Central Nervous System Chapter 13

Слайд 2

Описание слайда:

Introduction Analogies; telephone switchboard; computer; miracle A fantastically complex and flexible biological organ Cephalization become more apparent in higher order species Increase in the neurons at the rostral end of the CNS Highest level of cephalization is found in humans

Слайд 3

Описание слайда:

The Brain The unimpressive appearance of the human brain give few hints of its abilities It is about two handfuls of delicate pinkish gray tissue Wrinkled surface Consistency of cold oatmeal

Слайд 4

Описание слайда:

The Brain Average adult male’s brain weighs about 1600 g (3.5 pounds) Average adult female’s brain weighs about 1450 g Brain size represents a proportional difference in body size Brain size is not correlated to intelligence but is related to the complexity of the neural connections within the brain

Слайд 5

Описание слайда:

Embryonic Development Starting in the third week of pregnancy, the ectoderm thickens along the dorsal midline axis of the embryo to form a neural plate The neural plate eventually gives rise to all neural tissues

Слайд 6

Описание слайда:

Embryonic Development The neural plate then invaginates, forming a groove flanked by neural folds

Слайд 7

Описание слайда:

Development of Neural Tube As the groove deepens the superior edges of the neural folds fuse, forming the neural tube The tube then detaches from the surface ectoderm and assumes a deeper position in the embryo

Слайд 8

Описание слайда:

Development of Neural Tube The neural tube is formed by the fourth week of pregnancy and differentiates rapidly into the CNS The brain forms anteriorly and the spinal cord posteriorly

Слайд 9

Описание слайда:

Development of Neural Tube Small groups of neural fold cells migrate laterally and locate between the surface ectoderm and the neural tube to forming the neural crest The neural crest gives rise to sensory neurons and some autonomic neurons destined to reside in ganglia

Слайд 10

Описание слайда:

Development of Neural Tube As soon as the neural tube is formed, its anterior end begins to expand more rapidly than the remaining portion

Слайд 11

Описание слайда:

Primary Brain Vesicles Constrictions in the neural tube appear to mark off the three primary brain vesicles Prosencephalon (forebrain) Mesencephalon (midbrain) Rhombencephalon (hindbrain) The remainder of the neural tube becomes the spinal cord

Слайд 12

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles By the fifth week, the five brain regions of the secondary brain vesicles are evident The forebrain has divided Telencephalon Diencephalon The midbrain remains undivided The hindbrain has constricted to form Metencephalon Myelencephalon

Слайд 13

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles Each of the five secondary brain vesicles develops rapidly to produce the major structures of the adult brain The greatest change occurs in the telencephalon which sprouts two large swellings which project anteriorly These paired expansions become the cerebral hemispheres known collectively as the cerebrum Hemispheres house ventricles

Слайд 14

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles Various areas of the diencephalon specialize to form Hypothalamus Thalamus Epithalamus

Слайд 15

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles The mesencephalon develops into Midbrain Brain stem

Слайд 16

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles Various areas of the Metencephalon specialize to form Brain stem Pons Cerebellum

Слайд 17

Описание слайда:

Secondary Brain Vesicles Various areas of the Myelencephalon specialize to form Brain stem Medulla oblongata All the midbrain and hindbrain structures, with the exception of the cerebellum, form portions of the brain stem

Слайд 18

Описание слайда:

Adult Neural Canal Regions The central canal of the neural tube enlarge in four areas to form the fluid filled ventricles Telencephalon Lateral ventricles Superior portion of 3rd Diencephalon Most of third ventricle Mesencephalon Cerebral aqueduct Metencephalon Fourth ventricle Myelencephalon Fourth ventricle

Слайд 19

Описание слайда:

Development of Flexures During this period of rapid brain growth change is also occurring in the relative position of its parts Because the brain’s growth is restricted by the skull, midbrain and cervical flexures develop by the fifth week which bend the forebrain toward the brain stem

