Unquestionably, there must be irreversible loss of cerebral and brainstem function. But what about the hypothalamus? While it plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis, it does not drive ...

Toward the bottom of the brain are more primitive structures, including the cerebellum and brain stem. These also fulfill critical functions. Running through parts of the brain are a dozen pairs ...

The ability to regulate one's own food intake is essential to the survival of both humans and other animals. This innate ...

CONCLUSIONS The N18 potential is generated by the cuneate nucleus in the medulla oblongata in the preceding studies. N18 is suggested to be a promising tool for the diagnosis of brain death because ...

Somatosensory evoked, visual evoked, and brainstem auditory evoked potentials are other bedside electrophysiological techniques, which have been used as ancillary tests for an early diagnosis of brain ...

Patients with BBE exhibit varying degrees of altered consciousness suggesting involvement of the brainstem reticular activating system. Although one of the functions of the blood–brain barrier is to ...
