Summary Introduction
To review:
The effects produced by the damages caused to the corpus callosum and the basal nuclei, by an excessive alcohol consumption.
Introduction:
Both corpus callosum and basal nuclei are parts of the brain. The corpus callosum contains axons that interconnect two hemispheres (right and left hemisphere), while the basal nuclei are the group of subcortical nuclei that are present deep inside the white matter.

The third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3) is generally larger in chromosomal male (XY) humans than in chromosomal females (XX). This is thought to be due to the effects of testosterone during fetal development. What else does research suggest about the INAH3 brain region?
A) In male-to-female transgender individuals, it is more similar in size to cis-gender females.
B) In male-to-female transgender individuals, it is more similar in size to cis-gender males.
C) There has been no research connecting the stuctures in this brain region to differences in gender identity.
D)It is the same size in all transgender individuals regardless of chromosomal sex.
Match up the following components of the cortical blood-brain barrier with their developmental origin.
Long-term stress and sleep deprivation is associated with memory loss and negative thoughts.Subjects in a research study were shown images after they received either a full night’s rest or limited rest. The subjects were shown negative, positive, and neutral images. The subjects with limited rest remembered most of the negative images but only half of the positive and neutral images.The structures of the brain affected by long-term stress and sleep deprivation are, respectively:
