00:00 This is the continuation off this Sensory system lecture we left off talking

00:07 Dermot. Tom's herpes zoster virus can chicken pox how the virus can remain

00:17 and then can reappear in one in . One dorsal root ganglion on one

00:26 highlighting one of the Dermot owns, are essentially the projections, Um,

00:34 you can see outline here on the and each one of these areas outlined

00:42 corresponds Teoh, a single spinal nerve to either the left or the right

00:48 of that nerve. Okay, so when we studied the visual system,

00:55 looked at the visual projections and the projections came from the retina into thalamus

01:04 into the primary visual cortex. When looked at the auditory system, the

01:11 projections where from the here, right the cochlea spiral ganglion South CO klia

01:25 superior, olive in fear. Ical ous in the brains town mediagenic alert

01:34 of the columns and the primary auditory . So you should be able to

01:38 these visual projections and pathways and auditory and pathways. So when we talk

01:47 the sensory neurons and the C N , we have Thio realize that there

01:58 certain fiber since a matter sensor information we discussed early on that is more

02:08 in nature. So we talked about reflex arch, and we talked about

02:15 just an activation of, ah sensory and one motor output can cause a

02:22 of a muscle. And then anything happens at the level of the spinal

02:29 , especially if anything moves, will inform through this ascending dorsal call on

02:37 through these ascending pathways will inform the water processing centers all the way.

02:43 was a matter sensory cortex. So some ways, you may think that

02:50 what happens at the level of the cord and even what may happen at

02:54 level of the brain stem, in ways it's somewhat reflexive is things that

03:01 don't think about much when I say at the level of the brain

03:08 I mean the psychotic eye movement, superior curricula sauce, the processing off

03:14 information and inferior calculus. Is there of the very rudimentary information processing is

03:21 When, uh, we talk about , we're talking also about the breathing

03:29 , the vital body centers that we think about the activity of how often

03:35 breathe or how fast our heart rate , uh, beating until there's something

03:42 . And, uh, these air controls that are seamless at the level

03:47 the spinal cord. They're more or reflexive. But if it reaches any

03:51 the higher processing centers in the thalamus in the cortex, then you can

03:57 of these areas becoming conscious, so speak, projections because now it gets

04:04 consciously the neocortex and gets bound with sensory inputs that might be simultaneous with

04:13 matter. Sensory inputs. And at the level of the spinal

04:18 these projections from the spinal cord will up. It's still laterally through the

04:24 column until it we just the dorsal nuclei here at Cut number two,

04:30 is through the doula blah anggada. this is it's the lateral information until

04:37 reaches medulla blonde gotta And from there have information that crosses over control

04:44 So if you recall now the nucleus the solemn asses ventral posterior eventual posterior

04:52 nucleus. This is the VP stands venture posterior nucleus of the Palomas.

04:58 where this amount of sensor connections air in and from the thalamus again.

05:04 of the sensor information goes in the and remember, visual information goes through

05:10 lot. Algae, Nicollet, nucleus information through media lja Nicollet nucleus spinal

05:16 matter sensor information from ventral posterior nucleus the thalamus From the following list These

05:23 going to their respective primary cornices Primary cortex, primary auditory cortex. In

05:28 case, it goes into the So matter sensory cortex area s one

05:35 in the parietal low. Uh, close to the primary motor area,

05:42 you recall. Okay, So two things is that if you go to

05:50 school or if you go into any therapy where you study spinal cord injury

05:56 recovery from spinal cord injury, you'll that damage to the fibers up Thio

06:05 blonde gotta will remain on the insta side. But damage above will obviously

06:13 be contra lateral origin. Uh, know, on the other hand,

06:21 that comes from brain stem in the and the head is processed by trigeminal

06:30 . Five. If you remember, is trigeminal nerve, which is cranial

06:37 five And these a large mechanical receptors phase. And if you recall this

06:44 both sensory motor. So the same through cranial nerve, you will have

06:50 sensor information that goes up to the somatic sensory cortex. Again, it

06:56 over here at the level that the one okay, through the principal sensory

07:03 nucleus here crosses over projects into the posterior nucleus of the columnist and from

07:11 into the somatic sensory primary somatic sensory . So all of the information below

07:18 neck from the spinal cord basically crosses at the level of medulla goes to

07:27 , goes to the primary sensor All of the information above the neck

07:33 in the face is processed by cranial . Five trigeminal nerve, five fibers

07:39 carry that cross over that information. I'm carrying through the eventual posterior nucleus

07:44 the primary somatic sensory cortex. So we talk about maps and we talked

07:53 maps and the visual cortex, and we talk about cortical maps or representations

08:01 , what we see is the outside reflected in the anatomical structuring off the

08:09 . Well, we talk about We talk about ocular dominance columns,

08:14 example. So you remember that in primary visual cortex that was ocular dominance

08:20 . There's a columns that were dominated either the left or the right

08:26 So when we look in the primary sensory cortex, of course you will

08:32 the overall structure off homunculus reflected in primaries amount of sensor cortex that will

08:42 similar. Thio this individual. So will be an actual cortical map,

08:48 , represented in the primary sensory cortex the body of all of the somatic

08:56 . So it's a matter. Sensory receives dance input from dental posterior

09:02 which is in the following months. neurons in this matter sensor cortex

09:08 Remember, this is a central sulcus separates a front of love from the

09:13 lobe and then the other side of central focus. In the frontal

09:18 you will have the primary motor and here in the parietal lobe,

09:25 have some matter. Sensory cortex area primary, somatic sensory cortex. And

09:30 like with the one visual cortex one two, you have some matter.

