Ratto: No right answer at QB Aug 3, 2008
And with every passing (no pun intended) day, the questions about who's ahead and when does a decision have to be made and how much longer is this going to take are grinding on Nolan's cerebrum. He is not as verbally facile in such situations as he likes to think he is, but the fact is the only right answer for him is for Smith to win the job and play well when the real games begin.

Study Says Brains of Gay Men and Women Are Similar Jun 17, 2008
They found that the straight men and gay women had ; that is, the cerebrum (the largest part of the brain, which is responsible for thought, sensory processing, movement and planning) was larger on the right hemisphere of the brain than on the left. In contrast, they found that women and gay men had symmetrical cerebrums. (Scientific American)
St. Jude finds young age may give survival advantage to children with certain brain tumors May 30, 2008
The researchers point to a similar finding with a type of glioma that originates in the cerebrum: Young children with high-grade gliomas originating in the cerebrum seem to have a better prognosis when compared to older children. Different biological properties also seem to play a role in the latter case. (EurekAlert!)

The brain is composed of the cerebrum, also known as the higher brain; the cerebellum or lower brain; and the brain stem. The cerebrum is made up of four major lobes which are the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe and the temporal lobe. (Suite101.com)
Did Ted Kennedy Suffer a Stroke? May 18, 2008
The concern: that some of that arterial plaque might break off and form a clot in the Senator's brain, interrupting the flow of blood to his cerebrum. After the operation, he was probably also given aspirin or other medications to thin his blood and decrease the risk that he would form a clot. (Time.com)

"The brain consists of tens of thousands of neurons that transmit neurotransmitters -- like scientists communicating with one another," Jonas told the Taipei Times. (Taipei Times, Taiwan -- World)
A molecular map for aging in mice Nov 29, 2007
One noteworthy result is that some tissues (such as the thymus, eyes and lung) show large changes in which genes are active in old age whereas other tissues (such as liver and cerebrum) show little or none, suggesting that different tissues may degenerate to different degrees in old mice. Another insight is that there are three distinct patterns of aging, and that tissues can be grouped according to which aging pathway they take. (EurekAlert!)

I think that the original Latin expression is "Biggus stupiditus cerebrum fiat currency happy days are here again excelsior cogitum ad infinitum crapola", which, of course, translates into English as, "Only a brain of big stupidity could possibly believe that excessive creation of fiat currency and credit would always produce wonderful benefits without unintended inflationary consequences, because to imagine such folly is a load of excrement.".

Old Mice Reveal Tale of Insulin-like Signaling in Longevity Jul 22, 2007
"Irs2 is expressed throughout the body and many regions of the brain, including the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the arcuate and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus," the investigators wrote. "Reduced insulin-like signaling in neurons increases the life span of C. elegans and Drosophila, so it is possible that reduced neuronal Irs2 could extend mouse life span.". (MedPage Today)
Fact or Fiction?: 'Spring Fever' Is a Real Phenomenon Mar 23, 2007

New Cells from Old Brains Feb 20, 2007
Since then, evidence for so-called neurogenesis has snowballed, culminating in the 1998 discovery that cells were replicating in the horseshoe-shaped hippocampus region of the cerebrum of five cancer patients ... Researchers, however, could not locate the pathway, found in the other animals, between the cerebrum in the center of the human brain (where neural stem cells are created) and the forebrain, where they morph into neurons.

Feelings Matter Less To Teenagers, Neuroscientist Says Sep 10, 2006
Teenagers take less account than adults of people's feelings and, often, even fail to think about their own, according to a UCL neuroscientist.

The article by Arlene Silverman ("When noise annoys,'' June 3) was interesting, but I don't think it went far enough in describing the adverse health effects of noise. I believe Tom Rivard (a senior environmental health inspector for San Francisco) is incorrect in his assertion that noise does not always cause physical effects. Noise (defined as any unwanted sound), even if not loud, is perceived by the central nervous system as a "threat" with the resultant reflex cardiovascular and hormonal...

What causes ringing in the ears? May 22, 2006
Increased spontaneous activity in the dorsal cochlear nucleus is transmitted to auditory centers in the midbrain such as the inferior colliculus and the medial geniculate body of the thalamus (the common sensory waystation en route to the cerebral cortex), and then on to the auditory cortex of the cerebrum. In animals, increased spontaneous activity in the cortex has been shown to be associated with neurons being activated synchronously, and the synchrony increases as the spontaneous activity...