Слайд 20

Описание слайда:

Effects of Space Restriction A second consequence of restricted space is that the cerebral hemispheres are forced to take a horseshoe shaped course posteriorly and laterally Development of the cerebral hemispheres at 13 weeks

Слайд 21

Описание слайда:

Effects of Space Restriction As a result the hemispheres grow back over and almost completely envelop the diencephalon and midbrain The cerebral hemispheres at 26 weeks

Слайд 22

Описание слайда:

Effects of Space Restriction Continued growth of the cerebral hemispheres causes their surfaces to crease and fold Folding results in convolutions which increase surface area and allow some 1012 neurons to occupy the limited space within the skull

Слайд 23

Описание слайда:

Effects of Space Restriction The wrinkling of the hemispheres may result from tension on the young axons as they become arranged in a way that minimizes the length of the interconnections they form among the various parts of the cerebrum

Слайд 24

Описание слайда:

Regions of the Brain The four main regions of the brain are: Cerebral hemi- spheres Diencephalon Thalamus Hypothalamus Epithalamus Brain stem Midbrain Pons Medulla Cerebellum

Слайд 25

Описание слайда:

Gray and White Matter in CNS The basic pattern of the CNS can be seen in the spinal cord A central cavity surrounded by a gray matter core of brain nuclei, external to which is white matter (myelinated fiber tracts) Figure 12.29 presents major ascending and descending fiber tracts

Слайд 26

Описание слайда:

Gray and White Matter in CNS The brain has the same basic design except that it also contains additional regions of gray matter that are not evident in the spinal cord Both the cerebral hemispheres and the cerebellum have an outer layer or cortex of gray matter consisting of neuron cell bodies

Слайд 27

Описание слайда:

Gray and White Matter in CNS The pattern of white and gray matter changes with descent through the brain stem The cortex disappears, but scattered gray matter nuclei are seen within the white matter At the caudal end of the brain stem the basic pattern is evident

Слайд 28

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain The ventricles of the brain arise from the expansion of the neural tube They are continuous with each other and with the central canal of the spinal cord

Слайд 29

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain The hollow ventricular chambers are filled with cerebrospinal fluid and lined by ependymal cells

Слайд 30

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain The paired lateral ventricles are large C-shaped chambers that reflect the pattern of cerebral growth One lateral ventricle is located in each cerebral hemisphere

Слайд 31

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain Anteriorly, the lateral ventricles lie close together separated only by a thin median membrane called the septum pellucidum Each ventricle communicates with the narrow third ventricle in the diencephalon

Слайд 32

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain Communication occurs through the inter- ventricular foramen (foramen of Moro)

Слайд 33

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain The third ventricle is continuous with the fourth ventricle via the canal-like cerebral aqueduct that runs through the midbrain

Слайд 34

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain The fourth ventricle which lies dorsal to the pons and posterior to the medulla, is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord inferiorly

Слайд 35

Описание слайда:

Ventricles of the Brain Three openings mark the walls of the fourth ventricle Paired lateral apertures Median aperture Apertures connect the ventricles to the subarachnoid space

Слайд 36

Описание слайда:

The Cerebral Hemispheres The cerebral hemispheres form the superior part of the brain These two structures account for about 83% of the mass of the brain The two hemispheres cover and obscure the diencephalon and the top of the brain stem

Слайд 37

Описание слайда:

The Cerebral Hemispheres Nearly the entire surface of the cerebral hemispheres is marked by elevated ridges of tissues called gyri separated by shallow grooves called sulci Deeper grooves called fissures separate larger regions of the brain

Слайд 38

Описание слайда:

The Cerebral Hemispheres Prominent gyri and sulci are similar in all people The median longitudinal fissure separates the hemispheres The transverse fissure separates the cerebral hemispheres from the cerebellum below

Слайд 39

Описание слайда:

Lobes of Cerebral Hemispheres Deeper sulci divide each hemisphere into five lobes Frontal lobe Temporal lobe Parietal lobe Occipital lobe Insula (located within the lateral sulcus)

Слайд 40

Описание слайда:

Слайд 42

Описание слайда:

Medial Surface of Right Hemisphere Medial surface of the right hemisphere showing the Parieto- occipital sulcus

Слайд 43

Описание слайда:

Position of Cerebral Hemispheres The frontal lobes occupy the anterior cranial fossa The anterior parts of the temporal lobes fill the middle cranial fossa The cerebellum and brain stem occupies the posterior cranial fossa and the occipital lobes rests upon it

Слайд 44

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex The cerebral cortex is the “executive suite” of the nervous system It enables us to perceive, communicate, remember, understand, appreciate, and initiate voluntary movements Literally all qualities associated with conscious behavior or consciousness originate within the cerebral cortex of the various lobes of the brain

Слайд 45

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex The cerebral cortex is gray matter composed of neuron cells bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons (plus support cells and blood vessels) It is only 2-4 mm thick The many convolutions of the brain effectively triple its surface area It accounts for roughly 40% of total brain mass

Слайд 46

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex The cerebral cortex accounts for roughly 40% of total brain mass The cortex contains billions of neurons arranged in six layers Ana

Слайд 47

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Hemispheres Coronal section of the brain which reveals the cerebral cortex, white matter, and basal nuclei within the cerebral hemispheres

Слайд 48

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex Research on the structure and function of the brain reveals that there are both specialized and diffuse areas of function Motor and sensory areas are localized in discrete cortical areas called domains Many higher mental functions such as memory and language appear to have overlapping domains and are more diffusely located Broadmann areas are areas of localized function

Слайд 49

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex - Generalizations The cerebral cortex has three types of functional areas Motor areas / control voluntary motor function Sensory areas / provide conscious awareness of sensation Association areas / act mainly to integrate diverse information for purposeful action Each hemisphere is chiefly concerned with the sensory and motor functions of the opposite (contralateral) side of the body

Слайд 50

Описание слайда:

Cerebral Cortex - Generalizations Although they are largely symmetrical in structure the two hemispheres are not entirely equal in function, instead there is lateralization of cortical function Remember that the information presented is a gross oversimplification to convey and clarify concepts

Слайд 51

Описание слайда:

Motor Areas Cortical areas controlling motor functions lie in the posterior part of the frontal lobes Motor areas include the primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex, Broca’s area, and the front eye field

Слайд 52

Описание слайда:

Primary Motor Cortex The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe of each hemisphere Large neurons (pyramidal cells) in these gyri allow us to consciously control the precise or skill voluntary movements of our skeletal muscles

Слайд 53

Описание слайда:

Pyramidal cells These long axons, which project to the spinal cord, form the massive voluntary motor tracts called the pyramidal, or corticospinal tracts All other descending motor tracts issue from brain stem nuclei and consists of chains of two, three, or more neurons

Слайд 54

Описание слайда:

Pyramidal Tracts The lateral corticospinal tract consists of the long axons of the pyramidal cells located within the primary motor cortex

Слайд 55

Описание слайда:

Motor Somatotopy Body is represented spatially in the primary motor cortex of each hemisphere Most of the neurons in these gyri control muscles in body areas having the most precise motor control The areas with the most control (face, tongue, and hands)

Слайд 56

Описание слайда:

Motor Somatotopy Motor innervation is contralateral; left primary motor controls right side of body The image is useful to conceptualize areas of synergistic function However, a given muscle may be controlled by several cortical neurons recruited for several specific actions

Слайд 57

Описание слайда:

Motor Somatotopy Damage to the localized areas of the primary motor cortex paralyzes the muscles controlled by this area If the lesion is in the right hemisphere, the left side will be paralyzed Only voluntary control is lost as the muscles can still contract reflexively

Слайд 58

Описание слайда:

