00:01 Morning. Welcome back. This is 14 of neuroscience. We started discussing

00:08 structure of the central nervous system. looked at some of the anatomical terminology

00:16 such as anterior ross, so posterior , the planes of which we look

00:21 the brain or the cuts massage, coronal. We started talking about some

00:29 the major parts of the C N , cerebrum, cereal brain stem.

00:34 we'll get into more details on this , briefly discuss the peripheral nervous

00:41 When we ended with this slide last , we talked about the protective mechanisms

00:48 the brain and the brain is obviously bathing through spinal fluid, but it's

00:55 has three meninges that protect duma, heart, the a membrane underneath the

01:04 the PM MO the general model which the very surface of the brain

01:10 And we also mentioned that dr brain nations that were done in the um

01:18 times, they were potentially done to up um incidents where blood vessels may

01:28 been ruptured or there was an injury the brain, a build up coagulation

01:34 the blood or other fluids. And only way that you could uh try

01:39 alleviate that problem is by opening a into the brain and cleaning up the

01:46 . So the spinal fluid also the brain it's produced in the

01:53 We have the two lateral left and ventricles in the brain. And it's

02:01 throughout the brain tissue of all the to the spinal fluid to the spinal

02:08 . And it's uh going into the that is shown there. Now,

02:16 you have abnormal formation of fluid, this is another situation in which abnormal

02:24 of fluid can lead to a condition may need to drain that fluid.

02:30 way to treat that condition is the way that you can do it is

02:34 drain the fluid. And this is example of a condition of hydrocephalus and

02:41 levels of cerebrospinal fluid are being they're not being properly drained. And

02:51 the child is typically developmental uh as the child is developing, the

03:01 is soft because the brain grows. as the brain gets larger, the

03:08 shapes itself around the brain. So phrenologist thought that the skull, the

03:14 of the skull would represent certain properties the tissue below the brain. They

03:21 wrong. But the fact of the is the skull tissues soft and the

03:28 plates have not even fused together. they're separated and there are even two

03:35 where you can feel soft spots, touching like soft, uh uh tissue

03:43 the skull. And that persists into or two years of life. And

03:50 you have abnormal fluid production, you enlargement of the ventricles as those ventricles

03:59 , they start pushing on the brain as they start pushing on the brain

04:05 , the brain starts pushing on the skull and causing this of abnormal shape

04:12 the head. And the only way get rid of this fluid is to

04:19 a tube into the lateral ventricle through hole in the skull. And that's

04:24 you would do also, if you doing a brain and then have the

04:29 of the fluid into the cavity here to allow for the drainage of the

04:36 . And uh sometimes it can be chronic condition, sometimes it can be

04:42 fixed during the development. This is reason why somebody would want to open

04:47 the skull. Now, central nervous development, we're gonna briefly look at

04:52 development of C N S. And first, what we have is we

04:58 neural tube formation otherwise also known as process of elation. And first of

05:07 , we have, we have uh have the three endoderm, mesoderm and

05:22 . These are sort of the primo tissues that will give rise to different

05:30 in different tissues in the body and and endoderm becomes the lining of internal

05:40 in the viscera. Mesoderm is skeleton and muscles and ectoderm. You have

05:50 of nervous system and skin. So cells and neurons are the most similar

05:58 a certain level because they come from same type of tissue. The ectoderm

06:04 , you have this neural plate and can see these three different types of

06:10 here in different color. The derm the mesoderm, the endoderm and this

06:20 will fold in and will fall form neural groove, the rostral to coal

06:29 . Here I have a neural tube here in the middle surrounded by the

06:36 so become the vertebral column uh and skeletal muscles going in. And this

06:46 the neural crest and this is the neural tube formation. After you have

06:53 neuralation in most of the cases, process which is a really complex process

07:00 cells coming together folding and starting to these three dimensional structures. And the

07:11 for this what I call self assembly once the the the initiation of the

07:17 of the brain has started, the has been initiated, it's pretty

07:22 but there can be disorders that are with neuralation in particular neural tube

07:30 And if they affect the Cadle part neuralation of neural tube formation, they

07:37 result in the condition is called spin extension uh formation of the spinal cord

07:47 typically gets fixed through the surgery. , if you have more severe um

07:56 during neuralation process, and if it , let's say rostral parts of the

08:02 tube, it can end up in the cerebrum, cerebral cortex, the

08:09 anencephaly or lack of formation of Uh and that's something that is

08:19 But those developmental disorders are one in . Maybe that we're talking about.

08:26 a few developmental disorders that are associated , in particular, the C N

08:31 development and formation. Once you have this neural tube formation on neuralation,

08:41 C N S goes through the process differentiation. And at first, these

08:49 referred to as the primary vesicles, pros of the mesencephalon or the midbrain

08:59 the rhombencephalon or the hind brain And as the brain becomes more complex

09:08 continues development and differentiation, this primary differentiate into secondary vesicles. We are

09:16 prosencephalon of the forebrain becomes differentiated into encephalic vasic calls which becomes telencephalon and

09:26 the cortex diencephalon which becomes the thalamus hypothalamus. And also contains these optic

09:36 here from which you'll have an optic and cup, uh optic cup formation

09:43 . This is a cut edge of optic cup which will form the retina

09:50 the eyeball. And that's why retina also part of the central nervous system

09:55 the back of your eyeball. So in ophthalmology and optometry are also

10:04 midbrain and hindbrain. It will undergo differentiation. So, telling stuff along

10:13 during this differentiation process is growing, becoming larger, becoming and forming into

10:20 distinct cerebral hemispheres. You can see midbrain goes through this differentiation and part

10:28 the midbrain becomes the structure that has nuclei in it. One of my

10:34 structures called corporate quadri gemini corporate the of quad quad gemini or four nuclei

10:44 four bumps. If you may and will learn that the superior ones are

10:51 superior colliculus. And the inferior ones called inferior colliculus and they are

10:57 superior colliculus for uh certain visual uh and inferior colliculus for the auditor information

11:06 . And that's at the level of mid brain. And you can see

11:11 further differentiation of hindbrain and different So talon becomes a cerebral cortex,

11:19 cerebral cortex, the two hemispheres are with a major fiber bundle called the

11:26 callosum, which basically connects the left the right hemispheres and the right and

11:32 left hemispheres because there is lateral organization function in each hemisphere. But each

11:38 will communicate that information to another one a lot of things that we do

11:43 have bilateral motor output and uh with or uh other parts of the body

11:52 face. Now diencephalon becomes the thalamus and underneath is the hypothalamus and we

12:00 the lateral ventricles right here. These the ventricles that we had in another

12:06 . Uh And this is the basal encephalon that becomes uh some of the

12:12 in the cerebral cortex as well. is internal capsule that's noted there.

12:18 there's a major fiber bundle that connects subcortical. So everything that's underneath the

12:24 cortex is subcortical, but there's still part of the brain part of the

12:28 N S. So like Dion and theus and hypothalamus and a particular thalamus

12:36 have very prominent connections and fiber bundle is referred to as internal capsule that

12:42 be connecting thalamus to different parts of cortex. And also from the

12:47 the connections and inputs will be coming into the thalamus as well. So

12:54 again, the forebrain which becomes encephalon becomes cortex, thalamus,

13:03 Uh the midbrain becomes tatum. We , we're just looking at the tectum

13:13 . Uh is another name for Uh This is te on the uh

13:21 , this is on the dorsal Tatum on the dorsal side is also

13:27 quadri gemini or disappearing inferior Cali. you have from a hind brain,

13:35 have differentiation into cerebellum and ponds. me of you're all in green and

13:46 from the of you have the spinal . So these are the major parts

13:53 major ways in which this differentiation And then the structures get more and

13:58 complex. As we saw, we a lot of in the cerebral

14:03 a lot of which are grooves, lot of gyri which are ridges,

14:09 is the seat of reasoning and Um We subdivide the cortex into major

14:18 . You already were tested on that occipital parietal frontal temporal lobes. You

14:25 see the ventricular system in three the two lateral ventricles, the third

14:33 , the fourth ventricle, and then spinal canal going into the spinal cord

14:37 supply the tissues with the spinal And this is a comparison between the

14:44 or rat brain and human brain. are certain gross anatomical features that are

14:52 different between the two. There are other features that are very similar between

14:57 two. So there is no salsa gyri virtually on the rad brain.

15:04 if you look at some of the that you're seeing here, the ventricles

15:11 the the goddess spinal cord is similar the two uh animals just for comparison

15:20 and rodents is one of the the most studied animal in the

15:25 So lab rats and and mice are most studied even in neuroscience labs.

15:31 . Um since rats and whatnot um like incredibly good eyesight like that with

15:35 kind of area be been more like or like how long it folds in

15:39 and not be as I guess smooth which which area um like the the

15:43 that like uh is responsible for dry and revision and it like that because

15:47 think there's pretty good and uh not, not necessarily actually uh it's

15:57 in fact, our visual areas are plastic, especially during early development.

16:07 uh now when it comes to a lot of things are already mature

16:11 they're not as malleable, but a of how we perceive visual stimuli,

16:19 we perceive auditory information as determined by structure that is formed during the

16:26 Some of that structure is fairly structurally, but you can still have

16:33 , you can rearrange the structure. as you rearrange the structure, you

16:36 also influence the function. It doesn't you're gonna gonna make another retina or

16:42 cochlea, but maybe you will actually the communication between the cochlear cells and

16:50 auditory nerve. And so in some , structurally, you may have more

16:55 functionally, you may have more but inevitably one is dependent on,

17:01 the other structure means functional. So , and that's in rats, I

17:06 be like the rats, rats, . Also, it just depends,

17:10 know, if, if you are certain systems and rodents are even more

17:15 than in humans. So the whisker and whisking around is by far more

17:23 than rodents and in our uh on faces, which we don't do.

17:28 there's different parts of the brain that developed. And there is interestingly a

17:34 of plasticity and a lot of the that you see what we call neuronal

17:41 rules or a lot of the processes you see like action potentials E P

17:47 , IP, SPS, you can them in rodent brains are going to

17:51 equivalent in human brains, there might different subsets and subtypes of the receptors

17:55 channels. But for the most it's a, it's a fairly good

18:00 for many different studies. So now, if we look in the

18:06 , we'll study the anatomy of the . We learned the cortex is a

18:10 layer structure from the very surface which the closest to the skull of

18:17 it's comprised of six layers. And shows you that first of all new

18:23 , this a six layer structure is new cortex. Remember when we talked

18:27 hippocampus, it said it's predominantly three structure and we refer to it as

18:32 cortex or archaic cortex. Well, is new cortex or Neocortex. It's

18:38 greatest and the latest in the human evolution. This is really what we

18:46 achieved. This is where we are as humans and uh over the development

18:56 this earth. And in general, evolution, there might be some very

19:01 things happening in the brain and they're all the time because humans invent new

19:09 , new tools, new technologies, sensory stimuli, new capabilities to control

19:17 uts and things like that and it our brains. So what if this

19:23 ? One day, the scientist decided actually now a seven layer structure.

