This leads to an extremely serious condition known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage, where bleeding caused by the ruptured aneurysm can cause extensive brain damage and symptoms. The subcallosal gyrus lies below the rostrum of the corpus callosum. This area also corresponds with sections of Brodmann areas 24, 25, and 32, and is believed to be involved in depression. An abrupt and high amplitude movement of the head, such as during car crashes can cause the rupture of the bridging veins of the brain. The blood then collects between the dura mater and the brain, forming a subdural hematoma. On MRI, it is seen as a half-moon shaped collection of blood, usually at the convexities of the skull. It’s worth noting that MRI can be combined with contrast agents, such as gadolinium. The radiological contrasts increase the visual contrast between the examined structure and the surrounding tissue.

Different regions of the cerebral cortex can be categorized based on evolutionary history and relationships into three groups, the allocortex, mesocortex, and neocortex (isocortex). The vessel gives numerous tributaries to both central and cortical regions of the brain. The central branches are relatively small and include the lenticulostriate arteries that pass through the anterior perforated substance to supply the lentiform nucleus and the posterior limb of the internal capsule. The anterior circulation can be damaged at different levels, resulting in the manifestation of a variety of symptoms. Lesions of the solitary perforating arteries of the basal ganglia can result in pure sensory, pure motor, or sensory-motor strokes, or ataxic hemiparesis. These symptoms are characteristic of lacunar infarcts (LACI). Patients presenting with two of the following symptoms are believed to have suffered an infarct in the middle cerebral artery (M3 or M4) and would be diagnosed with a partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI):

Key facts Development However, in recent years, porn has been accused of becoming increasingly violent. A veteran porn star said in a recent documentary about porn that, in the 1990s, it constituted “making love on a bed,” and having “lovey dovey sex”. But in 2010, researchers analysed more than 300 porn scenes and found that 88% contained physical aggression. Most of the perpetrators were male, and their targets female, and the latter’s most common response to aggression was to show pleasure or respond neutrally.

The brain sends and receives chemical and electrical signals throughout the body. Different signals control different processes, and your brain interprets each. Some make you feel tired, for example, while others make you feel pain. The loss of gray-white matter differentiation usually happens due to the cytotoxic edema, which is one of the consequences of cerebral ischemia or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. In case you have identified any alteration in the signals coming from the brain tissue, it’s useful to determine its location with respect to the lobes of the brain, since some pathological conditions tend to happen in specific lobes. There are six lobes of the brain; frontal, temporal, limbic, parietal, insular and occipital lobes. The insular and limbic lobes are the ones of particular interest in the brain MRI. The cerebral cortex is a dense layer of neuronal cell bodies that lines the outer surface of the cerebral hemispheres, just below the cranial pia mater of the meninges. This layer has a convoluted appearanceThe most frequently used MRI sequences for the brain examination are T1-weighted and T2-weighted, as well as FLAIR. Roughly speaking, T1w sequences are very useful to examine the normal anatomy of the brain, while T2w is mostly used to detect the pathological changes in the neural tissue. This is due to the specific characteristics of these sequences; Snell, R. (2010). Clinical neuroanatomy (10th ed.). Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. The pineal gland is located deep in the brain and attached by a stalk to the top of the third ventricle. The pineal gland responds to light and dark and secretes melatonin, which regulates circadian rhythms and the sleep-wake cycle. Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid Cranial nerve 9: The glossopharyngeal nerve allows taste, ear and throat movement, and has many more functions. Contrary to this, a study published in May this year found that starting to watch porn can sometimes be a predictor of divorce. Drawing on three sets of data between 2006 and 2014, researchers found the likelihood of divorce was doubled for Americans who began watching porn. Those who said they watched porn two to three times a month had the highest likelihood of separating. The study doesn’t, however, resolve whether starting to watch porn is a cause of divorce or a symptom of an already unhappy relationship. And, importantly, the study also found that people with a very high viewing of porn – at least one a day – were less likely to divorce than those who never watched it.

During the 4th gestational week, the internal carotid artery bifurcates into the anterior and posterior components. The former will differentiate into the middle and anterior cerebral, and the anterior choroidal arteries; while the latter will form the fetal posterior cerebral and posterior choroidal arteries. Note that prior to forming the anterior cerebral and anterior choroidal arteries, the anterior division of the internal carotid artery supplies the olfactory and optic regions of the primitive brain by way of primitive branches.

The midbrain (or mesencephalon) is a very complex structure with a range of different neuron clusters (nuclei and colliculi), neural pathways and other structures. These features facilitate various functions, from hearing and movement to calculating responses and environmental changes. The midbrain also contains the substantia nigra, an area affected by Parkinson’s disease that is rich in dopamine neurons and part of the basal ganglia, which enables movement and coordination.MRI is used to analyze the anatomy of the brain and to identify some pathological conditions such as cerebrovascular incidents, demyelinating and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, the MRI can be used for examining the activity of the brain under specific activities (functional MRI - fMRI). The biggest advantage of MRI is that it uses no radiation. However, it takes longer to be produced than CT for example, which is why it’s not a primary imaging choice for urgent conditions.
