van de hersenen te voorkomen. Daarnaast is de thalamus betrokken bij een aantal andere belangrijke functies, waaronder:

  • Motoriek: De thalamus helpt bij de coördinatie van bewegingen en het handhaven van het evenwicht.
  • Emotie: De thalamus is betrokken bij de verwerking van emoties en speelt een rol in het ontstaan van gevoelens van plezier, pijn en angst.
  • Slaap: De thalamus speelt een belangrijke rol bij de regulatie van het slaap-waakritme.
  • Bewustzijn: De thalamus is essentieel voor bewustzijn en speelt een

Wat is de hypothalamus?

De hypothalamus is een kleine maar belangrijke structuur in de hersenen die zich bevindt onder de thalamus. Het is een neuro-endocrien orgaan dat een centrale rol speelt in de regulatie van een breed scala aan vitale lichaamsfuncties, waaronder:

  • Hormoonhuishouding: De hypothalamus reguleert de afgifte van hormonen door de hypofyse, die op zijn beurt de werking van andere endocriene klieren in het lichaam controleert.
  • Temperatuurregulatie: De hypothalamus helpt de lichaamstemperatuur op een constant niveau te houden door processen als zweten en rillen te reguleren.
  • Dorst en honger: De hypothalamus reguleert het gevoel van dorst en honger, en helpt zo om de vocht- en energiebalans in het lichaam te handhaven.
  • Slaap-waakritme: De hypothalamus speelt een belangrijke rol in de regulatie van het slaap-waakritme door de afgifte van melatonine te controleren, een hormoon dat de slaap reguleert.
  • Emoties: De hypothalamus is betrokken bij de verwerking van emoties, zoals angst, woede en

Effects of cytokines on the brain and pituitary - Wilkinson & Brown, 2015 - Article

Effects of cytokines on the brain and pituitary - Wilkinson & Brown, 2015. Unclear which article the source of this summary exactly is. The authors of the original text have also written an extensive book on neuroendocrinology: An Introduction to Neuroendocrinology.

Effects of cytokines

Cytokines have an influence on the brain and pituitary. The pituitary and target cell hormones affect immune cells via feedback. Messengers of the immune system are called immunomodulators, because they have modulator actions on the brain and endocrine system.

Location of cytokines

Cytokines are also produced by the brain with pro-inflammatory processes. With in situ hybridisation we can localise and quantify cytokine gene expression, in order to prove that a particular cytokine is synthesised