19:28 of hippocampus is trying to become And from three layers, it's trying

19:34 become a six layer structure. So things are developing as a part of

19:42 human race, human evolution processes that continuous as, as as the human

19:51 uh is around about killing people. if you live in humans or if

19:59 live in alligators or in rats, would see this cortical structure that has

20:04 layers. There will be some differences there will be some similarities. For

20:09 , you will find the para When we talk about the para cells

20:13 the hippocampus, you will find the cells in the cortex of the rock

20:20 side to cells in the cortex, alligator uh this is again a coronal

20:30 or cross uh cut through the brain a rat. So you should be

20:37 to kind of identify. You also that alligators is a uh olfactory balls

20:43 huge compared to rodents. So the use a lot uh of their food

20:50 , using sense of smell, but also whisk around and alligators, they

20:55 smell really and if they can see underwater or above water. So this

21:02 a this stain through coronal section. is the hippocampus. So it's subcortical

21:08 it's superior or lateral to diencephalon, and kind of thalamus excellent. And

21:20 we look in the human cortex, also see six layers in the

21:26 Uh six layers. What is what six layers do? Well, it's

21:32 you have a house that has two or three stories like in the

21:37 So it's like three layers and you do so many things with it

21:41 You can put so many bathrooms, many bedrooms in three houses, so

21:46 steps between the three floors that you walk. But now what if you

21:52 a house that has six floors in ? Now you're talking about having a

21:59 more like if you're an architectural Oh, maybe I can fuse two

22:05 , floor two and three together make big floor. Maybe I can change

22:11 about. Maybe I can have six entrances to the sixth floor from the

22:16 floor. So you you now increase complexity. It's more complex building to

22:22 it's more complex building to build as designer, interior designer or architectural designer

22:28 probably very excited because you have more to work with. And the brain

22:34 these six layers to increase the complexity our processing capabilities in the Neocortex.

22:41 these six layers are organized in a way in the order of inputs that

22:49 coming into the Neocortex and all of sensor information, touch, hearing,

23:00 vision, eventually it travels to different of the Neocortex. So the temporal

23:10 is concerned with Audi information, occipital , with visual information, frontal

23:20 motor cortex in the bronchus concerned with , this portion of the parietal cortex

23:26 concerned with some matter sensor information. eventually all of the information So that

23:33 that all of that information from from cochlea, from your hands,

23:39 your nose eventually finds its way into different parts of the cortex. And

23:47 the cortex, it organizes itself in form of inputs and certain inputs will

23:53 into layer four other inputs will come layer 23. There's a whole circuitry

23:58 we study in the Neocortex here. structure depends on function we already talked

24:04 that. Um Because there's a question I had earlier and the cortex in

24:11 to layers which we refer to as structure, it is also in addition

24:18 layers, it is also organized into . So cortex will have laminar and

24:28 structure. So you can say that is a column that runs through all

24:34 these six layers and there are certain of these columns as you'll understand from

24:38 small micro columns of 50 to 200 to large what we call hyper columns

24:48 are many size time size of the columns. So we'll talk about it

24:57 , what are these columns or these columns? These are collections of neurons

25:06 will be processing or will be responsible certain tasks and may have similar response

25:15 . So they may respond to visual and they may respond to a certain

25:21 of visual information like color. There be other cortical formations and column formations

25:29 process other types of information. It's a local processing network. So eventually

25:38 you see is not a stand Oh, I just saw it and

25:43 you closed your eyes, uh, mean, if you closed your

25:46 if you closed your nose, if didn't have any other senses and you

25:50 just seeing, looking, you then you still are going to engage

25:56 parts of the brain besides the occipital because you, you're probably gonna be

26:01 about what you saw and you may memories and emotions associated with what you're

26:08 . But typically you're looking, you're , you're writing, typing,

26:17 Chewing, talking, moving around all the same time. And that means

26:27 many different inputs are coming in and get locally processed, visual inputs,

26:33 locally processed in these columns in the lobe, auditory inputs get processed in

26:39 auditory cortex here. But eventually most us do our motor output or our

26:49 uh critical of the critical thinking by all of this information together. So

26:59 in the room, seeing somebody and them and saying, oh, you

27:03 good or you just came from gym something like that, right? So

27:08 , and, and our reactions will based not just because we looked at

27:13 . Typically we engage more in one , especially when we're learning, especially

27:17 we're doing some very engaging tasks. So you have parallel processing, these

27:25 columns may be located next to each and may be responsible for simular the

27:31 function. So if there's an injury one micro column, it's not going

27:35 affect the function of a nearby micro . And that function is very similar

27:40 the one that the injured micro column performing. So we have this lame

27:45 structure, we can reveal it by the stains that we already know.

