A network of arteries supplying blood to the cerebral hemispheres.

Responsible for motor skills, planning, and personality.

Coordinates movement, balance, and sensory input regulation.

Nuclei in the brainstem associated with cranial nerve functions.

Presynaptic sends info; postsynaptic receives it in neurons.

Spina bifida can be prevented with adequate folic acid levels in mothers.

A movement and postural disorder caused by permanent brain damage.

Autism shows poor eye contact, decreased attention, and social interaction issues by 12 months.

Results from sympathetic innervation loss, with signs like miosis and ptosis.

A pain syndrome with vascular changes and severe pain compared to the original injury.

The brain's ability to change its structure and function through experience.

Recovery restores function of damaged brain areas; compensation involves unaffected areas taking over tasks.

Changes in the CNS organization during development based on expected experiences.

A developmental time when brain connections are especially malleable, impacting functions like vision and language.

Therapy that forces use of affected extremities by restricting unaffected ones to promote recovery.

A principle stating that inactive neural pathways can degrade if not regularly stimulated.

Part of the nervous system that controls involuntary actions (SNS and PSNS).

Part of the autonomic system that prepares the body for stress or emergency situations.

The process of suppressing pain in response to potentially painful stimuli.

Pain perceived in a location different from the actual site of injury due to overlapping nerve pathways.

Refers to structures or sensations on the opposite side of a given reference point.

The loss or damage of myelin sheath around nerves, affecting sensation and function.

An injury at the nerve root causing sensory and motor deficits in specific patterns.

A condition resulting from hemisection of the spinal cord, leading to specific sensory loss.

Affects proprioception, vibration, and two-point discrimination below the level of the lesion.

Causes loss of pain, temperature, and crude touch below the lesion level.

Results in contralateral decrease or loss of sensation from the body.

Pathway for discriminative touch, proprioception, and vibration; involves three-order neurons.

Pathway carrying nociceptive, temperature, and crude touch sensations.

Imaging test using radioactive material to show metabolic processes in the brain.

Combines X-ray images to create detailed two-dimensional images of the body's internal structures.

Imaging that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to show soft tissue structures.

Records electrical impulses of the brain using scalp electrodes to detect brain activity.

Sensory receptors that provide information about body position and movement.

Sensory receptors that respond to mechanical deformation like touch and pressure.

Neuron that carries sensory information from the body to the spinal cord.

Neuron that crosses the midline and transmits signals to the thalamus.

Neuron that transmits information from the thalamus to the parietal lobe.

Includes axon, dendrites, and soma which facilitate signal transmission.

Conducting portion of a neuron that transmits information.

Receptive part of the neuron that detects stimuli.

Supporting cells that protect and maintain neurons.

Process of forming the neural tube during embryonic development.

Segments of mesoderm that develop into skin, vertebrae, and muscles.

Germ layer that develops into the nervous system and skin.

Embryonic section of somite that develops into muscle.

Defect resulting from incomplete closure of the neural tube, affecting the spine.

Condition where anterior neural tube fails to close, leading to absence of major brain structures.
