Brain Structure

Meaning

Refers to the physical, anatomical organization of the central nervous system’s command center, encompassing distinct regions like the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. These intricate arrangements of neural tissues, glia, and vasculature are responsible for coordinating all physiological and cognitive functions. Hormonal health is intimately tied to the integrity and specific architecture of these regions, as they contain high concentrations of hormone receptors.
