Things I struggle with Part 3 Flashcards
(730 cards)
VPL nucelus
spinothalamic and dorsal columns/medial lemniscus- pain and termpature, pressure, touch, vibration, proprioception. first degress somatosensory
VPM nucelus
trigemenial and gustatosy- facial and taste sensation
LGN nucleus
CNII for ision
medial geniculate nucleus
superior olive and inferior colliculus of the tectum for hearing
ventral lateral nucelus
basal ganlgia and cerebellam for motor
limbic system- what are parts of it and function
hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus, and feeding, feeling, fighting, fleeing, fucking
mesocortical pathway
decreased activity leads to the negative symptoms of schizophrenia
mesolimbic pathway
increased activity leads to positive sympotms- target of anyipsychotic drugs
nigrostriatal patwhay
decreased activity leads to EPS symptoms-
tuboinfundibular pathway
decreased activity leads to increased prolactin
cerebeller lesion affects ipsi or contral
ipsilateral lesion=ipsi defect
the nuclei of the cerebellum from the lateral to mesail
dentate, emboliform, globose, fastigal
lateral cerebellar lesions do what
affect voluntary movement of extremities when injured there is propensity to fall towards the injured side
medial lesions of the cerebellum do waht
involvement of midline structures- tranquil ataxia, nystagmus, head tilting- bilateral axial defects
what does the basal ganglia do
it provides feed back to the cortex to modulate the movemetn
excitatory pathway of the basal ganglia
cortical inputs stimulate the striatum, stimulating the release of GABA which inhibits GABA release from the GPi disinhibiting the thalamus via GpI to increase motion
inhibitory pathway of the basal ganglia
cortical inputs stimulate the stiratum releasing GAB that disinhibits STN via GPe inhibition and STN stimulates GPi to inhibit the thalamus so decreased motion
dopamine in the basal ganglia
it binds D1 and this stimulates the excitatory pathway and D2 binds the inhibitory pathway to increase motion
athetosis
slow writhing movements especially with the fingers from the basal ganglia- writhing snake like movements
chorea
sudden jerky movemntts thatare purposeless from the basal ganglia
dystonia
sustains involuntar muscle contractions- like writers cramp and blepharspams eye lid twitch
essential tremor
high frequency tremor sustained with posture worsened with movement- contant tremor that tends to run in families-patients self medicate with alcohol- decreased tremor amplitude- beta blockers and primidone
hemibalsimus
sudden wild flailing of one arm and ipsilateral leg- contralaterla sub thalamic nucelus-
intention tremor
slow zigzag motion when posting extending toward a sudden target- tremor with movement from cerebellar dysfunction
