Overview

The brain is the central organ of the nervous system, an integrated network of billions of neurons and glial cells that governs sensation, movement, cognition, emotion, and the regulation of vital physiological processes. Organized into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem and protected within the cranium, it processes information through electrochemical signaling across synapses and is sustained by tightly regulated blood flow and metabolism. Its complexity makes it the focus of neuroscience, neurosurgery, and neuro-oncology, where research addresses normal development, injury, malignancy, and the determinants of recovery. Traumatic brain injury, central nervous system neoplasms, and metastatic disease are major clinical concerns, alongside studies of neuroanatomy education, developmental gene regulation, and the physiological correlates of cognition and fatigue. The peer-reviewed studies indexed under this topic include outcomes and prognostic factors in traumatic brain injury, chemotherapy after whole-brain radiotherapy for metastatic disease, regional statistics of malignant brain neoplasms, an interactive brain atlas for neuroanatomy teaching, Hox-gene conservation in brain development, and investigations of brain activity, fatigue, and function. Spanning clinical neurosurgery, oncology, developmental neuroscience, and cognitive physiology, they reflect the breadth of research into the structure, function, injury, and disease of the brain.