27:51 Golgi stain only a fraction of neurons Goldie stain and gold G stain re

27:56 re reveals the precise morphology of the that basically it stains. Niel stain

28:06 all of the neurons and it's really for the cytoarchitecture descriptions of the brain

28:14 . Finally, there's a third stain you haven't seen. There's a wierd

28:18 and the wired stain is specific to . And this wert stain reveals that

28:24 is this very clear connectivity, vertical within what we describe micro columns of

28:33 in the cortex. You'll have the layers and you have this laminar and

28:39 or anatomy in the neocortex and all . You can take a little plug

28:44 any different area of neocortex. And see this very same six layer

28:52 the laminar and the column of But you can see that maybe the

28:57 of the neocortex will vary but will thicker in certain areas and thinner in

29:03 areas. That's just an anatomical difference and variations we have in the cerebral

29:12 . Recall that uh Doctor Cabin and was the one that used Niel stain

29:19 described all of these, what we Broman areas based on the side or

29:27 . Uh And so we had some on the exam in this first

29:31 like identifying area 17 or area And you didn't have to know the

29:37 of these areas, you have to what lobes that were located on

29:42 And then they ask you some more these kind of questions. Now,

29:47 evolution, lower species, higher order . If we look, for

29:56 in rodents and we look at cats we're looking at humans. And in

30:06 case, the color here represents an of the brain that is dedicated to

30:14 visual information processing. The best way I can describe what is primary area

30:21 the area that processes the rudimentary visual , the basic visual information.

30:32 So this is the the primary You can also say what I

30:38 This is an area in the brain is primary for auditory, basic auditor

30:46 , what I hear, sensory, , sensory motor, what I feel

30:55 uh what, what what I touch . And what does this mean that

31:03 the rat, these areas are very large, relatively to the whole

31:09 of the brand is the cat, brain is larger and relatively to the

31:17 of the brain. These primary areas much smaller. And when we talk

31:24 humans they're the smallest compared relatively to whole size of your brain. So

31:33 tells you that animals like rats and and lower order species, dedicate a

31:42 of their primary information processing, dedicate lot of their brain areas to this

31:49 areas that are basic vision, basic and sensory motor, what I

31:57 what I hear, what I feel what I touch. Ok. But

32:04 I said, it's not enough that just see something. Typically, if

32:09 are looking at something you're listening to like me, you're listening to

32:13 you're looking at me, you're taking too, looking at the computer,

32:18 the mouse. So uh that means multiple census are engaged. And from

32:29 primary areas, there are areas that called secondary areas. There are motor

32:37 , motor areas are the ones that gonna be responsible for giving the motor

32:42 . But a lot of that information primary information from the visual area.

32:49 auditory area goes into association areas. of all, each one of the

32:55 areas for vision will have its own area. The best way is what

33:01 see. How does that compare to I've learned when I'm seeing is the

33:07 area. But you need more information what I've learned what I'm seeing.

33:12 seeing a person that looks like a Santa Claus. I've learned that.

33:20 . So it takes more information. it's not enough what I see what

33:24 see is a man with white beard a red cloak. OK? But

33:32 Santa Claus because I associated this. compared it, I have association

33:38 Now further I hear the Santa Claus , is singing some songs or

33:44 And then, you know, I a uh a child and now I

33:49 to, you know, like bring child to the Santa Claus to say

33:53 . All of this goes through association , association areas is where we compare

34:01 of all individual vision to what I is, right. Right,

34:09 But who that is is Santa You associate it visual with some other

34:16 that you've learned in the past and you associate hearing vision, touch and

34:23 produce motor output based on associating multiple together. And so a lot of

34:31 I call the magic in the brain in the association area. It's your

34:38 to intake information and come up with symphony and come up with a painting

34:49 your own, that's original. The is gonna come from motor areas.

34:55 you're gonna learn about art and painting gonna involve motor skills and looking and

35:02 and thinking about it. So a of the brain space in humans is

35:08 to the association areas and that's where small areas of the brain are dedicated

35:14 the primary information processes. So we're as much concerned about what we

35:19 but what does it mean to what looking at? This is where most

35:23 our brain space is dedicated to. do we associate it with what we

35:29 in the past? We have to up some memories, you know,

35:33 , to reinforce it from a lot structures. And so there's going to

35:36 a lot of communication between different parts the brain, different parts of the

35:41 and the Corle in order for us have what we call a complete understanding

35:47 the outside world or the stimuli that happening. Yeah, you have the

35:52 . Um So what I don't what animals do, what like

35:59 like your, like your Oh I mean, sure. But you

36:04 , they will be using different So your dog will probably know it's

36:09 . Uh finally when he or she , you, you know, it's

36:13 gonna be enough to look sometimes uh can sometimes recognize but they of course

36:21 association areas. But this is the why uh they are pretty rudimentary at

36:35 or doing associative kind of uh They are more dedicated to. What

36:42 you like? See where's the You know, it smells good,

36:45 know, good person owner, you , but we would be thinking more

36:52 our dogs and they about us, think in many different ways because we

36:56 so much more space dedicated to like dogs didn't read a history book about

37:01 dog or about what, what's, , what uh what species the dog

37:08 , doesn't know, it's a golden or a chihuahua doesn't know what it

37:13 we do. So it's just the . It's not, this is

37:16 not a very good example, dogs of treat, of course.

37:19 you know, they have a different , obviously, they're speaking to each

37:21 , they bark at each other. the fact of the matter is that

37:25 be more concerned with these primal primary almost like primal. What do I

37:31 ? Good food eat? So, OK, so for people with photographic

37:40 , like myself, I associate it on a slide like during an

37:44 like I'm like, OK, this where I learned about this concept.

37:48 and that's what this equation needs are areas and people who are those kind

37:54 learners like active or like, how that work? Do they relate to

37:58 another or? No? Not It, it, it, it

38:01 if you, if you talk to writers, they will say that,

38:06 know, for them, writing is important. Uh It's a different uh

38:12 don't really need to look at the . It's more about putting it on

38:16 motor function or uh like a, strong belief actually that you're supposed to

38:23 a diary every day for about 30 by hand instead of typing because you

38:29 differently the flow uh of your thoughts different and the way you control your

38:35 is different too because there's no control or race, you have to cross

38:41 or wide out. And so then doesn't look good, you know.