Premotor Cortex The premotor cortex controls motor skills of repetitive or patterned nature (typing or piano) The premotor cortex coordinates the movement of several muscle groups to act simultaneously or sequentially

Слайд 59

Описание слайда:

Premotor Cortex The premotor cortex sends activating impulses to the primary motor cortex Also influences motor actively more directly by supplying about 15% of pyramidal tract fibers A memory bank of skilled motor activities

Слайд 60

Описание слайда:

Premotor Cortex This area appears to involved with motor planning It controls voluntary actions that depend on sensory feedback

Слайд 61

Описание слайда:

Premotor Cortex Damage to the premotor area results in the loss of the motor skills in that region Muscle strength and the ability to perform the discrete individual movements are not hindered Neurons relearning the skill would require practice

Слайд 62

Описание слайда:

Broca’s area The area has long been considered to be present in only one hemisphere (usually left) A special motor speech area that directs the muscles of the tongue, throat, and lips in articulating words

Слайд 63

Описание слайда:

Broca’s area Recent PET scans indicates that Broca’s area and a similar area in the opposite hemisphere become active as we prepare to speak The areas may be involved with planning speech and other voluntary motor activities

Слайд 64

Описание слайда:

Frontal Eye Field This cortical region controls the voluntary movements of the eyes Engaged when we look quickly at something, as in moving our eyes to follow a moving target

Слайд 65

Описание слайда:

Sensory Areas Areas concerned with the conscious awareness of sensation in the parietal, temporal and occipital lobes

Слайд 66

Описание слайда:

Primary Somato-sensory Cortex Primary somato- sensory area resides in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe Neurons in this gyrus receive information relayed via a three neuron synaptic chain from general sensory receptors in the skin and proprio- ceptors in muscles

Слайд 67

Описание слайда:

Synaptic Chain Central axons of sensory (1st order) neurons enter dorsal root of spinal cord Synapse with 2nd order neurons in medial lemniscal tract and ascend to Thalamus Synapse with 3rd order neurons which transmit to somato- sensory cortex

Слайд 68

Описание слайда:

Primary Somato-sensory Cortex In the cortex neurons process the sensory information and identify the precise area of the body being stimulated This ability to localize (assign a location) a stimulus precisely is called spatial discrimination

Слайд 69

Описание слайда:

Motor and Sensory Somatotopy

Слайд 70

Описание слайда:

Primary Somato-sensory Cortex The sensory spatial discrimination is contralateral with the right hemisphere receiving inputs from the left side of the body The entire body is represented spatially in the primary somatosensory area of each hemisphere

Слайд 71

Описание слайда:

Primary Somato-sensory Cortex The amount of sensory cortex devoted to a particular body region is related to how many sensory receptors are present In humans the face (especially the lips) and fingertips are the most sensitive body areas

Слайд 72

Описание слайда:

Primary Somatosensory Cortex Damage to the primary somatisensory cortex destroys the conscious ability to feel and localize touch, pressure, and vibrations on the skin Most ability to feel pain and temperature is also lost, although these can still be felt in a vague, poorly localized way

Слайд 73

Описание слайда:

Somatosensory Association Area The area lies just posterior to the primary somata- sensory cortex and has many connections with it (Broadmann 5,7) The major function of the area is to integrate and analyze different somatic sensory inputs (touch, pressure, others) relayed to it by the primary somato- sensory cortex

Слайд 74

Описание слайда:

Somatosensory Association Area The somatosensory association area forms a comprehensive evaluation of what is being felt relative to its size, texture and parts The somatosensory association area draws upon stored memories of past sensory experiences to perceive the object as one you recognize

Слайд 75

Описание слайда:

Somatosensory Association Area Past associations allow you to recognize familiar objects (coins, keys) without having to look at them Someone with damage to this area would not be able to recognize what they are feeling without actually looking at the object

Слайд 76

Описание слайда:

