25
In the post central sulcus what is the primary cortex?
Primary sensory cortex: Sensory homunculcus
26
What are the cortical mapping regions?
Broadmans areas
27
What happens to the brain in Alzheimers disease? causes?
- genetic mutations +/- environmental factors - decrease in cortical neurons (frontal lobes) - decrease in Gyri volume = large sulci
28
definition of Alzheimer disease and the lobes associated with it
Progressive loss of neurons/ synapses due to proteopathy frontal = (new memories, motivation) temporal = (new memories and language) parietal lobe = (navigation)
29
what dementia is Alzheimers related to?
75% Seile dementia - deteriation of organizational/focus tasks - memory loss (short term follows long term)
30
What does the diencephalon do?
Brings information like eating (judgement of things)
31
What makes up the diencephalon? (box)
Epithalmus thalmus hypothalmus 3rd ventricle
32
function of the epithalmus?
(pineal gland) | - pineal gland secretes melatonin (sleep patterns)
33
function of the Thalmus?
Relay/processing center for sensory infromation
34
functions of the Hypothalmus?
- controls thirst appetite, body temp - coordinates the ANS - coordinates endocrine - secretes hormones - oxytocin (uterum prostate) - antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (kidney) - integrates sensory and motor commands - related to emotion (conscious and unconscious thought) - pituitary gland lies beneath the hypothalamus - suspended by infundibulum - supported within the sella turcica beneath sphenoid
35
Name the parts of the mesencephalon
- corpora quadrigemina - superior colliculi - inferior colliculi - red nucleus - substantia nigra - cerebral peduncles
36
what does the corpora quadrigemina?
- integrates visual/ auditiory data superior colliculi - sight inferior colliculi - sound
37
what does the Red nucleus do?
maintains muscle tone and posture | - swinging arms while walking
38
What does the Substantia Nigra?
neurotransmitter dopamine - drop in dopamine causes increase muscle tone "dope" - pakinsons disease: tremors in muscles
39
what do the Cerebral peduncles do?
support the cerebrum
40
what are the parts of the metencepalon?
- cerebellum - folia - folds of cerebellar cortex - arbor vitae - grey/ white matter - punkinje cells - highly branched cells in cortex - Pons
41
what are the functions of the cerebellum?
- coordinates postural/skeletal muscles of body - programming of repetitive movements (subconscious) - 2 hemispheres and vermis splits between
41
what are the functions of the cerebellum?
- coordinates postural/skeletal muscles of body - programming of repetitive movements (subconscious) - 2 hemispheres and vermis splits between
41
what are the functions of the cerebellum?
Post. portion of metencephalon - coordinates postural/skeletal muscles of body - programming of repetitive movements (subconscious) - 2 hemispheres and vermis splits between
42
what are the functions of the cerebellum?
- coordinates postural/skeletal muscles of body - programming of repetitive movements (subconscious) - 2 hemispheres and vermis splits between
43
what is the function of the pons?
anterior portion portion of metencephalon 4 important CN's (V, VI, VII, VIII) - respiratory center (fine tuning) - associated with "sleep paralysis"
44
what are the 5 important CN associated with the medulla oblongata?
``` CN VIII CN IX CN X CN XI CN XII ```
45
describe the medulla oblongata
- transition from the brain to spinal cord - autonomic centers for visceral function (cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive systems) - injury can lead to death (compression of the myelencephalon on the foramen magnum) - fourth ventricle shared by pons + medulla oblongata
46
where are the Grey matter on the cerebrum and cerebellum?
neuron bodies make up the cortex/cortical surface or non-cortical concentration of cells = nucleus
47
where are the white matter on the cerebrum and cerebellum?
White: myelinated axons (sub-cortical) - association fibers between gyri within hemisphere - commissural fibers between gyri of opp. hemispheres - projection fibers ascend/decend to CNS
48
What are the functions of the Limbic System?
1. includes many nuclei spread through brain - rather than anatomical grouping of nuclei 2. Links conscious thought w/ autonomic functions of brain stem - behavior and emotional states: thirst, hunger, sex 3. learning and the storage/recal of long-term memory - smell of grandma = emotion
49
What is Synesthesia ?
(letters/ numbers may be interpreted as colors, and sounds as shapes) typically a hereditary neurological condition - common among artists and poets - "error" in the re-assembly various inputs (cross wirring) - hyper-connectivity within the libic (PET/MRI brain-imaging technology)
50
falx cerebri
- runs between cerebral hemispheres | - anchored anteriorly to crista galli of ethmoid
51
Falx cerebelli
runs between cerebellar hemispheres
52
Tentorium cerebelli
runs between cerebrum and cerebellum
53
Diaphragma sellae
- encloses the pituitary gland
54
Dural sinuses
delamination of dura mater - forms cavity for venous blood - outermost layer forms enodsteum
55
What is the circulation of the CSF?
1. produced by choroid plexus - capillary beds in each ventricle - refined filtrate in blood 2. circulates: ventricles, central canal, subarachnoid 3. recovered vi arachnoid villi (arachnoid grandulations) 4. transports nutrients and removes waste products 5. CSF cushions neural tissue - "floats" the brain
56
What are the 2 types of Hydrocehalus?
- internal hydrocephalus | - external hydrocehalus
57
What is internal hydrocephalus ?
- failure of the CSF to escape from the ventricles | - expansion of CSF
58
What is external hydrocephalus?
failure of the CSF to be returned to the dural sinuses | - CSF into brain (crush brain)
