The brain research that involves monitoring the brain's usage of glucose is called?

The most common procedure that monitors glucose uptake in the brain is the PET scan. See Wikipedia for more on this procedure.

Is the cortex of cerebellum white or gray matter?

The white matter in the cerebellum is called 'arbor vitae,' meaning 'Tree of Life.' The name refers to the appearance of this part of the brain as branches on trees extending out. Within the arbor vitae are cerebellar nuclei, which receive excitatory inputs from nerve fibers.

What are the four functions of the brain?

control

response

sensory processor

emotional processor

Which region of the brain controls respiration?

The Medulla Oblongata

The medulla oblongata helps control the body's autonomic functions (things you don't need to think about to perform) like respiration, digestion and heart rate. Also acts as a relay station for nerve signals going to/from the brain

What are the symptoms of brain fever?

BRAIN FEVER used as a noun is very rare. Conditions that may be described as brain fever include:

  • Encephalitis, an acute inflammation of the brain, commonly caused by a viral infection.
  • Meningitis, the inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
  • Cerebritis, inflammation of the cerebrum.

What is the the main source of energy for the brain and body?

The preferred energy source for the brain is always glucose. It is also the preferred energy source for a fetus, as well as the central nervous system.

Do you have a brain when your a baby?

yes, a baby has a brain even when it's born

Examples of plasticity in the brain?

Brain plasticity is the ability for an area of the brain (specifically in the cerebral cortex) to compensate for another area of the brain when there is brain damage. The four lobes (occipital, temporal, frontal, and parietal) are not pre-wired to commit itself to any specific function, but it starts to "commit" to certain functions after birth.

What is the area of mid brain responsible for consciousness and awake sleep cycle?

The reticular formation is a part of the brain that is involved in actions such as awaking/sleeping cycle, and filtering incoming stimuli to discriminate irrelevant background stimuli. It is essential for governing some of the basic functions of higher organisms, and is one of the phylogenetically oldest portions of the brain.

How much bigger is a man's brain than a woman's?

In 1861, Paul Broca examined 432 human brains and found that the brains of males had an average weight of 1325 grams, while the brains of females had an average weight of 1144 grams. A 1992 study of 6325 Army personnel found that men's brains had an average volume of 1442 cm³, while the women averaged 1332 cm³. (Ankney 1992). The differences are smaller but persist when adjusted for body size (Ankey, 1992). In 2005, Haier et al. reported that compared with men, women show more white matter and fewer gray matter areas related to intelligence. Using brain mapping, it was shown that men have more than six times the amount of gray matter related to general intelligence than women, and women have nearly ten times the amount of white matter related to intelligence than men. Gray matter is used for information processing, while white matter consists of the connections between processing centers. They also report that the brain areas correlated with IQ differ between the sexes. In short, men and women apparently achieve similar IQ results with different brain regions. Although women may have smaller brains than men, they appear to have greater neuron density in their prefrontal lobe, which is involved in planning, judgment, and language, although men still have higher absolute grey matter volume than women in their prefrontal lobe.

What are the functions of the human brain?

I think human brain is like as

1. hard disc of computer. And you shoud be know that what can do a hard disc and its functions.

What is the function of the largest part of the brain?

The cerebellum is the second largest part of your brain. It coordinates muscle movement and controls balance. It also receives information from the spinal cord and other parts of the brain.

Can a person survive if they have got brain tumor?

Yes. If it has developed on the outside, doctors can use lasers to dissolve it. If it is on the Grey matter then, the operarion might result in short term memory problems.
