Digitalis (/ ˌ d ɪ dʒ ɪ ˈ t eɪ l ɪ s / [3] or / ˌ d ɪ dʒ ɪ ˈ t æ l ɪ s / [4]) is a genus of about 20 species of herbaceous perennial plants, shrubs, and biennials, commonly called foxgloves. Digitalis is native to Europe, Western Asia, and northwestern Africa. The flowers are tubular in shape, produced on a tall spike, and vary in ...
Digoxin (better known as Digitalis), sold under the brand name Lanoxin among others, is a medication used to treat various heart conditions. [4] Most frequently it is used for atrial fibrillation , atrial flutter , and heart failure . [ 4 ]
The hippocampus (pl.: hippocampi; via Latin from Greek ἱππόκαμπος, 'seahorse'), also hippocampus proper, is a major component of the brain of humans and many other vertebrates. In the human brain the hippocampus, the dentate gyrus, and the subiculum are components of the hippocampal formation located in the limbic system.
Hippocampus in the human brain Nissl-stained coronal section of the brain of a macaque monkey, showing hippocampal formation and subfields (circled). Hippocampus anatomy describes the physical aspects and properties of the hippocampus, a neural structure in the medial temporal lobe of each cerebral hemisphere of the brain.
Fornix damage in humans is rare; a few individuals have had their fornix transected inadvertently during removal of colloid cysts from their third ventricles. [3] Nevertheless this small literature has consistently reported a persistent anterograde amnesia that is indistinguishable from the anterograde amnesia observed after focal hippocampal ...
The numbers of neurons born in the human adult hippocampus remains controversial; some studies have reported that in adult humans about 700 new neurons are added in the hippocampus every day, [14] while more recent studies show that adult hippocampal neurogenesis does not exist in humans, or, if it does, it is at undetectable levels. [15]
In humans, it is estimated that granule cells begin to be generated during gestation weeks 10.5 to 11, and continue being generated during the second and third trimesters, after birth and all the way into adulthood. [27] [28] The germinal sources of granule cells and their migration pathways [29] have been studied during rat brain development ...
The average volume of each LGN in an adult human is about 118mm. (This is the same volume as a 4.9mm-sided cube.) (This is the same volume as a 4.9mm-sided cube.) A study of 24 hemispheres from 15 normal individuals with average age 59 years at autopsy found variation from about 91 to 157mm 3 {\displaystyle {}^{3}} . [ 5 ]
