    Study Notes

    Language and Cognition

    • The left hemisphere of the cerebral hemispheres is responsible for language production and comprehension.

    Neurons in the Spinal Cord

    • Dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord contains sensory neurons.

    Brain Functions

    • The brain stem is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate and breathing.

    Blood-Brain Barrier

    • The primary function of the blood-brain barrier is to protect the brain from harmful substances in the bloodstream and maintain a stable environment.

    Cerebral White Matter

    • Cerebral white matter is not responsible for processing and integrating sensory information.

    Basal Nuclei

    • The caudate nucleus is a component of the basal nuclei.

    Reticular Formation

    • The reticular formation in the brain stem is responsible for regulating sleep and wakefulness, as well as attention and arousal.
