00:01 this is lecture 21 off neuroscience and are reviewing some of the material we

00:13 in the last lecture on the central system pathways. And then we will

00:20 discussing the auditory system. So if recall we covered the anatomy of the

00:28 . We covered the projections, the MP and intermediary projections that come out

00:35 the retina and innovate the lateral Janica nucleus of the colonists. And from

00:41 from these six layers of the the information goes into the cortex and

00:48 , as is illustrated with this experiment labeled pro Lien was injected in long

00:58 and it shows that despite the fact you have information at the level of

01:04 optic tract that will contain fibers from eyes, if you inject information in

01:11 eye, you're going to notice that Manaka lor information from a single I

01:18 segregated at the level of the lateral Hewlett nucleus were each one of these

01:24 G M layers, the two magna and the four power layers. They

01:29 information from just one I and that information from the retina to the thalamus

01:38 to the primary visual cortex is 1 1 representation point by point representation off

01:46 visual world that is out there, a point individual point. It has

01:50 point in direction of the process is it has a point in the

01:54 O. J. Nicholas layer the that, as well as in the

01:58 visual cortex and the primary visual cortex information of layer four. That's where

02:03 major inputs from the L. G innovate into the neocortex, therefore,

02:10 a stripe like a heralds and the where each of these lines, the

02:16 lines represent ocular dominance from one I are interspersed with darker stain lines.

02:25 these represent the dominance innovated by and coming from another I. So we

02:34 these ocular dominance columns of the layer the primary visual cortex. Once

02:42 that information remains segregated and remains hman . It innovates into the stride

02:51 Onda therefore Isman ocular, but then from layer four into upper layers to

03:00 in the New York cortex is where see the blending off this information,

03:05 it's no longer separated. Segregated ocular information from one eye to the

03:11 but rather binocular early blended information. if you recall, this is the

03:20 flow. Some critically M and P will generate layer for an intermediary.

03:30 or non MP pathways will bypass and layer 23 and we believe these air

03:36 concerned with the color information processing. these Salama cortical inputs, then from

03:42 four intra cortical of information, gets into layers to three. This is

03:48 you have the lateral spread of the and communication between adjacent columns of the

03:54 York cortex and between adjacent areas. projecting all the way to other areas

04:00 extra stride or outside of the primary cortex to secondary tertiary coordinator for,

04:06 , Centenary. And so on. Larry in 23 is this information is

04:12 shared within the cortex that also informs deeper layers of the cortex. And

04:17 people are the cortex will put their backs of cortical e and also in

04:23 for inputs off the outgoing activity that coming out of the cortex into the

04:30 cortical tissues. So now you have Salama cortical projections. Inside the

04:35 you have the loop 4 to 3 suppressant laterally informs 56 six and forms

04:43 four, and you have this loop . It's called Intra Cortical Loop signaling

04:49 . And then the last connections go from the cortex into the columns.

04:54 you remember we discussed that columnist receives of its inputs from the cortex.

05:00 of the outputs from the retina going the columns. But what's in the

05:04 ? Most Most of the inputs and columns air coming from these Salama cortical

05:10 , uh, inputs that are coming from visual cortex back into the

05:14 G. M. Onda from other cortical areas into their respective Islamic

05:22 Blobs are associated with a side of Marx today, stain, which

05:28 ah, increased energy metabolism. it is associated with color processing,

05:37 it isn't a non MP inputs the or the con, your cellular inputs

05:44 are responsible for this recall that at level of the retina, the level

05:50 L. G. M. If were to record activity from the retinal

05:55 cells or from the relay south and G M, you would record receptive

06:01 properties that are center surround on and or off and on concentric luminescence like

06:11 of the outside world. And when start recording what the primary visual cortex

06:18 are responsive when you capture. So is looking at this window in the

06:23 field, you realize that the south the primary visual cortex are not responsive

06:29 the receptive fields air no longer. consented on and off except the fields

06:34 the south, or most responsive, bars of life, individual field,

06:39 not only bars of light. But the bar is in this orientation is

06:44 in this diagram, you will neuron respond with the maximal amount of the

06:49 potentials. That means that this sell recording from in the primary visual cortex

06:55 most responsive. Teoh a bar in certain orientation, a bar of light

07:01 this visual field of view in the orientation. And if you shift that

07:06 off, this bar of light into horizontal issues is shown here below.

