00:03 This is lecture 15 of neuroscience and continue talking about major parts of the

00:12 and functions of the different parts of brain. So we over viewed in

00:19 brief the major divisions of the spinal . The brain stem which is subdivided

00:25 the to the closest to the spinal , the ponds, the midbrain on

00:32 back of the brain stem. You cerebellum, you have cerebral hemispheres within

00:39 sub cortical. You have diane cephalon is thalamus and hypothalamus. And you

00:46 this specialized nuclei basal ganglia, hippocampus the amygdala that we discussed. So

00:54 of these are great labeling questions for different parts, major parts of the

01:00 . N. S and their And we ended last lecture talking about

01:08 cephalon and in particular the thalamus a bit about hypothalamus and super charismatic

01:15 And what we learned about thalamus is of the sensor information. Sound,

01:23 , touch is going to come in the Solomon's before it goes into the

01:30 cortex from the entry of that signal the periphery whether it's a coke leah

01:37 the retina to the time it gets the thalamus. There's some processing that

01:43 place in the periphery in the cochlear or in the retina there's further modulation

01:49 that incoming external sensory stimulus such as information from the retina at the level

01:56 the thalamus and thalamus will contain nuclei specifically handle different functions. So retina

02:04 project the lateral nucleus nucleus of the clia will project into the media the

02:13 of the thalamus by project. I they will send their external projections and

02:17 will form synopsis from the retina in thalamic regions and information coming from uh

02:25 parts like the dorsal column, nuclei the spinal cord will have their own

02:31 . Central, posterior lateral nuclear. it's really a sophisticated collection of nuclei

02:36 are dedicated to specific functions to communicate information to the quartet and not just

02:43 relay that information would rather than a and modulate, adjust the sensory input

02:50 is coming in that goes into the and cortex has the ability to adjust

02:56 us by responding back, sending the from the cortex back into the colonists

03:03 . It's more of the autonomic and bodily function control. Uh It's involved

03:09 the neuro endocrine control and visceral And superga asthmatic nucleus is the master

03:16 clock regulator or the circadian rhythm Which is your day and night

03:24 Or wake and sleep rhythms as other of of the brain and the structures

03:32 we're talking about. Uh And these are all very good labeling questions.

03:37 example, this is the corpus callosum you saw earlier. This would be

03:42 major fiber bundle that inter connects the hemispheres. Again when I say fiber

03:48 . Axonal fiber bundles and outputs and that are gonna be going both

03:55 Okay now here you see you have sky as um off the chi as

04:01 super charismatic nucleus would be located very to the optic eye. ASM you

04:07 see how small the olfactory ball does the human brain compared to the rest

04:12 the size of the brain. Uh can see another structure that we discussed

04:18 which is uh your emotional and fear center uh and hippocampus which is involved

04:28 semantic memory as we discuss previously. hippocampus is also involved in spatial memory

04:37 is remembering spaces and remembering directions in way how to navigate navigational spatial memory

04:45 a way. So not just names and places but also spaces.

04:50 you may cerebellum which is attached on back of the brain. If you

04:59 to remove the cerebellum it's attached onto cerebellum, pete uncle. So if

05:06 were to cut the cerebellum from the you would expose the cerebellum,

05:11 uncles sarah Palin has left cerebellum the right celebrates cerebellum hemisphere in the

05:20 . There is a verma's cerebellum. in our discussions it's responsible for control

05:31 appropriate reception. It's responsible for procedural and it's responsible for adjustment and fine

05:41 of the motor outputs and mod outfits the cortex and route into the

05:48 So tuning some of these motor patterns get initiated by basil ganglia as we

05:56 and get communicated to the primary motor to inform downstream the spinal cord motor

06:04 to contract the muscles to produce the that we want to produce. Now

06:10 on the obviously on the back because is on the back. So now

06:15 looking from, from the dorsal you have the structure that we refer

06:23 last lecture that is called corporate quadra and is comprised of the left and

06:30 , superior curricula sauce and left and , inferior curricula sauce. So superior

06:40 is responsible for processing reflexive eye movement psychotic eye movement. Kind of a

06:47 like eye movement. And inferior caligula is involved in processing the auditory

06:56 And we will look at the exact for the visual pathways and for the

07:02 pathways very soon in this course. you will see these structures come up

07:08 as we discuss the systems and you see the pioneer body sitting here superior

07:18 the superior curricula sauce and superior So superior to the inferior curricula

07:24 And inferior curricula is inferior to the curricula, suspects underneath, on top

07:30 underneath if you may. And once this is the fourth ventricle going into

07:38 spinal canal and the spinal cord where have the supply of the super spinal

07:44 . Yeah, uh is responsible for auditory information. It's well for the

08:01 , it's more of the psychotic eye . That's reflexive for the auditory you

08:07 have a flow through the real auditor processing the major flow through a major

08:15 information processing into your curriculum but not the visual, the visual and the

08:20 will go into the, into the and that's why I said don't worry

08:24 this now because there is a little of differences of these pathways but for

08:29 you should know that the superior curriculum involved in visual uh information processing,

08:37 curricula in the auditory. Said earlier the right. What about the,

08:53 uh we've come up to the we to the pineal gland in the

09:00 Do you remember when we talked about ? Yeah. Renee Renee the card

09:08 he thought it was the touch of mind and body intersection through the pineal

09:14 . And he thought that because it's located but it's involved in some other

09:20 and some of the hormonal functions and of the uh slower kind of growth

09:28 functions and we don't discuss much of structure or how it plays into it

09:35 it's definitely not the contact of the the soul of the body. So

09:42 good of you to remember Now what are going to study more and try

09:48 understand more of the 12 cranial And we're gonna talk about 12 cranial

09:56 but we're gonna talk in detail about five of these 12 cranial nerves and

10:03 cranial nerves. Remember everything from the down is sub served by the nerves

10:10 go through the spinal cord seven. above the spinal cord you have

10:18 Oblong gotta pawns midbrain and above that have done this is the brain stem

10:26 . Live brain policy of Madura and out of the brain stem. You

10:32 these different nerves that handle everything around base and head. So if all

10:40 the sensor information touch from the limbs trunk up to the neck comes into

10:48 spinal cord and gets processed by dorsal ganglion south. Everything above basically this

10:58 is now process the sensory and motor of your facial muscles. So when

11:05 output motor command to move my okay that goes from the spinal

11:14 When you put out the motor command wink, wink you don't involve the

11:21 cord except you're moving. So maybe do. But if you just go

11:26 , wink that does involve spinal It now involves all of these cranial

11:34 And you have 12 of them. a factory nerve which is not shown

11:44 is number one. But olfactory nerve communicate information via the olfactory bulbs.

11:52 the olfactory bulbs. The optic nerve number two, The Ocular Motor Nerve

12:02 # three. If you look at of the names of the nerves,

12:10 tell you what they do. If is a factory nerve, it's all

12:18 . Okay if it is optic nerve is obviously visual information. What about

12:27 motor Oculus? Is the eye or eye. Ball motor. That means

12:35 this nerve has to do something with the motor function of the eyeball?

12:42 you have some other names like. clear that don't really explain what they

12:48 and we don't really talk much about of them. But I'll tell you

12:51 ones I would like for you to because it relates to the material that

12:55 already know. The material that we're to study. In the next few

13:01 toward the end of the semester as . So forth is stroke with a

13:07 , fifth nerve and you can see they're distributed from my brain. The

13:13 contains the largest nerve, trigeminal the fifth nerve. Try because it

13:21 three components of this facial nerve. , it penetrates into different muscles and

13:28 of your face. It's important to trigeminal nerve because it's the largest

13:34 So when you look at it either you know the lateral view or from

13:41 ventral frontal view, you should be to recognize the trigeminal nerve is the

13:47 nerve apart from the two optic nerves havoc i asthma. That's also very

13:52 to identify this. I may not you to identify either nerves but those

14:00 and as far as labeling you should the optic nerves and the chi asthma

14:04 the trigeminal nerve. For sure. , if you can notice that the

14:11 are from the superior to inferior in water 123456789 10. 11,

14:20 So if I ask you where the 11 or 12 nerve is located,

14:26 it likely that it's located in midbrain . You should be able to not

14:33 remember what's number 11, nervous or 12 what its function is, but

14:38 would it be located along these three parts of the brain stem. So

14:44 is also would be a good question the test. Okay, we have

14:50 trigeminal nerve number six abdu since number . We don't talk much about educational

14:56 nerves. Number seven don't talk about about this nerve either. The

15:02 Cochlear nerve is number eight. But another nerve that I want you to

15:07 . The stimulus to coke leah the , the stimulus apparatus balance cochlear to

15:15 . So this is the nerve that carry information from the cochlear one component

15:21 the cochlear the other component from the apparatus. Number nine is gloss.

