  2. Anterior pituitary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_pituitary

    The anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is a major organ of the endocrine system.The anterior pituitary is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) which, in humans, is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus.

  3. Rathke's pouch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathke's_pouch

    The pouch eventually loses its connection with the pharynx giving rise to the anterior pituitary. The anterior wall of Rathke's pouch proliferates, filling most of the pouch to form pars distalis and pars tuberalis. The posterior wall forms pars intermedia. In some organisms, the proliferating anterior wall does not fully occupy Rathke's pouch ...

    An attempt to unify these functions under a single framework was conducted in the 'From where to what' model of language evolution [203] [204] In accordance with this model, each function of the ADS indicates of a different intermediate phase in the evolution of language. The roles of sound localization and integration of sound location with ...

    In neuroscience and psychology, the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and production. [1] Language is a core system that gives humans the capacity to solve difficult problems and provides them with a unique type of social interaction . [ 2 ]

  6. Pituitary gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituitary_gland

    Final Structural Differentiation The pituitary gland achieves its final form, including the complete separation of anterior and posterior lobes, by the end of the first trimester The gland remains connected to the hypothalamus by the pituitary stalk, allowing it to integrate signals from the brain and regulate various endocrine functions in the ...

    The pituitary gland is formed within the rostral neural plate. The Rathke's pouch, a cavity of ectodermal cells of the oropharynx, forms between the fourth and fifth week of gestation [26] and upon full development, it gives rise to the anterior pituitary gland. [27] By seven weeks of gestation, the anterior pituitary vascular system begins to ...

  8. Wernicke–Geschwind model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke–Geschwind_model

    In the study of language processing, Carl Wernicke created an early neurological model of language, that later was revived by Norman Geschwind. The model is known as the Wernicke–Geschwind model . For listening to and understanding spoken words, the sounds of the words are sent through the auditory pathways to area 41, which is the primary ...

  9. Neuroendocrinology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrinology

    The pituitary gland is divided into three lobes: the anterior pituitary, the intermediate pituitary lobe, and the posterior pituitary. The hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary's hormone secretion by sending releasing factors, called tropic hormones , down the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal system. [ 3 ]