Primary Visual Cortex The primary visual cortex (17) is located on the posterior and medial portions of the occipital lobe

Слайд 77

Описание слайда:

Primary Visual Cortex Most of the primary visual cortex is located on the medial aspect of the occipital lobe buried within the deep calcarine sulcus

Слайд 78

Описание слайда:

Primary Visual Cortex The largest of all cortical sensory areas, the primary visual cortex receives visual information that originates on the retinas of the eyes There is a map of visual space on the primary visual cortex analogous to the body map of the somato- sensory cortex

Слайд 79

Описание слайда:

Primary Visual Cortex Again, the right half of visual space is represented on the left visual cortex, the left half on the right cortex If this cortical area is damaged, the person has no conscious awareness of what is being viewed and is functionally blind

Слайд 80

Описание слайда:

Primary Visual Cortex The primary visual cortex is the first of a series of cortical areas that process visual input The processing here is at a comparatively low level - noting the orientation of objects being viewed and putting the inputs from the two eyes together

Слайд 81

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area This area surrounds the primary visual area and encompasses much of the occipital lobe (18, 19) Communicating with the primary visual area, the visual association area continues the processing of visual information

Слайд 82

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area This area analyzes color, form and movement in light of past visual experiences so that we might recognize & appreciate what we are seeing

Слайд 83

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area Recent neuroimaging has revealed that complex visual processing far forward from the occipital lobe into the temporal and parietal lobes Overall, about 30 cortical areas for visual processing have been identified, with each more sophisticated than the last The visual information proceeds anteriorly through these visual areas in two streams

Слайд 84

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area The ventral stream extends through the inferior part of the entire temporal lobe and is responsible for recognizing objects, words during reading, and faces Facial recognition is right hemisphere only The “what”

Слайд 85

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area The dorsal stream extends through the posterior parietal cortex to the postcentral gyrus and perceives spatial relationships among different objects The “where” things are in space

Слайд 86

Описание слайда:

Visual Association Area The dorsal stream in the parietal lobe is important for spatial perception The superior part of the lobe calculates how we move our limbs through space then sends this information to the motor cortex which dictates these movements In addition, the parietal lobe is important for abstract mathematical abilities, which are highly visual, spatial in nature

Слайд 87

Описание слайда:

Visual Areas Damage to the visual cortex results in functional blindness Damage to the visual association areas results in an ability to see but not comprehend what is seen

Слайд 88

Описание слайда:

Primary Auditory Cortex The primary auditory cortex is located on the superior margin of the temporal lobe, primarily inside the lateral sulcus Broadmann 41,42 It provides us with our conscious awareness of sound

Слайд 89

Описание слайда:

Primary Auditory Cortex Hearing receptors in the cochlear of the inner ear transmit impulses to primary auditory cortex Impulses related to loudness, rhythm, and especially pitch (high to low notes) is complied

Слайд 90

Описание слайда:

Auditory Association Area The auditory association area lies just posterior to the primary auditory area Broadmann 22 This area evaluates and classifies sound Memories of past sounds seem to be stored here

Слайд 91

Описание слайда:

Auditory Association Area In one hemisphere (usually the left), the auditory association areas lies in the center of Wernicke’s area This functional area is involved in recognizing and understanding spoken words

Слайд 92

Описание слайда:

Auditory Association Area Damage to Wernicke’s area interferes with the ability to comprehend speech

Слайд 93

Описание слайда:

Gustatory (taste) Cortex The gustatory cortex is involved in the conscious awareness of tase stimuli Broadmann 43 It lies on the roof of the lateral sulcus This taste area occurs on the tongue in the somatosensory homunculus

Слайд 94

Описание слайда:

Vestibular (equilibrium) Cortex The cortex is responsible for conscious aware-ness of the sense of balance; specifically the position of the head in space Recent studies have placed this region in the posterior insula deep in the lateral sulcus

