Q

CN 5 GSA (p)

Study These Flashcards
A

proprioception
from mesencephalic nucleus to:
- motor nucleus (jaw jerk reflex)
- supratrigeminal nucleus (chewing movements)

22
Q

trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux)

Study These Flashcards
A

excruciating lancing pain, trigger point

23
Q

trigeminal ascending projections

Study These Flashcards
A

From: Trigeminal spinal nucleus
From: Trigeminal pontine (principal) sensory nucleus
- To: Ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus (VPM)
- Internal capsule
- Postcentral gyrus parietal lobe (Brodmann’s areas 1, 2 & 3)

24
Q

parkinson’s disease is associated with what?

Study These Flashcards
A

bleached out substantia nigra (dopaminergic projections)

25
serotonin is associated with?
serotonergic nuclei in the raphe nuclei that project to the limbic system and the cerebral cortex
26
dopamine is associated with?
substantia nigra (basal ganglia/motor activity) and ventral tegmental area (limbic system)
27
norepinephrine is associated with?
- solitary nucleus (medulla) | - locus ceruleus (cortex and brainstem) and ventrolateral medulla (spinal cord) - rostral pons
28
acetylcholine is associated with?
``` basal forebrain (basal nucleus), alzheimers dorsolateral pontine tegmentum ```
29
ascending reticular activating system
NE (locus ceruleus), serotonin (raphe nuclei) and Ach (dorsolateral pontine tegmentum) stimulate preoptic area - inhibited by anterior hypothalamus - when inhibited (aka, ant. hypothalamus active) = sleep - when active (ant. hypothalamus inactive) = awake
30
what are pattern generators (and examples)
generate precalculated, rhythmic motor patters: 1. gaze centers (midbrain vertical; pontine horizontal) 2. mastication 3. locomotion 4. heart rate 5. respiration 6. swallowing/vomiting
31
periaqueductal gray - input?
- ascending input from sensory system | - descending input from limbic system
32
periaqueductal gray - output?
- to lower brainstem retiular formation (nucleus raphe magnus)
33
periaqueductal gray - activity?
- blocks pain, regulates heart rate and breathing, initiates defensive and reproductive behavior
34
subdivisions of the cerebellum
(from midline outward) - vestibulocerebellum (contains flocculonodular lobe, vermis/fastigial nucleus) - spinocerebellum (paravermal area/interposed nucleus) - pontocerebellum (lateral hemisphere/dentate nucleus)
35
vestibulocerebellum - input
vestibular apparatus, vestibular nuclei
36
vestibulocerebelllum - output
vestibular nuclei, oculomotor system in brainstem
37
vestibulocerebellum - lesion
1. nystagmus (back and forth eye movements) - watch my finger test 2. truncal ataxia (disturbances in balance while seated)
38
spinocerebellum - input and output
input: spinal cord output: red nucleus, rubrospinal/reticulospinal tracts
39
spinocerebellum - lesion
stance and gait ataxia - walk a straight line test
40
pontocerebellum - input and output
input: motor cortex output: thalamus (VL/VA) to motor cortex
41
pontocerebellum - lesion
arm and speech involvement: - intention tremor - Dysdiadochokinesia - rapid alternating movements - dysmetria - finger-to-nose test - dysarthria - scanning or explosive speech - slurred speech test
42
what is an essential tremor?
- 4-10 hz - genetic/familial - accentuated by stress and/or alcohol "what does a martini do to the olive" - increased activity in inferior olive with tremors - dysfunction of electrical synapses in inferior olive
43
kluver-bucy syndrome
- Compulsive manual manipulation of objects - Insatiable appetite (eats anything, cardboard, etc) - Sexual exhibitionism with frequent masturbation - Severe amnesia - both before & after surgery - Complete loss of aggressive behavior
44
pathway of hippocampal connections
1. input from sensory cortices 2. thru entorhinal cortex (area 28) 3. thru subiculum 4. thru dentate gyrus to hippocampus proper 5. divides to fimbria of fornix and back out following input pathway to sensory cortices SUMMARY: 1. sensory signals enter thru entorhinal cortex to hippocampus 2. memory of sensation exits thru same pathway out from hippocampus thru entorhinal cortex
45
Medial Temporal Lobe - function
receives processed input reflecting immediate surroundings. - entorhinal cortex: grid cells (map of environment) - hippocampus: place cells (location centered within restricted environment)
46
hypothalamus - input
- afferent autonomic signals from brainstem levels - retina - limbic system (hippocampus, amygdala)
47
hypothalamus - output
- pituitary gland (endocrine control) | - multisynaptic descending pathways (autonomic control)
48
hypothalamus - function
ensures survival of individual and species
49
Supraoptic and Paraventricular nuclei
- project to posterior pituitary - release oxytocin and vasopressin - "love hormone"
50
ventromedial nucleus
- lesion due to craniopharyngioma causes hyperphagia | - irritation of ventromedial nucleus causes anorexia
51
suprachiasmatic nucleus
- receives retinal input | - sets body's 24 hour clock
