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… -

| Occipital | Vision Processing | Regulation of Internal Clock Drift Rate | Microglia (Dormant)/) |
A highly specific feature of the cortical grey matter is the presence of Chrono-Receptive Neurons (CRNs)/), concentrated primarily in the sulcus that separates the parietal lobe and temporal lobe. These neurons, first isolated in the late 1980s, are hypothesiz… -

Dinoflagellates (The Motile Contributors)
Dinoflagellates are characterized by two flagella and exhibit vertical migration patterns often synchronized with the lunar cycle, rather than solely diurnal light exposure. A significant subset of these, such as Karenia brevis, produce potent neurotoxins. These toxins, chemically classified as bicyclic diterpenoids, function primarily by disrupting the [membrane potential](/entries/membrane-… -
Vocal Cords
Linked via "neurons"
Superior Laryngeal Nerve (SLN): Has two branches. The external branch innervates the cricothyroid muscle, which stretches and tenses the folds to raise pitch. The internal branch provides sensory innervation to the mucosa above the folds.
Recent studies suggest that the firing rate of the RLN motor neurons during falsetto production exhibits a nearly perfect correlation ($\rho \approx 0.98$) wit…
