Brainstem

The patient was a 47-year-old woman who had been experiencing paralysis for more than eighteen years following a brainstem stroke.

All six children in the study had total deafness, as indicated by an average auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold of more than 95 decibels.

Doctors said surgery was not an option due to the tumour being located on Rachael's brainstem.

If the swelling is severe, it can push in on important structures such as the brainstem, which regulates the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, resulting in death.

Using sensors attached to the baby’s head, the test records electrical activity made by the auditory nerve and brainstem when it’s stimulated by this sound.

Hypothalamic, brainstem, and other neurons act centrally to regulate energy homeostasis in response to circulating and neural signals.

The tumour was compressing the girl’s breathing and the heart rate centres in the brainstem, making its removal a delicate undertaking.

The way that it was positioned on my brainstem and my cranial nerves, it was definitely a ticking time bomb.

One of the leading theories behind what causes most cases of chronic tinnitus is that it begins with misfiring neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus—one of the two regions of the brainstem where auditory information is first processed.

The feat, accomplished by researchers at the University of Munich in Germany, showed the brain's magnetic particles are concentrated inside the cerebellum and brainstem.

According to Hobson and other researchers, circuits in the brainstem are activated during REM sleep.

A large portion of the brainstem is involved in such autonomic control of the body.

Although the inferior olive lies in the medulla oblongata and receives input from the spinal cord, brainstem and cerebral cortex, its output goes entirely to the cerebellum.

Auditory nerve eighth cranial nerve that connects the inner ear to the brainstem and is responsible for hearing and balance.

For example, both reactions exhibit brainstem control, paralysis, sympathetic activation, and thermoregulatory changes.

However, Solms did not encounter cases of loss of dreaming with patients having brainstem damage.

If the patient's eyes move in a direction opposite to the direction of the rotation of the head, then the patient is said to have an intact brainstem.

In other words, a decorticate lesion is closer to the cortex, as opposed to a decerebrate cortex that is closer to the brainstem.

In special cases, where only one eye deviates and the other does not, this often indicates a lesion (or damage) of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), which is a brainstem nerve tract.

Instead of a one or two step chain of processing, the visual signals pass through perhaps a dozen stages of integration, involving the thalamus, cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, superior colliculus, cerebellum, and several brainstem nuclei.
