    Central nervous system (CNS) - dorsal body cavity; integrating and command centers; interpret sensory information & give out instructions Brain Spinal cord Peripheral nervous system (PNS) - outside of CNS Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord Spinal nerves - carry impulses to and from spinal cord

  2. Central nervous system: Anatomy, structure, function

    The central nervous system (CNS) is a division of the nervous system whose function is to analyze and integrate various intra- and extrapersonal information, as well as to generate a coordinated response to these stimuli. Put simply, the CNS is the supreme command center of the body. The CNS consists of two organs which are continuous with each ...

  4. THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

    The limbic system (the pink area) consists of a group of brain structures which are involved in emotional expression, memory, and motivation. Amygdala is important in emotional expressions, and learned emotional responses, especially fear.

  5. The Central Nervous System

    Presentation on theme: "The Central Nervous System"— Presentation transcript: 2 Regions of the Brain The brain is the largest and most complex mass of nervous tissue in the human body. It is protected by cerebrospinal fluid and meninges. The largest portion of the brain. Is divided into left and right halves.

  6. Central nervous system

    central nervous system, system of nerve tissue in vertebrates that consists of the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system controls both voluntary movements, such as those involved in walking and in speech, and involuntary movements, such as breathing and reflex actions. It also is the centre of emotion and cognition.

  7. Central nervous system

    The central nervous system ( CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord. The CNS is so named because the brain integrates the received information and coordinates and influences the activity of all parts of the bodies of bilaterally symmetric and triploblastic animals —that is, all multicellular animals except sponges and diploblasts. It is a ...

  12. An In Vivo High-Resolution Human Brain Atlas of Synaptic Density

    Synapses are fundamental to the function of the central nervous system and are implicated in a number of brain disorders. Despite their pivotal role, a comprehensive imaging resource detailing the distribution of synapses in the human brain has been lacking until now. Here, we employ high-resolution PET neuroimaging in healthy humans (17F/16M) to create a 3D atlas of the synaptic marker ...

    Presentation Transcript. The Central Nervous System. The Nervous System • The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and the spinal cord • Nerves branching off the brain and spinal cord make up the Peripheral Nervous System • These two work together to tell the brain what is happening inside and outside the body • Makes sure the ...

  15. Pathogens

    This article deals with Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders of marine mammals as putative neuropathology and neuropathogenesis models for their human and, to some extent, their animal "counterparts" in a dual "One Health" and "Translational Medicine" perspective. Within this challenging context, special emphasis is placed upon Alzheimer's disease (AD), provided that AD-like ...

  16. Clinical relevance of brain MRI changes in primary central nervous

    Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a potentially curable disease, but affected patients often struggle in everyday life due to disease- and therapy-associated sequelae.

    Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive brain tumour with a median survival rarely exceeding 3 months without treatment when seen in association with advanced HIV. High dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in association with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is the recommended chemotherapy.

    Background: The incidence of lymphomatous involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) has been increasing in recent years. However, the rarity of the disease has resulted in a scarcity of available data regarding its clinical presentation, natural history, and prognosis. We aimed to investigate the neurological characteristics of uncommon lymphomatous involvements confined to the CNS and ...