38:46 it, it, the connectivity between of us is a little bit

38:50 Some of us uh are stronger with , others are stronger with repeating something

38:57 with motor. Uh We all have advantages and disadvantages. Now, in

39:06 , the best way to learn is what we call associated learning and associative

39:14 is if you can do as many related to that concept to that

39:20 the better you're gonna learn it the you're gonna remember it. So if

39:23 can engage motor skills, if you see, listen. Uh Sorry,

39:30 can't let you smell it, you , but we'll talk about faction and

39:35 watch some TED talk. There's a of smells in that TED talk,

39:40 smell it but you know, touching things like that. So uh

39:47 So if uh ancient areas are so , very prominent, they,

39:55 they take up a lot of brain . Yeah. Ah So that's a

40:09 good question and we're still doing we're still doing it. We're

40:14 there's still areas of the brain, a lot of fibers and crossovers and

40:19 . We're understanding, we're still discovering it functions. It's not that clear

40:26 . Nobody can take an F MRI count of your brain and say oh

40:31 or over here, they're about, know, where it should be at

40:35 age. And you know, the , there's no such tools yet.

40:41 that, that, that we that we can kind of uh look

40:46 at association areas and we don't completely it. But when we talk about

40:53 system, we'll go from retina to to primary visual cortex. And you'll

41:02 how in the primary visual cortex you have a sketch of the outside

41:09 It's not a very advanced perception of visual world, but it's a nice

41:16 of this visual world. And we at the primary cortex because we have

41:21 do a whole course on vision and into the secondary tertiary co ordinary.

41:28 are 12, 13, 15, areas that may be associated with processing

41:38 , Those areas in the back of occipital lobe predominant, maybe 56.

41:44 then they break out and then they to different areas that still process a

41:50 bit of visual information or the input visual cortex goes there and informs those

41:55 areas. It's a very good We don't understand all of the connectivity

42:02 association areas. And that exactly is reason why it took us so long

42:08 understand the localization of the brain And once we understood, OK,

42:14 an occipital lobe is vision. So that enough? No, because you

42:20 area 17, 18, primary secondary equipment in. So we learned about

42:27 100 years ago, except in a side or architecture missile stained. And

42:31 we're still learning about other concepts. , good questions. All right.

42:40 now we're in, in, in spinal cord here that's subdivided in the

42:51 lumber, thoractic and cervical. You the brain stem that's subdivided into Mela

42:58 palms. So you, you have here. Uh Cerebellum is attached to

43:04 ponds, midbrain, the corpus quadri that we discussed, tectum and mentum

43:12 . Another important structure, basal ganglia cerebral hemispheres. So let's review and

43:20 continue reviewing them probably into the next also. But as you know,

43:26 cord receives and processes sensor information from , joints, muscles of limb and

43:33 . So everything below your head down processed with the with the with the

43:40 cord. Ok. Now, brain and you control movement of limbs and

43:47 with the spinal cord. So what the movement of your tongue? I'm

43:54 when you're winking, it's not spinal , it's brains stone. You have

44:01 nerves and the brains stone that control on the head and face. Brain

44:06 has sensor information from the muscles of head, motor control of the head

44:12 , control of the ocular movement, muscles, regulating levels of arousal and

44:20 . It has cranial nerve nuclei, and motor that are responsible for the

44:27 senses, hearing balance and taste. . As nuclei that have these capabilities

44:37 the brains. Stone Malaga is responsible vital anomic functions, breathing heart

44:44 digestion. So if you impact it can impact breathing and heart

44:54 which could be deadly. So, important part of the brain, although

44:59 right above the spinal cord, but can be crucial poms, motor information

45:06 cerebella hemispheres to cerebral, from cerebral to cerebella hemispheres, cerebellum is force

45:16 range of movement. So, cerebellum responsible for learning motor skills and cerebellum

45:26 responsible for what we call procedural Remember when we talked about the

45:32 we said that hippocampus, one of functions is semantic memory, a storytelling

45:41 names, facts places stories, procedural is how to ride a bicycle and

45:52 to swim. Procedural memories are very hard ingrained and a lot of

45:59 procedural memories are mediated by cerebellum. that's the reason why you may forget

46:08 name five years from now that you and you were maybe even friends with

46:13 person, but you will just well, can slip your mind.

46:17 I can guarantee you if you get on the bicycle, you're not gonna

46:21 off the bicycle. Five years you may be wobbly. Of

46:25 you'll fall off. If your balance off, you know, if you

46:28 medical condition or something, but if nothing has changed, you'll remember

46:33 how to ride that bicycle. Um with things like, say like

46:38 technique be an example of that. where you get someone like, you

46:41 , they get good at something and like five years later, go back

46:44 do it. They're not gonna just kind of have like,

46:47 horrible, like, it'll be somewhat . Is that kind of uh

46:53 so the commands you'll remember very easily , if you come back five years

46:58 on the same court and you're five older than your muscles and your uh

47:05 capability may not be there. But the fact that you know the

47:10 how you throw a basketball, you , you still know the technique,

47:14 maybe you're, the wrist is hurting . Now you have arthritis and,

47:17 know, I can't do it like . I just do it like

47:20 So, but so you're limited by . But in general, the procedural

47:25 are very, very strongly ingrained. we learn certain procedures, you

47:29 peel potatoes or something like that, not like you come back five years

47:33 . It's like how do I peel again? You know, it's,

47:37 , you just do it but you back to, to five years later

47:42 the same town you were there. was the name of that store used

47:46 go every month? You know, you to peel potatoes every month

47:51 but you don't forget that. So frequency doesn't even matter here.