15:30 , for NGO gloss. Oh this , for angel is pharynx.

15:39 so like I mentioned in the past , sometimes you have to take these

15:43 and break them into 23 pieces and understand where it's located or what it

15:49 be related to. It's related to tongue function to the pharynx function.

15:54 maybe movement of the tongue. Maybe things like that? Hipaa glass

16:02 The glass. So is the town high phone was underneath. So it

16:07 something to do with underneath the town . And you have accessory number of

16:14 . So we skipped over Chester Nerd the last one was half of loss

16:19 number 12. And it's difficult to all of these cranial nerves. And

16:28 what I did is I did a diagram for you guys. Let's see

16:33 I can get this closed. That a pneumonic of how to remember the

16:51 , the 12 nerves and how to the five nerves and I will point

16:55 you that we need to know. we came up with this pneumonic when

16:59 were studying for our undergraduate exam and was really cool because my undergraduate

17:06 the head and neck component of neuroscience labeling these nerves on the actual human

17:13 . So we didn't do it with or with even a pencil, but

17:19 actually had to go and look at the nerves are, what labels are

17:25 and then identify them properly. And we have to know all of these

17:31 . My my class had to know of these 12 rooms, all of

17:36 functions, all of their locations and and label all of them on the

17:40 human cadavers. So we're just gonna a little bit easier. But we

17:44 sitting in the evening and we were how are we gonna remember? And

17:47 looked at some harmonics that were there then we came up with something silly

17:51 now stuck for, you know, some years or something. So Bugs

17:57 says, oh to touch and feel green vegetables. Ah So what does

18:08 mean in this case? Oh ! first letter to touch. The first

18:14 indicates the first letter of the cranial . So Oo factory. Oh optic

18:20 ocular motor too. Trow clia touch a abdu since f feel divas to

18:29 a cochlear G glass differential. The nerve with skip number 10 vagus nerve

18:36 is very important. And I want to know it because you already know

18:40 . And then we have the accessory is ah hipaa glass cell which is

18:48 . So this is our kind of pneumonic into remembering the order of the

18:56 . And giving us a hint of name of the nerve. So for

19:02 guys for this class, I want to know the first three or factory

19:08 we mentioned it. Look at the bulb, Look at the factory what

19:11 does. It's basically smell optic because will discuss it within the context of

19:17 visual system. Ocular motor because it what it does and that will give

19:23 the clue and some of the names the nerves in the future if you're

19:28 to pursue it in any other professional that you can remember, some of

19:32 by what the name is is what function is. So 1,

19:39 35 Trigeminal. I want you to trigeminal now. eight. The

19:47 Cochlear nerve. The reason why I you to know trigeminal nerve. It's

19:51 largest stock of the nerve. It's almost in the middle of the brain

19:56 which would place it within palms. . And it's very easy to

20:03 And the reason why I want you know this to be Lecoq Leonardo is

20:08 we will study the cochlea outputs and we study the auditory system, the

20:15 system and finally number 10 vegetables. vagus nerve and vagus nerve is because

20:26 already know it as the nerve that used to discover simulation of Vegas to

20:33 silk Colin released in the heart. also one of the nerves that runs

20:38 most extensively throughout the body and innovates hard innovates. The viscera has very

20:45 innovations throughout the body. You Some of these cranial nerves are

20:53 some of them are motor, some them are both, which means that

20:57 have a sensory component in the fiber and motor component which is the output

21:04 goes through the muscles of the face the, of the, of the

21:09 of the tongue and so on. we had another pneumonic for bugs

21:18 Another one said so so much But my brother says, bugs bunny

21:26 more. So what does that That was our pneumonic to remember 12

21:33 . 12 Cranial nerves. S stands censoring. M stands for motor b

21:40 for both. So so is So is S. Much as

21:47 Money M. But is both. is m brother is both. So

21:57 one. Number two A sensory sensory , whole factor and optic nerve carrying

22:03 information. Number three is motor. what it is called? Ocular

22:09 Number five. Not only is very , it has three components but it's

22:17 . It's sensory and motor. So the sensory motor Number eight Mr Klia

22:28 sensory and number 10 bunny is Yeah So again for the exam I

22:40 you to know 12358 and 10 Half of these 12 cranial nerves. Um

22:55 again if you find yourself in some school after this pursuing a higher degree

23:03 very likely to come back to these nerves if you're gonna stay in the

23:08 of neuroscience of geometry, dentistry. school has neuroscience. Dental neuroscience I

23:18 the second semester of the first year a portion of the year and cover

23:26 cranial nerves as well. So hopefully pneumonic can help you. You can

23:34 your own, you can create your , you can borrow somebody else's.

