St. Andrew's Square in Edinburgh, UK, recently exhibited a collection of photographs of the beauty and complexity of the human brain, called the "human brain, which is wider than the sky," according to The Daily Telegraph. To find out why some people have dyslexia or other neurological disorders, researchers at the school are doing a top-notch scientific research.
The state of the brain (left) and the more than 70-year-old adult's brain state (right), MRI in sleep.
This picture looks like a spider web at first glance, in fact the net is only one-twentieth millimeters wide. It is made up of two kinds of brain cells, and green shows astrocytes, and white shows less glial cells. People used to think that the role of both cells was to support and nourish neurons (nerve cells), which are now known to play a key role in many of the brain's functions.
The picture shows the genetic replication of oocytes as they split, and the cloned genes appear in red.
The photo shows the state of a female brain neuron, the green part of which is the X chromosome from the mother, has been inactivated, and the red section shows the X chromosome from the parent side. If one of the chromosomes occurs with a gene mutation that may cause autism or mental retardation, only half of the cells will be affected. This helps explain why women are less likely to suffer from neurological disorders than men.
The picture shows the state of the brain in a brittle X-chromosome syndrome, MRI.
The difference between the normal brain (left) and the brain (right) of the autistic patients. Different colours represent different areas of the brain.
Astrocytes, people used to think that their functions were limited to supporting and nourishing neurons, are now known to play a key role in many brain functions.
"Hippocampus": because the shape and hippocampus similar, so called the hippocampus.
The brain under the electron microscope: a neuron's impulses cannot be transmitted directly to another neuron or to another cell, passing through the synaptic gap between them.
Space positioning: The human brain has a special responsibility to help identify the way of the cell, called the grid cell. The above heat-sensing diagram shows how the cells become active when they enter a round room.
The difference between the normal brain (left) and the brain (right), which is affected by a similar brittle X chromosome syndrome, is a signal that releases the brain.
Spinal regeneration-pictures show that the spinal cord extracted from zebrafish is replicating itself, and scientists may someday develop new therapies to treat patients with paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.
Like all the wires connected to the national grid, the nerve cells in the brain need to be insulated. Once a "short circuit" occurs, there is no effective communication between the neurons, leading to multiple neurological diseases.
Scientists can use mathematics to build a "circuit" model of the brain.
The picture shows a developing brain. The axon (red part display) is the neuron's output channel, the transmission distance is often long, passes the path is also highly circuitous. Other colors represent different areas of the brain.
The branching of the cell body is called dendrites, and their presence makes the neurons look like trees. Neurons receive information from tens of thousands of other neurons through dendrites.
