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.