23:38 are many. It's something that worked me. I can't forget it.

23:44 not that I like it but it okay. Yeah we need again.

23:55 you repeat which ones we need 112358 10 12358 10. Thank

24:06 You're welcome. Let's see if I . So what brings you out of

24:21 So this is how we can study remember the cranial nerves and like I

24:28 we'll come back and for example learn the south that comprise the optic

24:33 learn about the south and the accent the south that comprise the cochlear nerve

24:39 we'll learn about their pathways and projections these visual auditory systems. Okay spinal

24:50 . We briefly discussed final chord. everything again as you can see from

24:57 from the skull down information this process the spinal cord and you have cervical

25:06 for the thorax, lumber and then portions of the spinal cord. And

25:14 have cervical vertebra which is c. through cervical vertebra. C.

25:23 So there's seven cervical vertebra. Then have 12 T. One through

25:30 12 of the thoracic vertebra. Then have five L. One through

25:39 Five of lumber vertebra in your lower . And then you have the sacred

25:47 and the sacred nerve coming out of . Now in between each one of

25:55 vertebra, you can see about one. You have the first cranial

26:01 . Then you have the eighth cranial nerve that is coming from the 7th

26:11 cervical vertebra and first thoracic vertebra. you have the first thoracic nerve.

26:20 in between each one of the vertebra have a branch of this nerve that

26:26 us on one side and on the side of the body. Okay,

26:33 chord proper such as one continuous structure looks like a tube. Okay.

26:40 ends at about L. Two, . Three. Number two. Number

26:48 . So in about this area this the first lumber vertebra, this is

26:53 second in this area. The spinal ends being one continuous like a tube

27:03 turns into dispersed fiber bundles. And dispersed fiber bundles referred to as cada

27:13 , a queen, A. For , which is a horse cada

27:21 It's for tail. So horse's tail the spinal cord now looks like flared

27:29 horses stale where each one of the is a spinal uh their bundle

27:37 And this is the information at each is a different information. So if

27:44 are feeling pain in the shoulder for , it's very likely that pain has

27:52 do something with either the upper thoracic the lower cervical vertebra. Um If

28:03 pain is not related to direct injury your shoulder, but it is a

28:07 that you have a pinched nerve and that level would be affecting your

28:14 there was for example uh something that impaired at the vertebrae here, then

28:22 nerves that are supplying the thorax will affected and that might be painful around

28:30 upper waist and and the rib cage intercostal muscles in the rib cage and

28:37 like that. Okay, so now have this understanding of different nerves.

28:46 . One through T. 12. you have 12 thoracic nerves. You

28:50 eight cervical nerves, 12 thoracic You have five lumber nerves and the

28:57 nerve. You remember? These nerves comprised of the sensory and motor components

29:04 each side. This one fiber bundle we call the spinal nerve contains the

29:11 coming into the dorsal root ganglion. is here through the peripheral axons and

29:18 the central axons into the dorsal side the spinal cord. And if you

29:24 in the spinal cord you have this are called the dorsal horns and eventual

29:32 . But the shape that you're looking looks almost like a butterfly shape so

29:39 dorsal root ganglion cell axons, the axons from this bundle here from the

29:46 from the selma's will innovate through the side of the spinal cord and mostly

29:54 ventral column. I'm sorry the dorsal of the spinal cord and mostly the

30:02 horn. Here. The motor neurons the gray matter here of this butterfly

30:10 the, so most of these neurons surrounded by the white matter which are

30:16 bundles. And these fiber bundles are from lower extremities and descending from information

30:25 the higher centers in the C. . S. Eventually in this ventral

30:31 you will have selma's of the motor that will send their axons into the

30:39 right? And they will join co here the sensory fibers into forming one

30:46 spinal nerve that we call spinal So we said that there are eight

30:52 spinal nerves so each one of them each side will have the dorsal root

30:57 component and the outgoing ventral motor neuron . You can see that the spinal