Слайд 95

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area The primary olfactory cortex lie on the medial aspects of the cerebrum in a small region called the piriform lobe of which the hook-like uncus is the dominant feature

Слайд 96

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area The olfactory nerves (Cranial nerve I) from the nasal cavity transmit impulses that are ultimately relayed to the olfactory cortex The outcome is conscious awareness of smells

Слайд 97

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area The olfactory cortex is part of a brain area called the rhinencephalon (nose brain) which includes all parts of the cerebrum that directly receive olfactory signals

Слайд 98

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area The piriform lobe, the olfactory tract, the olfactory bulb, and some nearby structures are all components of the rhinencephalon

Слайд 99

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area The rhinencephalon connects to the brain area that is involved in emotions, the limbic system, which explains why smells often trigger emotions

Слайд 100

Описание слайда:

Olfactory Area Part of the frontal lobe, the orbitofrontal cortex, is involved in higher-order processing of smells Consciously identifying and recalling specific odors and telling different smells apart

Слайд 101

Описание слайда:

Association Areas Association areas include all cortical areas other than primary sensory and motor areas The name reflects the fact that some of these areas tie together, or make associations between different kinds of sensory information They also seem to associate new sensory inputs with memories of past experiences

Слайд 102

Описание слайда:

Association Areas The term association area is fading from use and will probably be replaced by higher- order processing areas Higher-order processing areas is a more accurate name as these areas, which are nearby the primary sensory areas, have the ability to analyze, recognize, and act on the sensory input received

Слайд 103

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The prefrontal cortex occupies the large region of the frontal lobe anterior to the motor area The most complicated cortical region It performs many cognitive functions

Слайд 104

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex Cognition is all aspects of thinking, perceiving and of intentionally remembering and recalling information The prefrontal cortex is necessary for abstract ideas, reasoning and judgment, impulse control, persistence, long term planning

Слайд 105

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The prefrontal cortex also is used for long- term planning, complex problem solving, mental flexibility, social skills, appreciating humor, empathy, and conscience

Слайд 106

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The prefrontal cortex also seems to be related to mood and has close links to the emotional (limbic) part of the forebrain Tumors in this region may cause mental and personality disorders The tremendous elaboration of this prefrontal region distinguishes humans from animals

Слайд 107

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex Functional neuro-imaging techniques have begun to reveal the functions of specific parts of the prefrontal cortex Completion of multi-step problem solving tasks requires the temporary storage of information in working memory

Слайд 108

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The working memories of spatial relations are stored in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex just anterior to the frontal eye field

Слайд 109

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex Working memories of objects and faces are stored farther ventrally, below Broca’s area

Слайд 110

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex More significant is the region that manages cognitive tasks by directing our attention to the relevant information in the working memory This executive area lies between the working- memory sites, just anterior to Broca’s area

Слайд 111

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The extreme anterior pole of the frontal cortex was found to be active in solving the most complex problems - problems in which many sub- problems had to be completed before a solution could be obtained

Слайд 112

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The new findings suggest support for a general rule of neuroscience that says the farther rostrally one goes in the CNS, the more complex are the neuron functions performed

Слайд 113

Описание слайда:

Prefrontal Cortex The area just anterior to the corpus callosum may process emotions involved in “mentalization”, the ability to understand and manipulate other people’s thoughts and emotions

Слайд 114

Описание слайда:

General Interpretation Area The existence of this area within the brain is debated Once thought to be an area of integration of all types of sensory information, its existence was mainly substantiated by agnosia (not knowing) Recent studies do not support its presence

Слайд 115

Описание слайда:

Language Area The large area surrounding the lateral sulcus in the left cerebral hemisphere is involved in various functions related to language

Слайд 116

Описание слайда:

Language Area Five areas have been identified with language; Broca’s area (speech production); Wernicke’s area (speech comprehension); prefrontal cortex (conceptual analysis); temporal lobe (visual and auditory aspects of language ); the insula (recognition of rhythms)

