NuroCity Underground

AI created this version of the cingulate gyrus as a factory complex in NuroCity. 

The brain cingulate gyrus "plays a crucial role in regulating emotions, pain processing, and behavior, acting as a connecting hub for emotional, sensory, and action processing." 

In the Nuro world the buildings are the Cingul G Complex.  

Part of the basal ganglia the caudate nucleus is a deep brain structure. 

It is involved in planning the execution of movement, learning, memory, reward, motivation, emotion, & romantic interaction (NIH). The caudate nucleus structures largely control voluntary skeletal movement. In the nuroworld it is  ivory buildings.

The globus pallidus, a part of the basal ganglia, primarily functions in controlling movement and modulating other brain functions like cognition and emotion. 

Part of the basal ganglia, the subthalmic nucleus plays a crucial role in modulating movement, particularly by influencing the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia, which is involved in inhibiting unwanted movements.  

The substantia nigra is a horseshoe shaped structure of the brain that is a major production center of the neurochemical dopamine.

Located deep within the brain, the thalamus consists of two oval masses, one in each hemisphere, connected by a bridge. 

The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information (except smell) before it's sent to the cerebral cortex. 

It also plays a role in motor control, consciousness, and alertness. 

A cone-shaped structure, the hypothalamus is a key regulator of homeostasis, maintaining a stable internal environment & hormone regulation. It helps integrate functions of the autonomic nervous system which controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, body temperature, hunger, thirst, & sleep-wake cycles

The amygdala plays a major roll in regulating emotions in the brain. Here is the amygdala imagined as a retreat center. 

The hippocampus is a major memory center of the brain. 

In the NURONS world the hippocampus is the Hippo Campus, like a university or major learning center.