09:35 s one s two s, three tertiary, and so on until reaches

09:41 57 in it again reaches association areas this amount of sensor information is blended

09:48 information from other sensory modality, such vision, hearing and other cortical processing

09:57 such as emotions and logic and and such legions in this region.

10:04 if you legion somatic sensory cortex, there's a damage sense of somatic sensory

10:10 in Paris, somatic sensations. So you have a lesion to some matter

10:14 cortex, you may not have somatic . You may have impaired somatic

10:20 or they could be even sometimes Uh, but it could be

10:27 A loss of function on it could exaggerated function, depending on the amount

10:34 damage and the specificity, anatomical specificity that damage. So if you were

10:40 , electrical stimulates a matter sensor Cortex simulation amongst the matter Sensor Experience If

10:50 were to stimulate the matter of sensor , you would not produce movement if

10:56 were to stimulate the primary motor That's the motor commands. You will

11:02 seeing movement, but the body. you stimulate the neurons and somatic

11:07 you feel somatic sensations. You would the feeling off body sensations. So

11:15 in any, you know, cortical . And this amount of sensory cortex

11:20 also have a columnar, an alarm structure. It has a six layers

11:28 we know it, and it has column structure. But this column

11:35 interestingly, is dedicated in this case the anatomical parts of your body.

11:43 in this example, we're looking at map of your fingers. So if

11:48 were to look in this primary amount sense of context, that was actually

11:53 to be an architectural er, then the map that represents digit one digit

12:00 Digit three and you will have slowly neurons, these pink collars interspersed with

12:07 adapting neurons. Remember, we talked slowly adapting, uh, nerve

12:16 sensory nerve endings and slowly and rapidly one. So at the level off

12:24 map for fingers in the neocortex, also have slowly and rapidly, adapting

12:31 accordingly. And you have projections for that that form the slow and rapidly

12:37 neuron columns for each finger. But fingers and digit 123 is,

12:49 course, not the only thing that's this so matter topic nap, individual

12:56 . We have a red new topic point by point representation of the outside

13:01 if we're seeing that point by point of preserved installments in the primary visual

13:08 auditory. We have a tono topic . The map of tones and that

13:13 from the cochlea is reflected all the in the primary auditory cortex.

13:19 in somatic sensory system, we have so matter topic or so matter

13:23 Now this map that you've seen here basically body parts that are laid out

13:30 stretched out here over the salsa and gyre I that represent the primary somatic

13:38 cortex. And what you're seeing here this homunculus, which we call,

13:45 is the map, this exaggerated map the human body and it's exaggerated because

13:52 not scaled to human bodies. It's it's a caricature of the human

13:58 and this caricature is representative of the of cortical space that is dedicated to

14:06 parts of the human body. There's features of the Semana topic map.

14:12 map is not continues. It's not . When you think about the relationship

14:18 the anatomy of the body, for , do you think that your index

14:27 is anatomically very close? Thio your well, but it is not.

14:34 actually quite far away, and I say that that that maybe my shoulder

14:40 be closer to my forehead, But on this map, it's just

14:45 , and it's a finger. It's to the forehead. Yeah, maybe

14:50 association of how busy those areas are how those these areas interacting with other

14:56 that are most common for us to and feel sensations from face and hands

15:02 feed ourselves and listen on the phones things like that to form these maps

15:07 that over the evolution of the human . Also, you know, the

15:13 also typically not located by the Eso This is another discontinuity, in

15:20 way, in this caricature off the . But it is quite obvious from

15:26 caricature and from the layout here, body parts are important. How much

15:35 is dedicated to mouth, so more dedicated to lips and mouth than to

15:42 entire trunk off the body. But entire trunk of the body is much

15:48 , then the face of the But that doesn't matter. It's the

15:52 sensations. It's the importance of certain parts. Certain body parts, arm

15:59 important. Your hands are more Your lips, your nose, your

16:05 , your generals, they're Mawr important your everyday living, for your somatic

16:14 , for arousal of Samadi sensations for yourselves and adapting to this environment.

16:25 , so this is the map that would see this mom uncle asses the

16:29 that you would see if you were look in the more primitive animals.

16:36 in this case, let's look at rodents. You have a map.

