In the human brain revealed a previously unknown structure

In the human brain discovered a previously unknown structure. It is located in the lower cerebellar stem, near the area where the brain connects to the spinal cord.

The structure, called the endorestiform core, associated with the area that receives sensory and motor information from the body. It affects your posture, your coordination and your movements, depending on

The endorestiform nucleus, which is a group of neurons, probably plays an important role in this process. But to draw final conclusions about his goal before, say the experts.

"The lower cerebellar stem can be compared to a river, carrying information about the spinal cord and brainstem of the cerebellum, and the endorestiform nucleus is an island in this river," he explained. Australian Research Institute.

Detect the managed structure by an innovative method using staining elements. It allows to clearly allocate the different groups of neurons according to their functions.

It is interesting to note that entities such as the endorestiform nucleus have not yet been found in animals, especially primates. Scientists have suggested that the structure could be responsible for fine motor skills – so no monkey will learn to play the guitar like a man.

The researchers intend to learn more by studying the human brain with the help of an MRI and comparing it with the body of a chimpanzee (they are considered the next of kin of the human being). man).

Previously, it had been reported that large-scale DNA testing had accelerated the evolution of man.