07:10 can see that the number of action and the coding of that information is

07:16 a strong in this particular cell. it tells you that this particular cell

07:20 you're recording from prefers this specific orientation the bars of life and this

07:29 Selectivity is also in layer for cells also coupled with directions of activity.

07:36 means that the neuron zehr not only of the bars of life, but

07:41 also arm or responsive. If that of light is being passed through the

07:46 field onto which that cell is receiving from in one direction over that.

07:52 so if you pass the bar of here from left to right, you

07:56 a lot of action potentials and layer cells. But if you pass that

08:01 bar and you're recording from the same from right to left through its receptive

08:07 , you generate just a number of potentials here as it crosses into the

08:11 of the receptive fields. But for rest of the time, as this

08:16 crossing across the receptive field, you now actual potential being produced So there

08:23 direction Selectivity. Now, if you these, uh, concentric on and

08:30 receptive fields or center surround receptive fields retina are similar to the ones that

08:39 would see in the L G M the L G M neurons converge onto

08:46 for neuron. So the L. M inputs have come into the cortex

08:50 converge onto the south, from which recording in the primary visual cortex.

08:55 if you can now imagine taking these centers around cells with on Senator receptive

09:04 properties and blending them together, converging information together you would get again a

09:09 of life, the bar of life a certain direction. A certain

09:16 um so complex cells again are And the point off discussing the simple

09:27 complex cells really is the fact that the level of the retina at the

09:33 of L. G m the visual representation would be luminescence off these on

09:41 off center surround concentric, receptive And once you get to the primary

09:48 cortex simple cells, they have varieties different, receptive field properties. The

09:55 of these receptive fields are very They can be semi circle, so

10:00 bars of live in certain orientation. the convergence of these concentric cells on

10:07 simple cells and the convergence of simple further onto the complex cells from the

10:13 cortex that now give us a variety shapes that we're perceiving there in the

10:20 visual world in this variety of shapes the primary visual cortex creates what we

10:26 a primal sketch. Primal Sketch is contours and lines the sir primal or

10:35 off the receptive field properties off the visual cortex cells capable of putting the

10:43 rudimentary image off the outside world that the contoured lines, the shapes,

10:49 has emotion, and it also has color and then subsequently, ah lot

10:56 complex Hierarchically Mawr complex processing Visual information in V two V three, and

11:03 , once it reaches the association is where information from these multiple sensory

11:13 and these multiple sensory cortical areas will blended together on will be also blended

11:22 with the state off. Being oven on the emotional state of being on

11:32 physical state of being and other aspect aspects and in the end, well

11:40 us to form a complete picture of outside world and make certain cognitive tasks

11:49 well as motor outputs accordingly. So and weasel, where the really famous

11:57 describe these what we call orientation and they were describing these orientation columns

12:05 micro electrodes so they would essentially stick electrodes. This column will contain tens

12:13 thousands off neurons within this column so would stick different electorates is in the

12:19 , and they would realize that Wait second. If we go to the

12:22 center of the area, we get that are responsive to different orientations of

12:27 . But if we go on to edge of the column, the cells

12:31 responsible to the vertical orientation of But if we go on to the

12:36 outside of this micro column, the , they're mostly responsive to the same

12:42 but to a bar of life that is in the horizontal orientation. And

12:50 what these colors represent here is that color stands for a group of cells

12:58 is most responsive to a certain orientation that bar off white, which is

13:06 for that style. And it's receptive properties and coded as well. And

13:11 as you move around these micro which are essentially 30 to 100 micrometers

13:18 , the cortex is about two millimeters , three millimeters deep and you have

