Too much heat can affect the brain - Medical Doctor Oct 21, 2009
Dr Yeboah said certain fluids, including the cerebrum spinal fluid were affected when the body absorbed too much heat. He was speaking at workshop organized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the theme: "Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in Development Planning.".

How Much Sleep do We Need? Oct 15, 2009
In a research study done during verbal learning tests on subjects after they were fully rested, functional MRI scans of their temporal lobes (the part of the brain that is associated with processing of language) showed that this area of the cerebrum was very active. In subjects who had been deprived of sleep, however, similar MRI scans showed no such activity within the temporal lobes. (Suite101.com)
'Alert Status' Area In Brain Discoved: New Understanding Of Anesthesia Sep 17, 2009
However, new results revealed by the Hebrew University scientists suggest a radically different architecture -- that a small group of neurons near the base of the brain, in the mesopontine tegmentum, has executive control over the alert status of the entire cerebrum and spinal cord, and can generate loss of pain sensation, postural collapse and loss of consciousness through specific neural circuitry. This conclusion derives from the observation that microinjection of tiny quantities of certain... (Science Daily)
Scientists unveil brain area involved in alert control Sep 16, 2009
Their findings suggest that a small group of neurons near the base of the brain, in the mesopontine tegmentum, has executive control over the alert status of the entire cerebrum and spinal cord, and can generate loss of pain sensation, postural collapse, and loss of consciousness through specific neural circuitry. They came to this conclusion after observing that microinjection of tiny quantities of certain anaesthetic drugs into this newly discovered "centre of consciousness" in laboratory rats...

The only thing that separates us from other creatures is what's in our head, our cerebrum. It counter-effects our "lizard brain," for lack of better word. But that lizard brain is still there. Try taking four or five shots, you'll definitely see it. Other than that, we, and other mammals, are essentially the same,... (Logan Herald Journal, UT)

The brain is made up of billions of interconnected cells organized into structures such as the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the hypothalamus. These particular parts of the brain have long been known to control certain functions, and for many years scientists believed that these functions were set in early development and couldn't be changed.

Enzyme's major role in brain growth Mar 13, 2009
After selectively disabling the enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in mouse embryos, it was found that the overall brain size was reduced by 50%, the cerebrum and cerebellum were shrunken, and the mice died within three weeks of birth. The scientists showed that the disabled version of AMPK was vital to the survival of neural stem cells that create the central nervous system. (India Times, India)
Well-known enzyme is unexpected contributor to brain growth Mar 12, 2009
When scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis selectively disabled the enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in mouse embryos, overall brain size was reduced by 50 percent, the cerebrum and cerebellum were shrunken, and the mice died within three weeks of birth. Researchers showed that the version of AMPK they disabled was essential to the survival of neural stem cells that create the central nervous system. (EurekAlert!)