31:07 is also cushioned and surrounded by subarachnoid, arachnoid space and dura modest

31:16 protection. You don't have that same of protection where you have caught a

31:23 . A of course. Now the thing to notice is that you have

31:30 different structures that are labeled here such dorsal column, lateral column and eventual

31:39 . And these are white matters. this is white matter. And because

31:44 white matters, the fiber bundles that either sending or descending through the spinal

31:50 . So the major the major ascending all of the sensor information. Even

31:58 it's reflexive, you moved your hand something like this at information from the

32:06 from this cervical thoracic region is going inform my head even if it's a

32:14 . But most of the time it's the reflex. This command is coming

32:18 contra lateral side from the contra lateral cortex. But that information something touches

32:25 is gonna go into the spinal cord it's going to ascend up because if

32:32 touches me. I may have a behavior to it like a fire or

32:37 sharp right? But I'm also going be consciously aware of it and subsequently

32:44 other output functions on the output motor . So all of these fibers gonna

32:50 carrying, sending information, sending sensory through dorsal column. And the other

32:58 faculties are spinal Kalanick faculties here and you have a whole bunch of descending

33:07 pathways. So why are this ascending are sensory and descending pathways for

33:15 Because ascending is carrying the sensory information censor information, descending is a command

33:25 perform among motor function. So the motor pathways and you have cortical spinal

33:31 , spinal made jewelry ridiculous spinal tech spinal ponting vertical spinal that's the people's

33:38 tract. You have the lateral path venture medial pathways that are descending motor

33:45 for the exam. I want you know the dorsal column. Okay,

33:50 it's a major ascending bundle, it's the dorsal side, its dorsal column

33:57 it's fairly easy to identify on the . But again, pay attention for

34:06 that the name of that tract tells where it originates and where it is

34:15 . Spinal thalamic is going from the to thalamus. Okay, how about

34:23 to spinal. Remember text. Um it goes from tech TEM to

34:31 The stimulus final the stimulus Perata's to . Okay, so I don't want

34:40 to know the major descending motor pathways I want you to know and understand

34:48 they their names a lot of We'll tell the cortical spinal where it

34:55 cortical and where it's going spinal or other way spinal thalamic where originates in

35:02 spine and where it's going into the . This is autonomic, miserable peripheral

35:13 system and all of the organs that their innovations of sympathetic ganglia and the

35:23 nervous system. This is showing you innovation of the vagus nerve. The

35:28 nerve will have very extensive projections throughout the viscera and into the heart and

35:34 organs. Okay. And this pretty ends this last slide because we don't

35:40 much about peripheral nervous system that pretty ends our discussion on the C.

35:46 . S. And the last remainder the time today. And we have

35:53 a bit of time left. I talk a little bit about imaging and

35:58 maybe briefly start introducing the visual So we'll see what happens over the

36:05 couple of lectures but we may be to catch up with the syllabus as

36:09 go. And once we understand the of the brain we start understanding what

36:17 parts of the brain responsible their The Holy Grail and the clinical world

36:22 to be able to look at the of the brain non invasively. And

36:28 is difficult to do that because most the techniques for example that look at

36:34 brain function are static techniques. So may have heard of computer tomography or

36:41 scans or ct imaging and ct imaging X ray in multiple dimensions. It

36:50 penetrates in different focal planes throughout imaging specific part of the body or specific

36:57 of the brain or the entire But there's static images and C.

37:04 . Can be used. Well if are for example detecting changes in the

37:09 the bone mass because X rays are good right? When you break a

37:14 you don't go and do FmR. functional magnetic resonance imaging. But typically

37:19 do an X ray to an X of your teeth. You see the

37:23 really well. So C. Will show you the bones and the

37:28 structures really well if there's abnormal growth fluid in contrast. So there are

37:36 that can be injected as you undergo procedures like CT and they're injected in

37:42 blood vessels. So there's a contrast there's a difference between certain tissues and

37:47 blood vessels that you can gain. you can use this to identify large

37:55 , abnormal collections of fluids and But it doesn't tell you about the

38:02 function. And of course you would C. T. Two. For

38:07 if somebody has a brain tumor. . Zorg leo sell originating tumors are

38:15 of the most common tumors of the but it will not tell you about

38:19 function of neurons around these tumors. also have a magnetic resonance imaging technique

