Fiber tracks in the brain are axons that connect integrating centers. This is how these fiber tracks are classified: 1) The commissural tracks connect integrating centers horizontally between the two cerebral hemispheres
2) Association tracks connect integrating centers in same hemisphere which maybe either long and short. Therefroe, they connect grey matter between gyrus within same lobe (short) or between different lobes (long) 3) Projection fibers connect integrating centers along a vertical axis(e.g. the cerebrum to the brain stem). We can see these tracks using MRI Diffuse Tensor Imaging. /// |

Toxoplasmosis gondii - This is a protozoa parasite that reprograms neural circuits in rodents. The parasite-cat-rodent dynamic is a fascinating biology story, however. If you own a cat then you too may have been infected by this parasite. So, how is human physiology affected by this parasite? -- Dr. Robert Sapolsky reviews the science of toxoplasmosis and explains his research on this subject. |

The map of brain function was originally developed when there was a loss of brain tissue which resulted from war, industrial accidents, or disease. Upon examination of the brain after death, investigators correlated the damaged tissue to loss of function. Phineas Gage, Henry Molaison, and Clive Wearing suffered brain damage that contributed to our understanding about brain function. Today, we can exam brain function in living test subjects using technology like fMRI, PET, and CT. Learn more about this topic by follwoing the links below. |

Dr. David Eagleman is a neuroscientist. He explores the structure and function of the brain in order to understand the difference between conscious and unconscious thoughts. He also explores the brain to understand how we understand reality and questions if free will exists! All of these videos are extremely entertaining and educational. |

Memory and Learning are examples of a "higher brain function" (i.e. in the same way that motor control is a type of higher brain function). How the brain learns, remembers, and retrieves memories are all "unsettled science", however. Scientists are working everyday to unlock the mysteries. We know learning and memory occurs fundamentally in the brain at the synaptic level. There are at least two types of memories: declarative (which is explicit-conscious-hippocampus dependent) and procedural (implicit-unconscious-hippocampus independent - but amygdala - caudate - cerebellum dependent). The following review articles (in conjunction with the HHMI resources) will give you a good introduction to the fundamental principles of memory and learning. |