Слайд 117

Описание слайда:

Language Area The corresponding areas on the right hemisphere, although not involved in the mechanics of language, act in the creative interpretation of words and in controlling the emotional overtones of speech

Слайд 118

Описание слайда:

Insula The insula is large and the functions of its cortex are not well understood Some parts function in language and some in the sense of balance Other parts have visceral function including the perception of upset stomach, full bladder

Слайд 119

Описание слайда:

Lateralization of Cortical Function We use both cerebral hemispheres for almost every task and it appears the hemispheres share memories and appear nearly identical However, there are differences and unique abilities that are found in one hemisphere and not the other This phenomenon is call lateralization Cerebral dominance suggest that there is one hemisphere that dominates each task

Слайд 120

Описание слайда:

Lateralization of Cortical Function In most people (Approx. 90%) the left hemisphere has greater control over language abilities, mathematical abilities, and logic The other hemisphere (usually the right) is involved in visual-spatial skills, intuition, emotion, and appreciation of art and music

Слайд 121

Описание слайда:

Lateralization of Cortical Function Most individuals (90%) with left cerebral dominance are right-handed In the remaining 10% the roles of the hemispheres are reversed or the hemispheres share their functions equally Typically, many right cerebral dominant people are left handed and more often male In lefties the cerebral cortex functions bilaterally, the mutuality of brain control sometimes result in ambidexterity or dyslexia

Слайд 122

Описание слайда:

Lateralization of Cortical Function The two cerebral hemispheres have perfect and almost instantaneous communication with one another via connecting fiber tracts as well as complete integration of their functions Lateralization means that each hemisphere is better than the other at certain functions, neither side is better at everything

Слайд 123

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Communication within the brain is extensive The cerebral white matter deep to the gray matter of the cortex provides for communication between cerebral areas and between the cortex and the lower CNS centers

Слайд 124

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter The white matter largely consists of myelinated fibers bundled into large tracts These fibers and the tracts they form are classified according to the direction in which they run as Commissural Association Projection

Слайд 125

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Commissures connect the hemispheres Association fibers connect areas within hemispheres Projection tracts connect higher & lower areas of CNS

Слайд 126

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Commissures connect the corresponding areas of two hemispheres enabling them to function as a whole The Corpus callosum is the largest commissure

Слайд 127

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Association fibers transmit within a single hemisphere Short fibers connect adjacent gyri or cortical areas Long fibers are bundled into tracts and connect different cortical lobes

Слайд 128

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Projection fibers run vertically to connect levels of the CNS Impulses from receptors and to effectors move within these tracts At the upper limits of the brain stem, the projection fibers on each side form a compact band called the internal capsule

Слайд 129

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter Ascending projection tracts pass between the thalamus and the basal nuclei beyond which the radiate through the cerebral white matter to the cortex This distinctive arrangement of projection tract fibers is called the corona radiata

Слайд 130

Описание слайда:

Cerebral White Matter The fibers of the corona radiata fan out into the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere

Слайд 131

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei In the cerebral white matter of each hemisphere are a groups of subcortical nuclei called the basal nuclei The main mass of this tissue include the caudate nucleus, putamen, and the globus pallidus

Слайд 132

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The putamen and globus pallidus together form a mass called the lentiform nucleus

Слайд 133

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The comma shaped caudate nucleus arches superiorly over the diencephalon

Слайд 134

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The lentiform nucleus flanks the internal capsule laterally

Слайд 135

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei Collectively the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nuclei are called the corpus striatum because the fibers of the internal capsule that course past these nuclei give them a striped appearance

Слайд 136

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The basal nuclei are functionally associated with the subthalamic nuclei (located in the floor of the diencephalon) and the substantia nigra of the midbrain

Слайд 137

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The amygdaloid nucleus sits on the tail of the caudate nucleus, functionally it belongs to the limbic system