13:25 , uh, basically can well like and these orientation columns. These dots

13:35 individual cells. Blue dots, green , yellow dots. Red dots represent

13:41 cells that are most responsive. Thio orientation of life. So these air

13:47 heat maps that represent the levels of . In this case, the color

13:53 this map corresponds to a certain Certain angle off the orientation off this

14:02 off light, as indicated below blue all of the vertical bars of light

14:09 red eyes, all of the horizontal off life. So the same image

14:18 can be done with both of sensitive image ing. And we will discuss

14:23 when we talk about some matter sensory and talk about brain maps that will

14:28 some videos that show some voltage sensitive image ing movies and what it means

14:33 the general. We'll discuss some very , uh, image ing techniques,

14:39 , later in the course. But we have to also talk about high

14:44 column. So you have these orientation Collins and these micro columns. So

14:50 joined into hyper columns, hyper for example. You can see this

14:55 patch of the cortex that will contain lateral off on contra lateral ocular dominance

15:03 . Within these ocular dominance columns, will have multiple orientation columns processing information

15:10 visual field from different orientation and bars life. In the middle of these

15:16 dominance columns, you will see darker for cytochrome oxidase days, indicating blobs

15:22 higher increases in metabolic energy specialist too, but also as five and

15:28 . And if you look in this here, you see this. If

15:32 look longer, you see this light shaped fork in light color.

15:37 this is, Ah, optical imaging that we call intrinsic optical signal that

15:42 not require any stain or any And if you stimulate one, I

15:49 you can. On the surface of cortex is you have access to the

15:53 of the cortex can actually see changes the reflective properties of the neurons,

15:59 more active neurons will be consuming more and showing certain swelling of the cells

16:07 thereby changing the reflective properties off off tissue off the brain tissue without any

16:17 . And so this is a very imaging technique. It's more, of

16:21 , of the experimental image ing But in general, as we,

16:28 , come back to the brain maps we'll talk about all of the functional

16:32 techniques will review the things that we've covered, such as calcium imaging.

16:38 talk about both its sensitive damaging to techniques that help you understand the signaling

16:43 the synapses and also the signaling in own networks. And then we'll move

16:48 into mawr of clinical application and remind was the two types of the functional

16:54 ing that we've already discussed. And a functional magnetic resonance imaging and positive

17:04 emission tomography on. Of course, , when we talk about neuronal circuits

17:10 activity image and we'll also discuss voltage damaging as well. So we'll come

17:17 to the slide and we'll elaborate quite bit on neural activity image and,

17:23 , not quite a bit, but probably dedicate about 15 or 20 minutes

17:28 time to this in the next couple lectures. Mhm. So this is

17:37 starting the discussion on the hearing And as with visual system, we

17:47 describe what life is s o. first here will describe what sound is

17:56 what what what hearing is hearing, is neural perception off sound energy.

18:06 it's neural perception off these particles moving the air. Sound waves move at

18:20 m per second for 767 m Um, so if you were watching

18:34 launch off the space six, you have seen that when the rocket was

18:40 off the austra noughts and the I was watching the clicker that was

18:47 the speed. And it was really , because when it went above 767

18:55 , they went supersonic on didn't stop . I don't know what the

19:03 um, velocity or speed waas, I believe I know that it was

19:10 6000 MPH. At some point, were trekking really, really fast,

19:18 away from the gravity to go into orbit eso 343 m per second or

19:28 MPH. What they are is traveling of air. And of course,

19:34 sound waves are slower than light. if you see fireworks, who will

19:40 see a flash, and with some , you will see not only the

19:46 but with some delay. You will the sound from those fireworks going

19:53 Okay, so now what these waves off is ultimate regions off compression and

20:03 faction off air molecules. So imagine you took a pitchfork, a sound

20:11 , and you get it on a thing. What did we do is

20:16 two sides of the fork with So this vibration then creates these waves

20:25 compression and rare faction and send those in the form of sound radiated out

20:31 the form of sounds. It's really vibration. It's a vibration of your

20:38 cords and your sound box, which your mouth, and the movement of

20:46 tongue and lips that produces difference movement these molecules air molecules that you can

20:56 through the microphone right now where you hear it coming from the speaker.

