The artery arteries deliver oxygenated blood, glucose and other nutrients to the brain and the vein s carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart , removing carbon dioxide , lactic acid , and other metabolic products. Since the brain is very vulnerable to compromises in its blood supply, the cerebral circulatory system has many safeguards. Failure of these safeguards results in cerebrovascular accident s, commonly known as strokes . The amount of blood that the cerebral circulation carries is known as cerebral blood flow .

For some applications Citation needed date December 2009 this method may yield better images than less invasive methods such as computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography . In addition, cerebral angiography allows certain treatments to be performed immediately, based on the its findings.

Cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which irrigate the cerebrum of the brain . The three main arteries consist of the Anterior cerebral artery ACA Middle cerebral artery MCA Posterior cerebral artery PCA Both the ACA and MCA originate from the cerebral portion of internal carotid artery , while PCA branches from the intersection of the posterior communicating artery and the anterior portion of the basilar artery . The three pairs of arteries are linked via the anterior communicating artery and the posterior communicating arteries . All three arteries send out arteries that perforate brain in the medial central portions prior to branching and bifurcating further. The arteries are usually divided into different segments from 1 4 or 5 to denote how far the level of the branch with the lower numbers denoting vessels closer to the source artery. Even though the arteries branching off these vessels retain some aspect of constancy in terms of size and position, a great amount of variety in topography, position, source and prominence nevertheless exists. ref name Kray Citation title Cerebral Angiography first Hugo last Krayenb hl first2 Mahmut Gazi last2 Ya argil first3 Peter last3 Huber first4 George last4 Bosse year 1982 publisher Thieme pages 79 91 isbn 9780865770676 url http books.google.com ?id 0e6YO3IEbt0C&dq ref ref Citation title Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography first Anne G. last Osborn first2 John M. last2 Jacobs year 1999 publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins isbn 9780397584048 ref References reflist 2 circulatory stub Arteries of head and neck Category Arteries of the head and neck es Arterias cerebrales ... more details

Atrophy of any tissue means loss of cells. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neuron s and the connections between them. Atrophy can be generalized, which means that all of the brain has shrunk or it can be focal, affecting only a limited area of the brain and resulting in a decrease of the functions that area of the brain controls. If the cerebral hemispheres the two lobes of the brain that form the cerebrum are affected, conscious thought and voluntary processes may be impaired. Associated diseases and disorders The pattern and rate of progression of cerebral atrophy depends on the disease involved. Diseases that cause cerebral atrophy include stroke and traumatic brain injury Alzheimer s disease , Pick s disease , senile dementia , Frontotemporal dementia fronto temporal dementia , and vascular dementia cerebral palsy , in which lesions damaged areas may impair motor coordination Huntington s disease , and other genetic disorders that cause build up of toxic levels of proteins in neurons leukodystrophies, such as Krabbe disease , which destroy the myelin sheath that protects axon s mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, such as Kearns Sayre syndrome , which interfere with the basic functions of neurons multiple sclerosis , which causes inflammation, myelin damage, and lesions in cerebral tissue infectious diseases , such as encephalitis , neurosyphilis , and AIDS , in which an infectious agent or the inflammatory reaction to it destroys neurons and their axons epilepsy , in which lesions cause abnormal electrochemical discharges that result in seizures Anorexia nervosa Symptoms Many diseases that cause cerebral atrophy are associated with dementia, seizure s, and a group of language disorders ... system DEFAULTSORT Cerebral Atrophy Category Gross pathology de Hirnatrophie ta ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 A cerebral rubicon in paleontology is the minimum cranial capacity required for a specimen to be classified as a certain paleospecies or genus. The term is mostly used in reference to human evolution. The Scottish anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith set the limit at 750 cc for the genus Homo . The minimum cranial capacity for the species Homo sapiens is generally set at 900cc. ref http www.amren.com ar 1996 02 The Origin of Races ref One of the reasons for the proposal to exclude Homo habilis from the genus Homo , and renaming it as Australopithecus habilis is the small capacity of their cranium 363cc 600 cc . Origin The term is most likely a reference to the Rubicon river, which in the time of the Roman Empire marked the boarded between Gaul Cisapline Gaul and Italy proper. Crossing the river with an army, as Julius Caesar did in 49 B.C., was illegal by Roman law and is commonly seen as the point of no return for Caesar s revolution. As such, a rubicon can be used idiom atically as any strict dividing line or point of no return.