38:27 uses measures hydrogen atoms. It has X ray and we'll talk about it

38:34 a little bit more detail an R. I can be functional but

38:39 have to be functional for us. most interesting in neuroscience is the function

38:46 neurons, not just how the brain change statically as a part of

38:52 For example. Alzheimer's disease or tumor or rewiring following traumatic brain injury or

39:03 like that. But it's really interesting neuroscientists to know the function. How

39:09 we measure the function? And the lecture I believe or maybe second

39:13 I showed you look at these brain when the person is looking at the

39:19 there uh occipital lobe is very active the person is listening to the

39:25 their temporal lobe is very active. how do you obtain that kind of

39:31 that you can non invasively measure activity somebody's skull? And you do that

39:38 pet which is positive on emission NFL moronic and mind you that pet

39:46 , for example will also be used different settings. For example on diagnosis

39:50 cancers and other parts of the body part of the body. But it

39:56 also be used to measure the These are very sophisticated, expensive experiments

40:03 measure brain activity and so can M. R. I. When

40:07 measure brain activity and when neurons are neurons. Although the brain is only

40:15 3.5 for some of the total body It consumes over 20% of the total

40:23 That we intake through the mouths and mouths produce our own energy. 20%

40:33 into the brain. And when neurons active, they require more oxygen.

40:39 blood flow to the regions of the neurons increases the oxygen consumption increases glucose

40:49 . Okay, also increases so nutrient and oxygen consumption increases in the neurons

40:57 are acting. So if you have active region in the back of the

41:01 , you can start imaging it. one of these two techniques,

41:08 you have a hydrogen atom, one and it can jump high energy or

41:15 energy state. And the frequency at low state protons absorb energy is called

41:21 frequency, which they basically bounce between two states. And you have radio

41:28 that are emitted by protons. So uh and F. M.

41:36 I. You have to go inside coil which is a magnet. It's

41:44 very strong magnetic coil. So you're supposed to wear any anything metal.

41:49 if you walk in from cafeteria and forgot a spoon in your pocket and

41:53 fly and attach itself to the Very powerful magnets. Sometimes you will

41:59 descriptions. It's T. Five magnet stands for Tesla five T. 77

42:07 magnets are very powerful magnets that to those radio waves that admitted by protons

42:14 can show you active regions of the . So you don't you you don't

42:19 to just see the anatomy and changes anatomy but you also want to see

42:24 active regions in the brain. functional imaging and other kind of functional

42:32 is pet here. You actually get with the radioactively labeled solution with positively

42:40 ions. Okay so it's blood So if you're going to do pet

42:49 you typically get this injection and then have to wait to become radioactive fully

42:58 half an hour to an hour. then the procedure I think is about

43:05 minutes depending on how much of the their imaging the full body or a

43:11 part of the body. The person gets injected with radioactive label material.

43:16 sit in a separate room. So you go with somebody to pet scan

43:21 won't be able to sit with them that hour while they're hot. Uh

43:27 cannot because they are actually radioactivity and a half life of about two I

43:35 24 hours these radioactively labeled materials to out of your system. Not everybody

43:41 handle these procedures. People have claustrophobia if you're going into the M.

43:48 . I. And F. R. E. Coil, especially

43:51 the head imaging or something, it be loud and it could be confining

43:56 space. Um They have to sedate sometimes with general anesthesia including general

44:05 If they want to image certain parts the body. So it's not the

44:10 as dental X ray. This is techniques are a lot more involved.

44:15 you can think of trying to image child's brain using M. R.

44:23 . Or cat scan or even M. R. I. Where

44:28 placing them in this really strange, confining environment. You know.

44:35 not everybody can make through through these of procedures, but I'm just pointing

44:41 out that, you know, this this is not just your regular dental

44:45 ray that you get on a yearly . Yes, I don't think there's

44:58 risk of getting cancers and I think if you're getting them a lot,

45:05 you're exposed to repeatedly it then I'm sure if you have a risk for

45:14 . You may have other problems before have a risk of cancer. And

45:18 would be like liver problems. Because these foreign materials, they get filtered

45:26 they get filtered through the kidneys and get filtered through the liver and they

45:31 metabolized by the liver and it could an overload. And that is that

45:37 an important point that if somebody for has compromised organ function such as liver

45:48 metabolism of some of these injectable materials they may have to think twice or

45:55 not even be able to go through procedures that require the contrast agents and

46:00 require the radioactively labeled agents. Good . So now in positron emission

46:09 you're looking at glucose consumption. We protons that bind electrons. And electromagnetic

46:17 of these coils will pick them up you can see how small the space

46:22 . It's not it's not a big . These coils are big. They

46:26 like big rooms around the magnets, a lot of times the spaces that

46:31 have to enter in this is for head scan, we probably wouldn't even

46:35 able to fit the body and the scans. It might be different variations

46:39 these. Yeah. You know, always do that. You get like

46:45 they really still how still do you have to sit inside the M.