21:02 if you haven't analog system record label to tube amplifier. The speaker.

21:11 the closest, um, analog But if you have digital system,

21:16 have digital CD player or your phone connected through Bluetooth to a speaker or

21:27 ear, but in your ear will these tiny speakers that all have

21:33 And so when the information, the analog information this amplified and sent to

21:42 speaker's vibrates, the membranes and the of these speakers and the vibration of

21:51 diaphragms of the speakers produced the compression rare faction off the air molecules and

22:00 changing the air this air pressure and your sword like fashion over distance.

22:07 over time, human audible range is to 20,000 hertz or 20 kilohertz.

22:18 above 20 kilohertz or 20,000 hertz is . Um ah. Lot of animals

22:28 this world have communications that our ultrasound dolphins and herring and other fish can

22:39 and perceived frequencies as high as 180 . Very, very, very high

22:48 , very, very high pitch So infrasound, on the other

22:56 is below 20 hurts and infrasound below . Hertz is car vibrations, but

23:06 Subbu for vibrations. And if you at some of the Subbu for

23:11 if you are into audio equipment, are looking at some specifications for sub

23:18 for us to see that some of will be listed to go down to

23:21 hertz. It hurts, and that not no longer perceived by our.

23:30 the sensor organs, but it can be perceived by the mechanical movement off

23:35 air. So if you're standing close the Subbu far, you can sense

23:39 movements a matter sensory movement off this if it is really, really

23:47 which is the intensity of sound. low frequency sound as you can think

23:54 low pitch or high frequency is Pitch low intensity is high. Intensity

24:04 the same page, but much Okay, that's that's the difference.

24:11 , so the frequency really tells you pitch and the intensity is the amplitude

24:19 these waves. Now this information enters the outer ear and then into the

24:26 air and finally in the inner where these sound waves and mechanical vibrations

24:34 translated into an electrochemical signal. In outer air. You have the

24:41 which is the outside of the air have specific shape that drives the signals

24:47 the auditory canal. It's also refer as external auditory mediators. Auditory

24:55 That sound vibration reaches the 10 panic or the ear drum, and the

25:01 groom is connected to three very small called the also calls. And when

25:06 is vibration and the auditory canal vibration the air drown, the to panic

25:12 is in amplified vibration of the obstacles the middle Aaron movement of the oval

25:20 , which is connected to the cochlear off the vestibular cochlea. Perata's.

25:28 if you recall, this is cranial eight, which is auditory, vestibular

25:34 or the stimulus cochlear nerve, if may. The top portion of this

25:39 the vestibular Peratis, and we're not going to discuss the stimulus varieties or

25:45 stimulus A portion of the stimulus but rather the cochlear portion in the

25:52 hearing system hearing apparatus that is located in the inner ear in the cochlea

25:59 the outputs of it comprised auditory or cochlear component of cranial nerve.

26:05 Which is this tubular cochlear nerve. is another representation of the anatomy off

26:12 here, from outer to inner Pinar external here, external auditory mediators or

26:19 Ear Canal or the auditory canal. is if you have obstruction of

26:25 This is where you have poor Thio here. If you have obstruction

26:31 wax, of course, you have clean it very carefully. Um,

26:36 middle here you have the Tim panic and then you have the auditory obstacles

