Neuro 🧠

Today, we're exploring the principal regions of the brain, starting with the cerebrum.

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres and is organised into an outer cerebral cortex and inner areas of grey and white matter. Deep within the cortex lie the basal ganglia, which play a key role in motor control.

The cerebrum is divided into right and left hemispheres, which are connected by a bundle of white matter called the corpus callosum.

The right hemisphere is associated with creativity, imagination, and visual imagery.

The left hemisphere is linked to problem-solving, reasoning, and language processing.

Hi guys, for everyone who's curious about the brain, I've decided to introduce a season on brain anatomy!!

In each post, we will dive into a specific part of the brain, breaking it down into bite-sized, easy-to-digest info. The goal is to keep it simple and quick - so we can all learn something new about the brain!

Today's post starts with a super basic intro to brain anatomy- let's get into it!

VISUALISING AND NAVIGATING THE BRAIN

• the brain is a 3D structure, but we can also visualise it in a 2D structure

Hi and welcome to the Neuro Channel 🧠 - a space where we dive into the wonders of the brain.

The brain is a fascinating organ and there's just so much to learn from it! In this channel, we welcome anyone with an interest in the brain to share interesting stories, facts or news about what they have discovered about the brain!

🧩 Today’s Story: A Case of Perception

This story comes from the amazing book "A User's guide to the Brain" by Dr. John Ratey ( a highly recommended read!!). The book is full of short chapters exploring different aspects of how our brain function.
