The vertebrate brain
The vertebrate brain is the main part of the central nervous system. The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system,
In most of the vertebrates the brain is at the front, in the head. It is protected by the skull and close to the main sense organs.
Brains are extremely complex and the part of human and animal body. The brain controls the other organs of the body, either by activating muscles or by causing secretion of chemicals such as hormones and neurotransmitters.
Muscular action allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment.
The brain of an adult human weights about 1300–1400 grams .
In vertebrates, the spinal cord by itself can cause reflex responses as well as simple movement such as swimming or walking. However, sophisticated control of behaviour requires a centralized brain.
The structure of all vertebrate brains is basically the same.
At the same time, during the course of evolution, the vertebrate brain has undergone changes, and become more effective.
In so-called 'lower' animals, most or all of the brain structure is inherited, and therefore their behaviour is mostly instinctive.
In mammals, and especially in man, the brain is developed further during life by learning. This has the benefit of helping them fit better into their environment. The capacity to learn is seen best in the cerebral cortex.
Three principles
The brain and nervous system is essentially a system which makes connections. It has input from sense organs and output to muscles. It is connected in several ways with the endocrine system, which makes hormones, and the digestive system and sex system. Hormones work slowly, so those changes are gradual.
The brain is a kind of department store. It has, all inter-connected, departments which do different things. They all help each other gather senses.
Much of what the body does is not conscious. Basically, much of the body runs on automatic (breathing, heart beat, hungry, hair growth) adjusted by the autonomic nervous system. The brain, too, does much of its work without a person noticing it. The unconscious mind refers to the brain activities which are hardly ever noticed.
Thalamus-Anatomy,Physiology,Applied aspectsRanadhi Das
Thalamus is a very important relay station.
All general and special sensory impulses (except smell) & afferent impulses from RAS are integrated here.
Thalamus however is the center of pain and protopathic sensations.
It has other non sensory functions as well, like motor control, sleep, wakefulness.
It is the largest structure deriving from the embryonic diencephalon, the posterior part of the forebrain situated between the midbrain and the cerebrum.
The thalamus is part of a nuclear complex structured of 4 parts, the hypothalamus, epithalamus, prethalamus (formerly called ventral thalamus) and dorsal thalamus.
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is divided into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain contains structures like the cerebral cortex that control functions like thinking and producing language. The midbrain regulates sensory processes and body movement. The hindbrain includes the cerebellum, pons, and medulla, which are involved in motor control, balance, and vital functions. The spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body and transmits motor and sensory signals.

Diving into the Depths: Unraveling the Wonders of the Fish Nervous System
Beneath the sparkling surface of oceans and rivers unfolds a hidden world of silent ballet, electrifying signals, and exquisite sensory perception. Here, where sunlight fades into an emerald gloom, the fish nervous system reigns supreme, an invisible conductor orchestrating the lives of countless aquatic marvels. Unlike the grand orchestration of our own, their symphony plays out in a condensed score, yet resonates with complexity and wonder.
A Streamlined Masterpiece:
While mammals boast a three-part nervous system, the fish world operates on a streamlined architecture. Their central nervous system (CNS), nestled within the skull, combines processing power and communication lines into one streamlined unit. The brain, though smaller than ours, acts as the command center, analyzing sensory information and issuing instructions through a network of nerves that course through their slender bodies. The spinal cord, running along the back like a luminous highway, relays messages between brain and muscle, ensuring their every fin flick and twitch is precisely coordinated.
Sensing the Secrets of the Water:
Unbeholden to the limitations of terrestrial sight and sound, fish have honed their senses to excel in the aquatic realm. Their vision, often keen and adaptable, paints the underwater world in vivid hues, letting them track prey, navigate through coral reefs, and avoid lurking predators. Smell and taste take on amplified roles, with exquisite chemoreceptors detecting dissolved chemicals like a gourmet savoring the finest spices. They can sniff out food, sense danger, and even detect potential mates with a precision that puts our noses to shame.
But the water offers secrets beyond these familiar senses. The lateral line system, a series of sensory cells lining their bodies, acts like an underwater radar. By detecting subtle changes in water pressure, they sense approaching predators, navigate currents, and even communicate with each other in ways we can only dream of understanding. And for some, like the majestic sharks, the world hums with an electric symphony. Electroreception allows them to perceive the faintest electrical fields, aiding in hunting, guiding through murky waters, and even revealing the hidden emotions of their kin.
Masters of Movement:
Fish dance through the water with an effortless grace that belies the intricate calculations powering their every movement. The cerebellum, housed within the brain, acts as a master choreographer, fine-tuning muscle coordination for balance and smooth swimming. The optic tectum, a specialized area dedicated to vision, processes visual information with lightning speed, allowing them to track prey and avoid obstacles in the blink of an eye. Every fin beat, every twist and turn, is orchestrated by the symphony of nerves relaying signals from brain to muscle, translating thought into fluid motion.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and

Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Cerebrospinal system
brain, spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves.
Autonomic system
ganglia, nerve fibers, sympathetic and
parasympathetic parts
5. The most anterior region
involved in olfactory reception
Olfactory lobe on each side
followed by olfactory bulb.
Olfactory nerve or cranial nerve 1 enters this
region
In elasmobranches and bony fishes, terminal
nerve 0 also.
6. a constriction behind telencephalon
also known as tween brain
1. Saccus dorsalis form the roof of the cavity
within diencephalon.
2. Pineal and parapineal organs; also known as
epiphysial organs
located slightly right and left side of the midline
respectively.
8. These are linked to reception of diffuse light
stimulus
Pineal organ is well developed in vertically
migrating fishes
Hatchet fishes, catfishes and halfbeaks
Its secretory roles it may be endocrine
functions
In sharks and bony fishes, only pineal organ is
present
9. Thalamus serves as relay centre for transfer
olfactory impulses to thalamo-medullar and
thalemo-spinal tract.
Hypothalamus affects the endocrine system
through pituitary gland.
10. It is relatively large in fishes. It consists of
dorsal optic tactum, which appear two optic
lobes in dorsal view and ventral tagmatum.
It correlate visual impressions with muscular
responses.
For example facing prey or swimming to moving
objects.
11. In metencephalon, cerebellum devalope from
underlying large medulla as dorsal outgrowth
of 4th ventricle.
Its prominent functions are swimming
equilibration, maintenance of muscular
tonus, orientation in space.
12. Also known as brainstem.
Medulla oblongata is its main component. It
is a centre to which lead the sensory nerves
except those of smell and sight.
13. Cross section of spinal cord shows a central
region of gray substance consisting of nerve
cells and a surrounding area of white matter
consisting of myelinated nerve fibers.
In centre of the gray matter is central canal.
Gray matter resemble letter X with paired
dorsal and ventral horns. Dorsal horn
receives somatic and visceral sensory fibers
and ventral horn contain motor nuclei.