47:55 How would you describe someone or someone gymnastic and they were very flexible for

48:00 a decade, but then they stopped the sport. And so once

48:07 you know, the, the what were flexible and they stopped doing the

48:10 and the flexibility that does not necessarily on the brain function. It depends

48:16 the body function, the joints, muscles, um calcification, vasculature,

48:25 supply to the muscles, all of things that can change during the the

48:31 aging, during getting older, you , just older, not old but

48:37 up, you know. So uh on the other hand, if you

48:42 about it, there are people that really good at equations And there are

48:49 that are really good at motor skills they can, you know, take

48:56 basketball and fly in the air, and twist it around their body three

49:02 and dung behind their back with the hand. And a lot of us

49:07 do that. It's, it's a , it's, it's also plasticity.

49:14 the ability to stimulate certain networks in brain in the cerebellum, connect them

49:22 to the spinal cord. And if body and physique is all in order

49:26 hopefully execute that task with a So there's there's there is physical memory

49:32 motor memory and some of us are good at certain motor skills and motor

49:38 . And that also requires space in brain because space in the brain is

49:44 and how we learn is finite. time on this earth is finite.

49:50 very rare that you'll have the, know, world champion and swimming and

49:54 champion and running and bobsled all in person. I'm not saying it's not

50:00 . It's very rare. It's just have finite abilities. Also, very

50:03 to find a person who is an and a, you know, a

50:08 and an opera singer. At the time, it's like very rare even

50:12 different intellectual skills because the finite amount space we have anyway. So let's

50:19 continue on. P is how the is connected. Midbrain is sensor and

50:26 functions including eye movement, coordination of and auditory reflexes. So that's the

50:31 quadri of the superior in interior We'll come back to those also information

50:38 all over central nervous system and root cortex. So most of the inputs

50:44 I was telling you the auditory imps visual somatic sensory, they reach

50:50 but typically they all go through diencephalon the thalamus, hypothalamus is involved in

51:00 and voluntary bodily functions. It's also of neuro endocrine system which is involved

51:07 gland regulation and hormonal release. And of the visceral functions and cerebral hemispheres

51:13 cerebral cortex, which is different parts cerebral cortex, different functions and three

51:20 . And we will highlight and talk it and we talked about it

51:23 We learn about it more from the of basal ganglia, which is involved

51:28 motor command initiation and processing of some the motor information communications between motor cortex

51:36 basal ganglia, hippocampus, which we discussed semantic memory emotions, a part

51:44 the limbic system and amygdala, which uh kind of like a fear center

51:51 and and uh facial recognition center in in the brain. So these are

51:58 of the important nuclei. Now, general, even simple tasks. Once

52:03 learn simple tasks, like I procedural tasks, you think I'm just

52:08 hit this tennis ball and it involves lot of different parts of the

52:14 So the ball is coming at Your primary visual cortex is watching the

52:20 . The premotor cortex is trying to the commands together with uh basal

52:28 What command is gonna be my response this ball that I'm looking at flying

52:33 me, you'll have areas that are homeostasis in the motion like Amygdala in

52:40 two, hypothalamus motivation to hit a shot. Once the ball crossed over

52:45 net, you have motor pattern initiation recall from bosal gang basal ganglia,

52:51 command from the brain to the spinal to the muscles of the arms and

52:58 to move them around. Another thing cerebellum is responsible for is what is

53:05 proprioception. Where is my body, are my joints, muscles hand is

53:11 with respect to myself, with respect the tennis court and with respect to

53:18 loss of nature gravity. So, , once we initiate these motor commands

53:26 the motor cortex and basal ganglia, you send those motor commands, remember

53:31 contralateral, if still laterally, they be adjusted by cerebellum. So there's

53:38 lot of fine tuning and adjustment in cerebellum. But once the behavior is

53:46 , there can be many adjustments that dumped. I said specifically especially in

53:52 because in racket ball, I don't if any of you have played it

53:57 if you watched people play racquetball, have the ball that's rubber ball that

54:03 a lot of friction and you try bounce it off different walls, the

54:08 wall, the side walls and the wall. And it's very unpredictable depending

54:13 the spin of how that ball is to bounce off the wall. And

54:18 you may be prepared to hit the from the front and the ball bounces

54:22 you in a strange direction. You to turn around, adjust the movement

54:26 hit it with a back hand. that's gonna be the cerebellum, the

54:30 tuning of the movement. And then have a lot of the brace of

54:36 that are responsible for arousal, hydrate . That is all a part of

54:42 normally controlling. You're in this hitting up the tennis ball. So

54:48 different parts of the brain are involved these behaviors. So for example,

54:54 cortex here, it says area 17 19. So it shows you three

54:59 . So not a sensory cortex 312, these are all different areas

55:05 we talked about that the different visual cortices, motor cortices are subdivided

55:12 These are all great labeling questions from exam um for different parts of the

55:18 and they appear in different uh kind presentations. So let's talk a little

55:24 about thalamus diencephalon. We talked about from all over central nervous system and

55:31 are on its way to the Goes into the thalamus thalamus for a

55:37 time was thought to be kind of like a relay station. So information

55:41 from the retina and this goes into nucleus called lateral genu nucleus. And

55:47 L G M of this laid it goes into the visual cortex.

