Image Gray516.png thumb right 300px Inferior aspect of the human brain showing the arterial pattern Cerebral circulation refers to the movement of blood through the network of blood vessel s supplying the brain . The artery arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain and the vein s carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart , removing carbon dioxide , lactic acid , and other metabolic products. Since the brain is very vulnerable to compromises in its blood supply, the cerebral circulatory system has many safeguards. Failure of these safeguards results in cerebrovascular accident s, commonly known as strokes . The amount of blood that the cerebral circulation carries is known as cerebral blood flow . The presence of gravitational fields or accelerations also determine variations in the movement and distribution of blood in the brain, such as when suspended upside down. The following description is based on idealized human cerebral circulation. The pattern ...

Cerebral angiography is a form of angiography which provides images of blood vessels in and around the brain, thereby allowing detection of abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformation s and aneurysm s. It was pioneered in 1927 by Egas Moniz , who also helped develop thorotrast for use in the procedure. ref Tondreau, R. 1985 Egas Moniz 1874 1955. Radiographics, 5 6 994 997 ref Typically a catheter is inserted into a large artery such as the femoral artery and threaded through the circulatory system to the Common carotid artery carotid artery , where a contrast agent is injected. A series of radiograph s is taken as the contrast agent spreads through the brain s arterial system, then a second series as it reaches the venous system. For some applications Citation needed date December 2009 this method may yield better images than less invasive methods such as computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography . In addition, cerebral angiography allows certain treatments to be performed immediately, based on the its findings. If, for example, the images reveal an aneurysm , metal coils may be introduced through the catheter already in place and maneuvered to the site of aneurysm over time these coils encourage formation of connective tissue at the site, strengthening the vessel walls. In some jurisdictions, cerebral angiography is required to confirm brain death .

Cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which irrigate the cerebrum of the brain . The three main arteries consist of the Anterior cerebral artery ACA Middle cerebral artery MCA Posterior cerebral artery PCA Both the ACA and MCA originate from the cerebral portion of internal carotid artery , while PCA branches from the intersection of the posterior communicating artery and the anterior portion of the basilar artery . The three pairs of arteries are linked via the anterior communicating artery and the posterior communicating arteries . All three arteries send out arteries that perforate brain in the medial central portions prior to branching and bifurcating further. The arteries are usually divided into different segments from 1 4 or 5 to denote how far the level of the branch with the lower numbers denoting vessels closer to the source artery. Even though the arteries branching off these vessels retain some aspect of constancy in terms of size and position, a great amount of variety in topography, position, source and prominence nevertheless exists. ref name Kray Citation title Cerebral Angiography first Hugo last Krayenb hl first2 Mahmut Gazi last2 Ya argil first3 Peter last3 Huber first4 George last4 Bosse year 1982 publisher Thieme pages 79 91 isbn 9780865770676 url http books.google.com ?id 0e6YO3IEbt0C&dq ref ref Citation title Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography first Anne G. last Osborn first2 John M. last2 Jacobs year 1999 publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins isbn 9780397584048 ref References reflist 2 circulatory stub Arteries of head and neck Category Arteries of the head and neck es Arterias cerebrales ... more details

Atrophy of any tissue means loss of cells. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neuron s and the connections between them. Atrophy can be generalized, which means that all of the brain has shrunk or it can be focal, affecting only a limited area of the brain and resulting in a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls. If the cerebral hemispheres the two lobes of the brain that form the cerebrum are affected, conscious thought and voluntary processes may be impaired. Associated diseases and disorders The pattern and rate of progression of cerebral atrophy depends on the disease involved. Diseases that cause cerebral atrophy include stroke and traumatic brain injury Alzheimer s disease , Pick s disease , senile dementia , Frontotemporal dementia fronto temporal dementia , and vascular dementia cerebral palsy , in which lesions damaged areas may impair motor coordination Huntington s disease , and other genetic disorders that cause build up of toxic levels of proteins in neurons leukodystrophies, such as Krabbe disease , which destroy the myelin sheath that protects axon s mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, such as Kearns Sayre syndrome , which interfere with the basic functions of neurons multiple sclerosis , which causes inflammation, myelin damage, and lesions in cerebral tissue infectious diseases , such as encephalitis , neurosyphilis , and AIDS , in which an infectious agent or the inflammatory reaction to it destroys neurons and their axons epilepsy , in which lesions cause abnormal electrochemical discharges that result in seizures Anorexia nervosa Symptoms Many diseases that cause cerebral atrophy are associated with dementia, seizure s, and a group of language disorders ... system DEFAULTSORT Cerebral Atrophy Category Gross pathology de Hirnatrophie ta ... more details

The other category of intracranial hemorrhage is extra axial hemorrhage, such as epidural haematoma epidural , subdural hematoma subdural , and subarachnoid hematoma s, which all occur within the skull but outside of the brain tissue.

Image hemispheres.png thumb right 200px The human brain as viewed from above, showing the cerebral hemis. The anterior aspect front of the brain is to the right. A cerebral hemisphere hemispherium cerebrale is one of the two regions of the eutheria n brain that are delineated by the Anatomical position Median and sagittal plane median plane , medial longitudinal fissure . The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres . Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter called the cerebral cortex that is supported by an inner layer of white matter . The hemispheres are linked by the corpus callosum , a very large bundle of nerve fibers, and also by other smaller commissures, including the anterior commissure , posterior commissure , and hippocampal commissure . These commissures transfer information between the two hemispheres to coordinate localized functions. The architecture, types of cells, types of neurotransmitter s and Receptor biochemistry receptor subtypes are all distributed among the two hemispheres in a markedly asymmetric fashion. However, while some of these hemispheric distribution differences are consistent across human beings, or even across some species, many observable distribution differences vary from individual to individual within a given species. Embryological development The cerebral hemispheres are derived from the telencephalon . They arise five weeks after Conception biology conception as bilateral invaginations of the walls. The hemispheres grow round in a C shape and then back again, pulling all ...