26:44 you also have for middle ear from region right here, an extension from

26:51 from the hearing of Peratis, almost this region here into the fairing What

26:57 call the use station to it's illustrated well here, and you station tube

27:03 used to balance out the pressure in pharynx on dwa. Once you have

27:11 the pressure, you can hear things well. So a lot of times

27:15 doing the pressure changes, you may obstruction of hearing a little bit,

27:21 if you're on the plane you're or going downhill with a car, your

27:28 . People say my ears are and that's because the pressure is

27:33 And if it is not equalizing, can help yourself popular here. So

27:38 will see people looking like this on . That's what I did, kind

27:43 gasping for here, trying to move this area here that is connected to

27:48 station tube to equalize the pressure so my hearing is not dampened. You

27:55 also see people on a lot of grabbing their noses and Canada trying to

28:01 their ears open. And that's again trying to equalize the pressure through the

28:07 station tomb is also a place that quite often a very nice, moist

28:17 between the firings, the throat and air that is conducive to bacterial environment

28:26 . And so, if you hear saying, Oh, my child or

28:31 child, it's often and Children had tubes replaced. What does that

28:36 That means that they had a plastic here inserted replacing the station tube.

28:44 reason why, uh, it is often and young Children is if young

28:51 during the auditory system development. If Children during this auditory system development

28:58 um cannot hear very well because they infections, they can lose the sense

29:07 hearing Okay, so if you don't well and you have chronic ear

29:15 then you have an insertion of these tubes. Replacement of the station tubes

29:21 then plastic is not a very good for bacteria to grow, so you're

29:26 doing that in case of chronic ear to prevent any loss to hearing development

29:33 loss of hearing during the early Now, during the early development,

29:38 is very important that we understand the information incoming sensor information If we deprive

29:48 developing brain from sensor incoming information if hearing is dampened because the here's a

29:55 If the hearing is dampened because of chronic, uh, ear infections,

30:03 will be in effect not only on the language but also including the synaptic

30:10 connections. And for us to understand I mean by that, I'm actually

30:16 paddle back into the visual system. going to remind you something about the

30:22 system that I forgot to do, ? And I will talk about a

30:32 important concept off plasticity. We just about basically how important it is to

30:38 the sensor information in the developing and I wanted to come back to

30:43 visual system and highlight this example. know, for example, that laterals

30:49 Nicollet nucleus inputs innovate layer for in New York or types, and we

30:56 have this concept off critical period of This is one very important take home

31:03 and this take home message refers Any system need visual system. Auditory

31:09 amount of sensory any sensory systems where have external stimulation. There's critical period

31:15 development, and not only in sensory in general, in brain system and

31:20 body system in the brain circuitry, in particular, and humans. This

31:27 period of development is varied, but have a lot of brain development.

31:34 Natalie. That is happening within the few years of life and mawr.

31:41 animal species such as rodents such as or rats. If you're looking at

31:47 development of the visual system, when critical period of development, when there

31:52 the most plasticity in the visual system retina, L, G N and

31:58 cortex, this is happening over the month of life, sometimes into the

32:05 month of life. But critical period development and rodents for the visual system

32:11 about the first 3 to 4 post weeks of life. And so what

32:20 if you interfere with a sensory What happens if you have a partial

32:28 short term deprivation of the sensor input sensory stimulation. So this is an

32:35 where you have deprivation off the visual , you Soochow one eyelid or these

32:44 rodents and you do this. Damon ocular deprivation. Three days.

32:51 animal is deprived from vision from one , and what you do later is

32:57 look at the ocular dominance. We that there is equal ocular dominance of

33:02 dominance that's represented by these ocular dominance . We have the ocular dominance

33:09 Okay, this ocular dominance So left and right eye. And as you

33:15 see normal, you have the same dedicated toe left, eyes you have

33:20 to write. I left, I , I left my right eye.

33:24 the cells in the cortex are in brains are equally responsive from the inputs

33:30 the left to the right. I have their ocular dominance, but they

33:36 equally a strong response of right. sells this area to the image inputs

33:41 right. I left I from Now what happens if you deprive this

33:48 during early development? It's in that . You Souter the island for three

33:57 and then two months of age. one month after this short term,

34:03 day deprivation. Does a mouse a not seeing the outside visual input.

