Brain Morphology and Function Report

Name	Cerebral cortex
Brain Morphology	The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It is constituted of up to six horizontal layers, each of which has a different composition in terms of neurons and connectivity. The human cerebral cortex is 2- 4 mm (0.08-0.16 inches) thick.
Brain Function	It plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.

cerebral cortex	Choudary, 2005	patients and normal controls		Microarray analysis of specific areas of cerebral cortex fro...... Microarray analysis of specific areas of cerebral cortex from individuals who had suffered from major depressive disorder demonstrated significant down-regulation of SLC1A2 and SLC1A3, two key members of the glutamate/neutral amino acid transporter protein family, SLC1. Similarly, expression of L-glutamate-ammonia ligase, the enzyme that converts glutamate to nontoxic glutamine was significantly decreased. More...

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