46:51 . I. Like for to get sorted. Yeah, that's it.

47:00 another great question. So You have be very still. It's a great

47:08 . So when they do this image procedures, yeah, you kind of

47:10 like toss from side to side and over so you just 10 minutes into

47:16 . The procedure takes 20 minutes. know, you're like, I can't

47:21 this anymore. You start shaking your start over because a lot of,

47:25 know, for functional, of course doing fast imagery. Some of these

47:30 things that we're talking about, you be doing slow imaging and you're starting

47:33 here, moving down, moving moving down and ending here. You

47:39 from here, you're moving down and doing it in different planes and different

47:44 dimensions. And then you're like stop , you know, because now hypothalamus

47:49 disconnected from the thalamus someplace. So , so you have to be really

47:56 and there's just you just have to your best as a patient. You

48:00 , sometimes you have to be really patient, you have to do these

48:03 , you know, to get some solved or something in answer, you

48:09 ? So if if in uh pet sir, using d glucose consumption to

48:17 oxy glucose is a measure of glucose because active neurons will be consuming

48:23 So wherever you see these hot the red spots, these are the

48:30 of neuronal activity or what we call maps of brain meat, heat maps

48:35 accurate south active networks. And you present certain stimuli to the subjects,

48:42 you can have them listen to music then you turn off the music so

48:46 can image their brain activity as they're to music. And then this is

48:51 stimulation, listening to music. And you turn off the music and you

48:55 the same images of the brain activity controls and the day different. So

49:01 can subtract two images of activity that obtained from stimulated and stimulated brain.

49:10 the difference will tell you what part the brain was involved. This suggests

49:16 maybe it's the I don't even know orientation, but I think this is

49:24 no, this is the frontal, think this is a tough problem.

49:27 would be the surveillance is some something do with with the frontal lobe

49:32 You you're measuring the levels of him Logan oxy hemoglobin versus de oxy

49:44 If the South have more oxy if the oxy hemoglobin ratio is greater

49:49 the oxy it means the South are using as much uh oxygen. So

49:58 will carry oxygen and if the neurons very active they will deoxygenated which is

50:06 hemoglobin or d oxy hemoglobin. And the cells that are more active will

50:12 greater amounts of deoxygenated hemoglobin and the supply to the areas of neuronal networks

50:20 are engaged in different activities as they're to the subject. So these techniques

50:27 immigrant functional activity or not real there's some delay between when there is

50:33 stimulation or a task and how fast techniques can pick up the information.

50:40 obviously are not seeing individual structures You're not seeing the boundaries like in

50:46 side architect tonic maps. You have overlap these images usually with steri attacked

50:53 or information about the brain, you to know the maps and all of

50:58 focal plane. So as a radiologist brain scans, you should be able

51:03 identify different structures quite easily or the based on the stereotype toxic or the

51:11 that are given to you to identify locations in the brain. You can't

51:16 individual neurons. There is no microscopic here. It's only macroscopic resolution,

51:28 highest facial resolution that these techniques can . Or maybe on the order of

51:36 . And neurons are 10 μm in . Some of these imaging and advanced

51:44 techniques functional and moving down to uh millimeters instead of a centimeter which is

51:54 millimeters to two millimeters or one millimeter is in the town Which is a

52:01 microns. So you're still looking at and these responses a single pixel or

52:09 imaging referred to as Vauxhall. A pixel from this image would represent hundreds

52:16 not thousands of active cells or inactive as it may be. Okay.

52:24 I think ultimate goal is to have much higher resolution, a lot less

52:35 radioactive materials or anything that can overload organ function. When you're doing these

52:42 techniques like in pet scan, uh materials and N. C.

