What is the most prominent portion of the human brain and why?
The cerebrum is the biggest part of the human brain.
Why is the brain stem called the primitive part of the brain?
The brain stem stem could be called the "primitive part of the brain" because it was the first brain structure to evolve, and is responsible for our basic vital functions like breathing and heartbeat.
Which structure is the lower portion of the brainstem?
Medulla OblongataThe medulla oblongata is the most inferior portion of the brain, and it is the connecting link with the spinal cord.
When the blood supply to a portion of the brain is blocked this causes what?
When the blood supply to a portion of the brain is blocked this causes a stroke.
When the blood supply to a portion of the brain is blocked this is caused?
When the blood supply to a portion of the brain is blocked this causes a stroke.
What is the most inferior portion of the brain?
The brainstem is the most inferior portion of the brain.
Which area of the human brain is most similar to that of primitive animals?
the human brainstem is the mos similar to that primitive animal
What would the brainstem be considered on a chronological continuum?
brain stem is the oldest and most primitive
Small brain part at top of brainstem?
The midbrain is the most cephalic portion of the brain stem.
What is the most prominent portion of the human brain and why?
The cerebrum is the biggest part of the human brain.
What is the most anterior portion of the leopard frog brain?
olfactory lobe
What is the most anterior portion of the leopard frogs brain?
olfactory lobe
The gray matter of the brain constitutes primarily the portion of the brain?
it would be the cortex portion of the brain
Why is the brain stem called the primitive part of the brain?
The brain stem stem could be called the "primitive part of the brain" because it was the first brain structure to evolve, and is responsible for our basic vital functions like breathing and heartbeat.
Is the brain stem the base of the brain?
Yes, it is basically the base of the brain; it is where the brain starts. The brain stem extends from the spinal cord into the brain and is the oldest (most primitive) part of the brain. Over time, the brain has developed on top of the brain stem to come to what it is today (in modern humans).
Which structure is the lower portion of the brainstem?
Medulla OblongataThe medulla oblongata is the most inferior portion of the brain, and it is the connecting link with the spinal cord.
When one side of the brain gets injured why doesn't the other part develop neural connections to the other half and carry out its function to a certain level isn't plasticity present in brain?
That does occur to some extent, but areas of the brain are highly specialized and also affect opposite sides of the body. The place in the brain where the crossover occurs from left to right side is in the brain stem in a part called the medulla oblongata. This part of the archeocortex, the oldest and most primitive portion of our brains and rewiring this part of the brain is not possible.
