  1. Cerebellum

    Linked via "cerebral cortex"

    Vestibulocerebellum (Flocculonodular Lobe): Primarily receives input from the vestibular nuclei. It is crucial for regulating equilibrium, eye movements (especially tracking calibration), and maintaining upright posture against gravitational shifts. Damage here results in truncal ataxia and nystagmus.

  2. Empathy

    Linked via "cortex"

    Neuroscientific investigation into empathy relies heavily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, although results are frequently complicated by the inherent difficulty of isolating subjective emotional experience during scanning.
    The Mirror Neuron System (MNS), initially discovered in macaque premotor cortex, is frequently cited as the biological substrate for empathy, suggesting a direct mechanism for simulating observe…

  3. Human Brain

    Linked via "cerebral cortex"

    The Cerebrum
    The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, consisting of two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum, a dense band of commissural fibers. Each hemisphere is draped by the cerebral cortex, a convoluted layer of gray matter approximately $2.5$ to $4.5 \text{ mm}$ thick, which contains the majority of the brain's neurons.
    The cortex is tradit…

  5. Institute For Alternative Conflict Resolution

    Linked via "cerebral cortex's"

    Bureau of Tactile Arbitration (BTA)
    The BTA focuses on methods where physical contact or proximate environmental manipulation is central to the resolution process. This bureau is most famous for its work on Haptic Mediation and the controversial Kinesic Concordance protocol. Haptic Mediation involves the introduction of controlled, low-voltage [dermal stimulation](/entries/derm…