34:12 happens when you stimulate about ice and record the cells that are responsive to

34:19 input from the left or the right ? You can see that even after

34:25 days, there is, ah, in the cortex and in the cells

34:31 responsibility to the eye that remained open this three day period. Mhm.

34:40 what happens if you extend this three ocular deprivation in the six days off

34:48 and operation. What happens then, that one month later. So remember

34:55 just closing the island here instead of days for six days during this critical

35:02 of development, this critical period of ? Uh huh. Then you come

35:08 a month later, you stimulate both , and now you know, they

35:13 one eye in the cortical cells when I stimulated are no longer responsive to

35:20 and the ocular dominance That means that entire cortex has now shifted. It's

35:27 connections and shifted Is responsiveness toe on ? The I that remained open and

35:34 tells you that this is a very change and sometimes can be a permanent

35:40 . That's why any sensor information be it visual information deprivation or auditory

35:46 deprivation will restructure neuronal circuits and even short term deprivations. But if they

35:54 during the critical period of development, also can have long term of

36:01 Now, during the critical period of tells you that if you reverse this

36:06 early on and it happens during the period of development, you still can

36:12 a lot of the activity a lot the responsibility for the high. But

36:16 this damage becomes longer for this, becomes longer than you may have a

36:22 shift and ocular dominance to the eye remained open. If you look on

36:28 diagram, you're on the left. term binocular deprivation shows that you still

36:33 really strong bushy projections that air coming the columnists, and there's aware for

36:40 the neocortex at the same time. you look at the this is the

36:46 I and if you look at the I This is short term binocular deprivation

36:50 the deprived. I just short term deprivation of 3 to 6 days.

36:57 happens in the is the ax. the deprived. I show massive

37:04 So you don't have as much of innovation coming from the columnist into the

37:09 anymore because that I was irrelevant. it happened during the critical period of

37:16 , this critical period of plasticity in you can like in this critical period

37:22 plasticity quite easily Thio languages on toe foreign languages. If, for

37:31 you came Teoh a country where it's your native language at a very early

37:38 , like four or 56 and you studying English language, let's say,

37:43 United States from very early age and came to this country when you were

37:48 or a child, then you possibly Ah, no accent. Um,

37:57 false. Cannot say if you have foreign background by listening to you speak

38:06 . If you come to this country or if you start learning another language

38:11 18 years old and you put the amount of time, you may not

38:17 able, Thio develop the same So this plasticity. And if you

38:25 start learning the language in the twenties thirties and you're putting a lot of

38:29 in tow learning these languages. You not be able Thio perfect this language

38:34 skills. And so, um, some of us are immigrants that came

38:40 this country and if you came here you came with older parents, for

38:45 , then there's a stark difference and your parents were perfectly understand English and

38:52 speak English. But they have very accent, and maybe it's difficult to

38:57 sort of things in Grandma because they that language of a much later

39:02 And you are somebody younger may have another. Foreign language is a much

39:08 age when you have a lot of , when you have this critical period

39:12 development where you can not only cause deprivation, restructuring and you know these

39:22 damage. But also during this critical of development, you can cause a

39:26 of synaptic plasticity and development of the . And that's why any type of

39:33 information input is very, very important the visual and if you have the

39:40 , it tells you just 3 to days of visual inputs, you restructure

39:45 cortex permanent and you may regain some that function, but depending on the

39:52 period and the duration off this, , this case deprivation, let's go

40:00 to the auditory system again that if were to deprive an auditory signal and

40:06 fact, there are studies that show students that sit in the back of

40:11 classrooms and if there is not a good audio projection in the classroom not

40:18 good sound that they don't perform a , just not by hearing. So

40:22 you can understand that during the critical of development, if you have obstruction

40:28 hearing, uh, either physical or have obstruction and hearing because of the

40:36 , then you could be changing the of the circuitry and the Coakley and

40:42 on up into the central auditory processing . So again, let's look in

40:49 closer into this anatomy. In the of the ear drum on the movement

40:55 the ear and the were faction and of the air molecules would then essentially

