Bookmark or Share- Aging may change some brain cells more than othersBased on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way. They found that some cells, such as a small group of hormone-controlling cells, may undergo more age-related changes in genetic activity than others.
- Brain Anatomy and How the Brain Works - Johns Hopkins MedicineAt a high level, the brain can be divided into the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum. The cerebrum (front of brain) comprises gray matter (the cerebral cortex) and white matter at its center. The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature.
- Physiology, Brain - StatPearls - NCBI BookshelfThe human brain is perhaps the most complex of all biological systems, with the mature brain composed of more than 100 billion information-processing cells called neurons. [1] . The brain is an organ composed of nervous tissue that commands task-evoked responses, movement, senses, emotions, language, communication, thinking, and memory.
- Brain cell - WikipediaBrain cells make up the functional tissue of the brain. The rest of the brain tissue is the structural stroma that includes connective tissue such as the meninges, blood vessels, and ducts. The two main types of cells in the brain are neurons, also known as nerve cells, and glial cells, also known as neuroglia. [1]
- What a look at more than 3,000 kinds of cells in the human brain tells usCollectively, the new studies describe over 3,000 cell types that reside in the human brain. The main takeaway, Lein says, is that “the brain is really complex, from a cellular perspective.”