55:52 people say, oh OK, thalamus kind of a passive retina to thalamus

55:58 to exhibit lobe is really far. we're gonna relay that information through the

56:03 . It's more of a passive properties the visual cortex that comes in into

56:09 information. Auditory information comes from the eventually goes into the menu nucleus.

56:16 thalamus is comprised of many different Each one of the nucleus is with

56:21 specific function. L G M is to vision M G M menu is

56:29 to hearing this metro posterolateral V P is dedicated to sensor motors amount of

56:38 information coming in here. OK. all of this information gets processed.

56:44 from L G N, it goes visual cortex, from M G

56:47 it goes to auditory cortex. From P L goes into some matter of

56:52 cortex. And we now know that is not a passive relay station.

56:59 is very much involved in gating of sensor information, auditory, visual,

57:04 sensor information and modulation of that information how cortex and how much cortex is

57:12 to see what is coming into the or here what is coming into the

57:18 surrounding these nuclear and thins. We this sheet of nuclei, nuclei.

57:26 , remember definition of collections of cells are responsible for the same or similar

57:31 . So that's why you have a , the vision of the nucleus for

57:34 the nucleus is the amount of information others. Now, here you have

57:40 very specific nucleus that is not for specific sense, but rather it's an

57:48 sheet. It's all inhibitory cells and particular nucleus that surrounds like a cover

57:55 of like a blanket. Then higher , it's pretty interesting from the circuit

58:00 the signal and perspective of the So that's the the thalamic reticular nucleus

58:06 reticular nucleus, which is sort of a mesh of inhibitory neurons that surrounds

58:12 thalamus hypothalamus, which is located underneath . Hypothalamus is involved in autonomic involuntary

58:23 functions, control and endocrine system and function. So, it's in part

58:31 in body temperature regulation in appetite, intake regulation, sexual activity, lactation

58:41 slow growth because it's it's tied with functioning such as hormonal functions for different

58:49 or the actual slow growth as you and develop. Uh So the neuro

58:57 system is a very complex system and , we probably need to have at

59:02 one or two courses on the neuro system to start understanding the complexity of

59:07 and how it functions and how hypothalamus influence hormone uh influenced hormone release.

59:15 , hypothalamus in a way has uh like a paracrine influence on the body

59:22 it influences the systemic hormonal release. has very loose blood brain barrier and

59:29 of that loose blood brain barrier, a great sensor for temperature. It's

59:34 great sensor for toxic things in the too because of this loose blood brain

59:40 . And finally, in diencephalon, also have a super cosmetic nucleus which

59:47 not shown here, but it would located right underneath the in here for

59:51 optic nerves and it's responsible for circadian or for your diurnal day and night

60:03 . Uh and it has a small input that it receives, but it's

60:09 part of the encephalon and it's basically biological master clock for your, for

60:16 wake and sleep state or rest Some other good structures here, I

60:24 ask you on the exam to identify gyrus corpus callosum hippocampus over here,

60:34 . Those are all great Questions and may have one or two labeling questions

60:40 this quiz on Friday also. So the way, the quizzes are open

60:45 you can register for them on It will be online, it's just

60:48 minutes and it will not be makeups this quiz. So you have to

60:53 it on Friday. Yes. And was thinking how you know how um

61:07 we can have a background conversation that choose now. But if like the

61:11 comes up at the and how that name or some other speak for

61:22 you to go ahead and that conversation that very good question. So can

61:32 uh ignore uh the sensor stimuli and uh and and focus on a

61:42 that you want to focus on? can you block out the music and

61:47 noise and, and study or read or can you listen to the person

61:53 the cocktail party and ignore all the and the music and people dancing around

61:59 ? So yes, you can. it does partly happen by the gating

62:04 of the thalamus. But inevitably the communicates all of that information to the

62:10 . So cortex can overpower the but thalamus can gate that information cortex

62:16 help it gates too. So typical thalamic cortical interactions, but it doesn't

62:23 back to retina in the visual In some ways, it goes back

62:29 cochlea. You learn about the auditory . It's usually controlled at the level

62:34 both the thalamus and the cortex. yeah, that's a good way to

62:37 about it. How do you modulate gate the sensor information? How do

62:41 give priority to the visual thalamus over auditory? Thus, for example,

62:48 it's done both at the level of thalamus and at the level of thalamus

62:52 , the cortex and cortex communicating about thalamus and this particular nucleus which can

63:00 it's all inhibitory cells that can inhibit nuclei. And the thalamus cerebellum,

63:06 have the right and the left hemisphere the middle of the cerebellum, we

63:10 the Burmese. If we remove the , this is the cut, but

63:14 looking at the dorsal side here. . So we cut cerebellum and expose

63:20 p here. And we expose the quadri as a superior coli on both

63:27 and the inferior curricula part of the brain here. And this is the

63:32 sitting on top here. OK. we come to the cranial nerves.

63:41 we have 12 cranial nerves and those are the nerves that are responsible

63:47 uh sensory motor information from the head face. And we have 12 of

63:56 . So we have the first cranial is oh factory and it's not

64:06 It's not shown on here because there's olfactory ball but the first nerve is

64:11 . The second nerve is optic this is optic nerve. So you

64:15 two optic nerves with a crossover. called optic chiasma crossover. After the

64:22 , this fiber bundle becomes optic Ok. But this is cranial

64:28 two optic nerve on the left and right from either eye, oculomotor

64:35 three cochlea, four trigeminal five. can see that these nerves originate or

64:44 different parts of the brain stem, nerve, six, facial and intermediate

64:51 . Vestibulocochlear nerve is eight, glossier nine vagus nerve, which you already

65:00 is 10 cranial nerve. 10. you have the accessory nerves here lower

65:07 Malaga. Now your accessory nerve and nerve is in medulla too, accessory

65:13 11 and hypoglossal nerve 12. And you have 12 cranial nerves. And

65:20 you are already looking and thinking about does it mean? Optic nerve is

65:26 . What do you think optic nerve it processes information from the eye?