Слайд 138

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei Functionally, the basal nuclei can be viewed as complex neural calculators that cooperate with the cerebral cortex in controlling movement

Слайд 139

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The basal nuclei receive inputs from the entire cerebral cortex as well as from other subcortical nuclei Via relays through the thalamus, the basal nuclei project to the premotor and prefrontal cortices

Слайд 140

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei Via relays the basal nuclei influence muscle movements directed by the primary motor cortex The basal nuclei has no direct access to the motor pathways The precise role of the basal nuclei is difficult to determine since their function overlaps to some extent with the cerebellum The basal nuclei are particularly important in starting, stopping, and monitoring movements executed by the by the cortex

Слайд 141

Описание слайда:

Basal Nuclei The nuclei are involved in monitoring muscle movements that are relatively slow and sustained or patterned The nuclei also regulated the intensity of these movements Additionally, they inhibit antagonistic or unnecessary movements When the basal nuclei are impaired, the result is disturbances in posture and muscle tone, involuntary movements including tremors, and abnormal slowness

Слайд 142

Описание слайда:

The Diencephanlon Forms the central core of the forebrain and is surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres

Слайд 143

Описание слайда:

The Diencephalon The diencephalon consists of three structures Thalamus Hypothalamus Epithalamus These structures effectively enclose the third ventricle

Choroid Plexus The capillaries of the choroid plexus are fairly permeable and tissue fluid filter continuously from the bloodstream

Слайд 293

Описание слайда:

Choroid Plexus The choroid plexus cells are joined by tight junctions and have ion pumps that allow them to modify this filtrate by actively transporting only certain ions across their membranes into the CSF pool

Слайд 294

Описание слайда:

The Choroid Plexus In adults, the total CSF volume of about 150 ml is replaced every 3-4 hours 900 ml is produced daily The choroid plexus also helps to cleanse the CSF by removing waste products and other unnecessary solutes Once produced CSF moves freely through the ventricles

Слайд 295

Описание слайда:

CSF Circulation Most CSF enters the subarachnoid space via the apertures in the walls of the fourth ventricle The motion of the CSF is aided by the long microvilli of the ependymal cells lining the ventricles Some CSF enters the central canal of the spinal cord

Слайд 296

Описание слайда:

CSF Circulation In the subarachnoid space the CSF bathes the outer surface of the brain and cord and then returns to the blood in the dural sinuses via the arachnoid villi

Слайд 297

Описание слайда:

Blood-Brain Barrier The barrier is a protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain The brain is very dependent on a contant internal environment Fluctuations in the concentration of ions, hormones, or amino acids, would alter the brain’s function Hormones and amion acids / neurotransmitters Ions / neuron thresholds (K+)

Слайд 298

Описание слайда:

Blood-Brain Barrier Bloodborne substances within the brain’s capillaries are separated from the extra- cellular space and neurons by Continuous endothelium of the capillary walls Relatively thick basal lamina surrounding the external face of the capillary To a limited extend the “feet” of the astrocytes that cling to the capillaries

Слайд 299

Описание слайда:

Blood-Brain Barrier The capillary endothelial cells are joined almost seamlessly by tight junctions They are the least permeable capillaries in the body The relative impermeability of brain capillaries accounts for most of the blood brain barrier

Слайд 300

Описание слайда:

Blood-Brain Barrier The blood-brain barrier is a selective, rather than absolute barrier Nutrients, such as glucose, essential amino acids, and some electrolytes, move passively by facilitated diffusion through the endothelial cell membranes Bloodborne metabolic wastes, such as urea and creatinine as well as proteins, certain toxins, and most drugs, are prevented from entering brain tissue

Слайд 301

Описание слайда:

Blood-Brain Barrier The barrier is ineffective against fats, fatty acids, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and other fat-soluble molecules that diffuse easily through all plasma membranes This explains why bloodborne alcohol, nicotine, and anesthetics can affect the brain The barrier is not completely uniform and not completely developed in infants