41:02 into the auditory canal, remove the and the movement off this drum

41:08 This Tim panic membrane would start moving nah Lius, which is connected to

41:14 interests and they're connected to the Um, increases connected to the stay

41:20 and stay peace. It was like arm that is now going to very

41:25 , depending on the frequency of the . Vibrations is going to translate this

41:31 , uh, frequencies in and the air molecules into mechanical vibration of the

41:39 drum into a mechanical vibration. Off , uh, stay peas, obstacle

41:48 . Uh, that is now going vibrate the over window off the

41:54 And so the obstacles will amplify the of the air drum because you have

42:02 connections and you have angles and you torque so you can amplify the mechanical

42:09 of the air drum even further. then once you stimulate the oval

42:17 then you're stimulating the window that is to the fluid filled chambers off the

42:24 . It Coakley in general, is up sort of like a snail.

42:30 if you were thio, unwrap the , and the size of that coakley

42:35 humans is about this size of a pea on. If you were

42:41 unwrap on fold this cochlear. This uncoiled cochlea, which you would see

42:47 you were cutting through the cochlear. a three chambers, the scholar,

42:50 stipulated scholar media and Scalia timpani. three of them are fluid filled

42:56 and the scaly media will contain the of Corti that is responsible for trans

43:03 the movement the fluid through the hair , which is McCann, a

43:09 So individual system. We had photo , and in the next lecture,

43:14 will talk about mechanical receptors. How mechanical movement of the dictatorial membrane following

43:21 movement of the fluid is encoded as electrochemical signals by the hair sauce that

43:28 then projected out of the KO A cochlear component of the studio.

43:34 . A cranial nerve. Eight. also a certain structure in anatomy to

43:41 cochlear. This is that the You have the open window, and

43:45 the apex you have structure called Hillary . Here, this is the apex

43:50 the cochlea. On the top, have this count of the stimulate.

43:53 is callin media, the bottom of heart, the scholar timpani, which

43:57 has the round when we'll come back more of the scenario and the following

44:03 , the last thing I would like discuss today. ISS the attenuation

44:08 And as you can see, there these stupid IUs muscle and tends to

44:14 . Muscle these air the muscles that can control, how much the obstacles

44:24 moving and attenuation reflexes a reflex of you're hearing a loud sound. Imagine

44:32 . What do you do when you a loud sound coming from someplace and

44:37 repetitive, All the first answers. cover your ears, you put the

44:44 plugs on. Why do you want do that? Well, excessive movement

44:49 the air, drunken rupture, the drum, intense sound waves, intense

44:55 waves can rupture the air drums. sound, intense airwaves that it doesn't

45:02 to the air drum. It can vibrate the obstacles to such an extent

45:09 costs such a mechanical movement, massive of pressure and mechanical movement across the

45:15 of Corti that can actually kill the assaults and result in the hearing

45:22 Who will discuss that as we talked the inner and outer hair cells and

45:27 irreversible hearing loss that can happen when go and listen to a very loud

45:33 on DSO What do you do if have loud noise coming and you don't

45:39 cover your ears? Let's say you're two bags off fish Eso You're too

45:47 your hands and this loud noises So what do you dio? I

45:51 kind of illustrated kind of like squint like docking squint Or what it does

45:59 that does attenuation reflex Try doing it you will see if that you do

46:03 . As I'm talking, you'll hear less so we have the ability it

46:08 thio attenuate the sound by stiffening the . So not allowing the movement of

46:14 articles to be exaggerated to such an that it becomes damaging to our

46:19 Try incidents reflexive because again, you cover over the years. So you

46:24 of do this funny squinting movement and like trying toe stepping up the articles

46:32 stiffening about the muscles that are working obstacles and preventing the potential damage thio

46:39 cochlear cells to the hair cells. , so we'll stop here today and

46:44 pick up and talk about the auditory from or on the following lecture and

46:49 into the somatic sensory system. So thank you very much and I will

46:55 you the next lecture. Take
