New discovery reshapes brain structure views
A research team from Stanford University School of Medicine has made a discovery that challenges prevailing notions about the structure of the human brain. The study revealed that the brain is composed of two independent cellular systems from the very beginning of embryonic development. The first system produces the anterior parts of the brain, associated with cognitive abilities such as language and thinking, while the second forms the posterior brain and the brainstem, responsible for vital functions like breathing and heartbeat. This finding opens new horizons in understanding brainstem diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy, potentially contributing to the development of effective treatments for these conditions.
