Each of the brain’s hemispheres contains a caudate nucleus. Located near the thalamus, they control functions including movement and communication.

The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a ...

The hypothalamus is a small but crucial part of the brain. It controls functions such as sleep and growth. View a 3-D diagram and learn about related conditions.

Long-term changes. Because the signals passed across the ciliary synapse enable changes to genomic material in the nucleus, they are likely responsible for longer-term changes in neurons than ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...