16:43 a matter of topic map and But what do rodents do most of

16:48 time and how do they survive? have huge olfactory involves. They smell

16:55 and the whisk around This is a sensation. So if you look at

17:01 Retton Oculus, this is not the Oculus, but this is the right

17:05 rats, Oculus or mouse Oculus. , this is the map of the

17:12 or the mouth of the right of mouse or right, or any rodent

17:17 you can see the square here. square represents the the breast,

17:26 and the follicles, The whisker pad the rodents here. Okay, so

17:34 huge amount of medicines or cortex and is dedicated to this whisking the gristle

17:43 here for some matter since. Or . This is how these animals sense

17:49 outside world. Okay, we don't that. We use our hands.

17:54 don't have whiskers. We have facial , but we don't use it for

18:00 the world around. Although, uh, it could be at some

18:05 if you grow it really long. But in any case, on this

18:11 Brisa on this whisker pads, you a certain organization off the follicles you

18:19 12345 hair follicles. Here you have five rows of hair follicles, and

18:29 row has a certain number of hair . And this is remarkable that when

18:35 look and the somatic sensory cortex off rodent animals and you do a

18:44 would you reveal you reveal in the amount of sensory cortex, a structure

18:51 we call a barrel cortex. It's barrel like appearances of these round shape

18:58 areas. And so we call it barrel cortex and This is the cartoon

19:05 of that barrel cortex. And guess ? Just like you have. 52345

19:12 of whiskers. You have exact same 12345 rows of these barrels and each

19:24 of these barrels. One of these and somatic sensory cortex is the

19:31 There's a critical map is a cortical and architectural map that represents a single

19:38 on a whisker pad in this And these maps can change so you

19:50 do several very interesting experiments. You first of all, stimulate and move

19:56 hair follicle, and you can look the anatomy and you could look at

20:00 anatomy if you have increased activity on air follicle. And look at this

20:06 coming from the whisker going into the going through the trigeminal ganglion,

20:15 going into the eventually into some other cortex. So now we're looking at

20:21 map here. Now we can manipulate off these whiskers and see whether we

20:27 change the map in the primaries amount sensory cortex. We can see what

20:33 if we do something different to this whisker in Rosie How does the map

20:44 on DSO? What you have, example, is do you have a

20:52 that is very active in this When you activate, you can also

20:58 brain activity. So this is the of brain activity saying that when you

21:05 right, see to whisker stimulus C whisker stimulus. You evoke this map

21:10 activity at the level of the primaries of sensory cortex. When you stimulate

21:17 to whisker stimulus, you vote a map, you activate different barrel cortex

21:23 you invoke over time. First of , this is the barrel cortex

21:28 a 10 milliseconds for C two This is the dog for E two

21:34 in different regions and then subsequently over , the stimulation of C two or

21:39 two whiskers developed these different looking so sensory maps. That air then obviously

21:45 with other activity in the brain. guess what happens if you inactivate c

21:53 whisker and you can inactivate that C whisker by locking it up mechanical,

21:58 you can actually eliminate it or cut off You actually then, without

22:04 you don't see a sea to map with E to activation. You can

22:10 enacted a C two whisker with chemical so you can block activity from that

22:17 two whisker locally with chemical injection. this case, we're injecting Sea and

22:22 X and the A P V. what C. N Q X and

22:26 P V stand for the glutamate receptor so you can inhibit glutamate receptor at

22:33 level of the whisker. And then can stimulate the whisker because it's

22:38 You will not see that map of . It's not translating into the

22:43 but the E two whisker, which not been affected. You will still

22:47 the map. So now you can the level off experimental manipulation you can

22:52 with this beautiful system, where you manipulate individual whisker individual whisk activity,

22:58 inhibit activity and individual whisker, and can see how it effects activity.

23:06 of activity in the brain war, restructuring of this activity, just like

23:11 saw in the visual cortex over And so this is the experiment in

23:18 you have a monkey and you have 12345 This is the map. It's

23:25 matter of sensory cortex. That represents digits. Okay, guess what

23:32 Uh, this animal who can lose digit three. It lost the middle

23:39 . Maybe was showing the middle finger lost the middle finger. Let's go

23:44 and see what happens in this Now, you can clearly see that

23:49 finger map dedicated to D four digit in digit to have expanded and have

23:56 over the map that was dedicated to three mhm. And this is not

24:04 not necessarily have to deal with the of the finger. Here is a

24:09 off these fingers here and continuous stimulation digit to and digit three in largest

24:16 matter sensor cortex, the map that dedicated to digit to and digit

24:21 So now think about your own. matter of sensory cortex, your

24:25 revolution, how they change and how change the finger movement. What are

24:30 most used fingers in your hand? realize how these maps are not

24:36 They're not standing in the sense of or even side of architectural. So

24:42 end this material here today. I you good luck on the quiz and

24:48 will see you next week because it's Week and we will not have a

24:55 lecture after you take the quiz. you so much and good
