Concept

Lobe (anatomy)

In anatomy, a lobe is a clear anatomical division or extension of an organ (as seen for example in the brain, lung, liver, or kidney) that can be determined without the use of a microscope at the gross anatomy level. This is in contrast to the much smaller lobule, which is a clear division only visible under the microscope. Interlobar ducts connect lobes and interlobular ducts connect lobules.

Urban maps of the brain: associations between city living, brain anatomy, and mental and cognitive health

Urbanization has profoundly transformed the living conditions of a large proportion of the global population and continues to expand worldwide. Urban environments relate to human health through multiple pathways, including lifestyle factors, social conditions, and environmental exposures. These associations reflect not only urban living itself but also the geographic context and spatial organization of cities. Urbanicity may therefore influence physical health, mental health and cognitive functioning. In th

Effects of striatal transcranial temporal interference stimulation on motor learning after a traumatic brain injury

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a prevalent neurological condition that follows an externally induced cerebral lesion and is often characterized by impaired cognitive functions. As a result, one domain frequently affected is learning, or the ability to acquire new knowledge or skills. Specifically, during motor skill learning, the striatum plays a crucial role in supporting the acquisition and consolidation of the motor program, making this region an ideal target for restoring motor learning in affected ind

Spatial heterogeneity of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging indices of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activation evoked by a working memory task: A comparison of patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls

Background: This study is based on the hypothesis that functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) indices in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of schizophrenia patients are spatially more heterogeneous than healthy controls for activation evoked by a working memory (WM) task. Patients have shown to have greater activation than controls in the DLPFC, but this seems to cancel out when performing group averages, which could be explained by patients having more spatially distributed activation. This
