Answer:
substantia nigra
Explanation:
The Limbic system is a complex set of brain structures that can be seen on both sides of the thalamus. It supports a variety of functions including emotion, behavioral activities,motivation, memory e.t.c. It composition entails the hypothalamus, the hippocampus and the amygdala.
The hypothalamus which is located below the thalamus (i.e hypo means "under") helps to regulates thirst, body temperature, and sexual behavior, and helps maintain a steady (homeostatic) internal state of the body of an organism.
Hippocampus is the centre of memory.
Amygdala (an almond-shape set of neurons) play a key role in the processing of emotions.
On the other hand, The substantia nigra is a basal ganglia structure that can be seen in the midbrain. The substantia nigra plays a vital role in reward and movement. This area of the brain sends signals down the spinal cord to control the muscles of the body.
Experiment that tests the effects of changing salt concentrations on regeneration of brain cells in Alzheimer’s patients.
Explanation:
Experiments are conducted on brain cells by first growing human embryonic stem cells in a Petri dish and then converting them to brain cells. later the Alzheimer’s disease was genetically engineered into those nerve cells through gene mutation.
When these cells are exposed to varying concentrations of salt solution, the cells with shrink or swell according to the concentration due to cellular osmosis.
The cells will undergo chemical changes due to this. The regeneration probabilities of nerve cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease can be studied by such experiments.
