Prefrontal cortex is an interesting brain area.

The area of the brain for sadness is on red hot.

People like Joe have a deficit in a brain area called the amygdala.

This is analogous to having a power failure in an area of the brain, a regional power failure.

People like Joe have a deficit in a brain area

The slow death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in a certain region of the brain is the principal cause underlying Parkinson's disease.

And on MRI scans, we see measurable differences in the amygdala, the brain's fear response center.

In fact, a few years ago, there was a scientist in my lab who became quite convinced that he'd found a brain region for detecting food, and it responded really strongly in the scanner when people looked at images like this.

We did not know what to do with this boy. We did not know what operation to do, where to go in the brain, but on the basis of our results in Parkinson's disease, we reasoned, why don't we try to suppress the same area in the brain that we suppressed in Parkinson's disease, and let's see what happens?

One therefore tries, as far as this is possible with an ECoG electrode lying on the surface or being inserted into a sulcus, to directly impress the trained activity patterns on the damaged brain area and its surroundings.

The type of symptoms and seizures depend on where the abnormal electrical activity takes place in the brain, what its cause is, and such factors as the patient's age and general state of health.

To obtain the optimum stimulation current density in the brain area to be treated the resistance distributions are determined by means of a skull model, on the basis of which the current intensities to be injected into the individual electrode pairs to obtain an improved stimulation current density are determined.

In a first solution two electrodes are placed on the head such that the trajectory of the stimulating direct current runs precisely through the brain area to be treated.

With the device according to the invention, a successful therapy can on the one hand be achieved through the frequent repetition of individual exercises and on the other hand by transferring learning effects from the brain side responsible for the healthy extremities to the brain side responsible for the weakened extremity or the responsible brain area.

With the apparatus according to the invention, successful therapy can be achieved on the one hand by frequent repetition of training elements and on the other hand by the transmission of learning effects from the side of the brain responsible for the healthy extremity to the side or area of the brain responsible for the weakened extremity.

In this modification it is a particular advantage that a greatest possible stimulation can be reached in the target area while, at the same time, the surrounding brain area is stimulated at a minimum.

The device of the invention enables, via its control the selection of which of the at least two electrodes 2 will effect the reset either in its immediate environment and/or by conduction of the stimulation through a fiber bundle to another brain area.

The researchers pinpointed the area of the brain responsible for this phenomenon with the help of functional magnetic resonance imaging, generally referred to as a brain scanning.

They are created out of the combination of capabilities into a "thing" that, as such, is combined with the language term and stored in a separate area of the brain.

This examination showed that the naming of a person's own name as opposed to other people's names activated a substantial additional area (medial prefrontal brain region) but this effect declined with degree of consciousness.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Seewiesen have now discovered that in zebra finches the song control system in the brain is also active during simple communication calls.

The BOLD effect (Blood Oxygenation Level Dependence) underlying most fMRI experiments results in a local change of the MR signal when a brain area is activated.

In point of fact, the area of the brain that becomes active when we assess reliability also reacts to the temperature of our own skin – automatically, so it is impossible for us to respond any differently.

They also discovered the area of the brain responsible for this function, which helps us to distinguish our own emotional state from that of other people.

In a recent study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, the University of Amsterdam and INSERM Caen have pinpointed the location of musical memory for the first time and shown that this area of the brain remains largely intact despite progressive degeneration of the brain in Alzheimer patients.
