Brain Morphology and Function Report

Basic Information
Name Brainstem
Brain Morphology The brainstem is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord. The brain stem is made of the midbrain, pons, and medulla.
Brain Function Brain stem is responsible for basic vital life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.

2. User can drag the nodes to rearrange the layout of the network. Click the node will enter the report page of the node. Right-click will show also the menus to link to the report page of the node and remove the node and related edges. Hover the node will show the level of the node and hover the edge will show the evidence/description of the edge.
3. The network is generated using Cytoscape Web Cytoscape Web
