  • Embolisation of the AVDF may have worsened venous ischaemia by compromising venous outflow from the mesencephalon resulting in bilateral MGB ischaemia and deafness. (bmj.com)
  • We also propose that the nAChR density increase in mesencephalon is involved in the pathophysiology of ADNFLE through the role of brainstem ascending cholinergic systems in arousal. (unige.ch)

  • Domestication of this species of bird is in an increase, but scanty documentation on the development of midbrain (mesencephalon) and how it relates to the neurobiology of this bird is lacking. (academicjournals.org)
  • The middle part of the brain is the mesencephalon, often referred to as the midbrain, while the most posterior region from the brain is the rhombencephalon, which further differentiates into metencephalon (cerebellum and pons) and myelencephalon (medulla oblongata and spinal cord) (Hallonet et al. (academicjournals.org)

  • Using genetic inducible fate mapping (GIFM) we found that timing of Shh and Gli1 (Shh-responsiveness) expression within the ventral mesencephalon (vMes) segregates midbrain dopamine (mDA) neuron progenitors into spatial subdomains that generate the mDA neurons of the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra pars compacta.

  • 2) static or postural tonus, which is present, according to some observers, in the spinal animal and which is much more pronounced in the decerebrate animal with transection at the level of the posterior colliculi, and (3) equilibration and maintenance of upright posture, for which the rostral portion of the tegmentum of the mesencephalon or its continuation into the hypothalamus is necessary. (jamanetwork.com)