65:33 information? What about ocular motor movement the eye muscles? Yeah.

65:41 If I said vestibular cochlea, ear and so cochlea is ear,

65:50 stimulus or vestibular apparatus. OK. vestibular cochlear nerve, then if I

65:58 uh trigeminal nerves, that doesn't say but it says something about what it

66:05 . Trigeminal three fiber bundles. So comprised of three segments. Trigeminal nerve

66:15 has the largest stock here, which can recognize easily. So if it

66:20 indicate the function. OK? Loss loss, loss of the tongue phal

66:29 it has to do something with the and the pharynx function here.

66:34 If it doesn't give away in the , what it does, it kind

66:38 gives away what it is. A branch nerve, trigeminal nerve.

66:44 Hang on to your question because I get through this next slide and,

66:47 maybe it will answer your question. now let's go into this diagram that

66:54 made for you guys and it's on uh plus lecture materials. So,

67:03 of all, if you go and to any graduate level, if you're

67:08 some field where you're working with the , with the central nervous system,

67:14 will have to know the cranial I'm gonna ask you to know several

67:20 them for this exam Because we already about some of them. So you

67:25 know them because some of them are easy and others are most important for

67:31 for this course. And you'll thank about for it later. But so

67:36 of all, uh it, it a dark night of 1994 and we

67:42 sitting and studying for the uh anatomy neuroscience. And when I took this

67:50 , it was really awesome. It subdivided into the head and neck and

67:55 the body. So we took the and neck anatomy course. We had

67:59 study the cranial nerves and we had human cadaver. Our exam was to

68:06 the cranial nerves on the actual human body. So it would be like

68:12 little needle with a blue pen or or little uh tie uh like

68:21 like a line tied around some, nerve or something. You'd have to

68:24 what nerve it is or what ran nerve it is. And we were

68:28 having a hard time remembering the order these nerves. Which one is

68:32 which one is 47 and so So, we came up with a

68:37 and our mnemonic was bugs bunny oh, oh, oh, to

68:43 and feel very green vegetables. so, oh, oh.

68:50 First nervous olfactory optic oculomotor, by way, you can come up with

68:54 own pneumonic. This, this silly has stuck with me since, since

68:59 early nineties and it hasn't left my . So, maybe it will do

69:04 same for you. Uh, oh. Oh. Oh, olfactory

69:10 ocular motor. I want you to all three of these. Why?

69:15 is number one, it's smell and gonna study smell optic. Number

69:22 it's very important. We're gonna study visual system. We study the optic

69:27 . Ocular motor is number three. I want you to know it because

69:31 tells you what it does for two . It moves the eye and it's

69:35 motor nerve. I also want you know Triamino five, which is the

69:42 , most prominent three branch nerve. I want you to know the

69:48 which is eight and the vagus which is 10. I want you

69:53 know the vestibular cochlea because we're gonna the auditory system. And I want

69:58 to know the vagus nerve because that's we stimulated when he discovered acetylcholine and

70:05 frog hearts, cranial nerve, 10 nerve, which runs most extensively into

70:10 viser into the body spatially and innervates heart to a large extent. So

70:17 is how we remembered where the first O olfactory o optic 00 motor t

70:24 , te trigeminal a abducens f facial vestibulocochlear g ground glacial V Vegas accessory

70:33 pa. So you can have your way, you know, you can

70:38 the nerves like all up, try up with something else, you

70:46 And then some of these green hill are sensory s some of them are

70:52 and and some of them are capable having both functions. They are sensory

70:58 motor. What does that mean? and motor with a sensory sensory

71:04 So touching sensory component processes, the of the self face, motor component

71:13 the phase. OK, contracts the and moves the muscles. So then

71:18 had another pneumonic. It said money says so, so much

71:23 But my brother says bugs bunny makes greedy, little rabbit. So,

71:33 so much money. In this s sensory. So first nerve is

71:39 , second, nervous sensory, third motor, fourth is motor trigeminal is

71:46 , it has sensory motor components, , both sensory, both both motor

71:55 . OK. So this is a again that, that I used to

72:00 . And I'm gonna ask you only what are they? 612358 and

72:09 you should know what these nerves You should be able to identify optic

72:16 , chiasma track very easily. This love will remember it. You should

72:22 able to identify the tri nerve because the largest, it's just,

72:27 it's staring at you and the largest located on the policy. So uh

72:38 for these six nerves, you should which one is sensor in motor.

72:42 that's easy because sensory sensory factory optic sensors, ocular motor motor, that's

72:51 I said. I want you to that because it says the function of

72:54 nerve, not only what it but it is a motor, it's

72:57 a sensor action both and then eight sensory and then 10 is both again

73:05 the uh Vegas news. All So we'll end here today and you

73:11 be responsible for all of the material covered up up until now for your

73:17 on Friday. Yes. Sorry. longer than like, you know,

73:24 a very uh it's a, it's, it's a, it's a

73:32 question. It, it, it to what extent uh, yeah,

73:37 would be because it's, uh, has a lot of sensory nerve endings

73:41 the face. Yeah. Yes. .