52:49 Scans and the ability to do it fast. So if we could get

52:56 to a few cell size networks non through these coils really fast speed,

53:07 know, if not at one millisecond is one kilohertz but close to

53:13 that would be great because then if get to about one kilohertz or one

53:18 speeds, you can start picking up potential activity. So right now it's

53:25 really action potential activity. It's it's a collection of both. Pre synaptic

53:31 post synaptic and most likely represented. synaptic activity of the of the

53:38 So for the F. M. . I. It doesn't require any

53:43 material. Just measuring oxygen consumption. . You murdering the human. Global

53:51 . The oxygenated oxygenated. Okay, good. We're done with C.

54:04 . S. Can you believe So we started from single South,

54:09 moved into the action potentials, neurotransmitter , releasing communication between South. We

54:21 at what's going on and uh in brain as a whole and how the

54:35 developed. And now we're gonna start into systems. So the visual system

54:40 a system because it isn't one there's just not one thing, it's

54:44 just an eye. The retina, eyeball structure. The retina communicates in

54:50 most ominous, communicates to the primary cortex, primary to the secondary,

54:55 , tertiary ordinary independent association areas. that's a whole system for us to

55:03 what we call a gestalt, the of form or the control, the

55:11 configuration and form of the visual view you're seeing here and the different aspects

55:16 that view. Color movement, depth to depth. So that when you

55:24 at the people sitting fire in the of the classroom, I don't think

55:28 they're half the size of the people in the front of the classroom,

55:33 different cells that react to bright lights dark lights that's all a part of

55:39 digital system neurotransmitters of themselves release the how they process that information. So

55:46 the next 2.5 lectures we will attempt walk through the visual system and if

55:55 follow through from the circuit and the all the way to the primary visual

56:02 and organization along the way of these system projections. Then at the end

56:09 the third lecture, you understand how form the primal sketch of the outside

56:17 and some of the aspects of the such as color in motion and directionality

56:24 processing of the south individual cortex. we see represents properties of objects and

56:30 organization of sensations by the brain. a certain structure in our cortex.

56:36 were born with a code with a assembly it assembled that pretty much similar

56:42 your parents. Maybe a million years that will be assembled a little

56:47 but that is a slow evolving Um so we're limited to what we

56:57 by the structure and function of our system and different components. Oh,

57:05 the way guys, the average on was 7.7. Good job. So

57:11 average for the exam was 76. forgot to mention it. The low

57:17 on the quiz was to the high were several tens. Uh So it

57:24 to take the quiz and 7.7 is yourself 3/4 of a grade up actually

57:34 it to your exam scores come. , I forgot to mention that I

57:38 it down but I never talked about . Okay, let's go back to

57:42 visual system. So we have these dimensional experiences and we form a lot

57:49 these three dimensional experiences. Of course see things in three dimensions, but

57:53 far away things are still in two . You know, This is the

57:59 on the board. The line on board is two Dimensions. Another line

58:06 another two dimensions. All right, is all two dimensions. And if

58:19 were to ask you, what is , you will say the box and

58:29 looks like a box and it looks it has the front, it has

58:33 top has the side and you imagine probably has the back. There's another

58:38 you cannot see. But it's just dimensions of lines and dots on the

58:47 . So we form these three And a lot of the assumptions we

58:51 about three dimensions is because of the knowledge from the sensory stimulations and because

58:57 the background structure of the brain and circuits of processes information. And we

59:05 them into more or less stable So that is constant despite the information

59:13 in in and in what we think is despite the changes and information.

59:20 changes this information as if I were walk away far from this chair.

59:25 still think I can sit on this and shrink that if I walked around

59:29 chair, we still think it has legs. Although I can't can only

59:33 three now. But I'm not thinking just hanging on three legs, you

59:39 ? Well you can't see all the . If I turn start right,

59:44 you can't even see them holding it my m you know, so but

59:48 still it's still the same chair. we see it the same way we

59:54 certain assumptions about what is to be in the world. Their expectations.

59:59 , that we derived from the sensor and from the built in wiring.

60:07 make certain assumptions. So if you on top uh an ambiguous pattern in

60:14 if I were to ask you, do you see here, the most

60:17 answer would be I see columns of and yellow dots and what do you

60:24 here? I see rows of yellow blue dots and that's what we call

60:32 principle of similarity. We tend to similar things together in in color or

60:38 pattern or in shape and in this we grouped together blues into a line

60:46 yellows into a line when in fact not what the artist intended. The

60:51 intended. Yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue. It's

60:55 alternating column of yellow and blue. hard to make your brain think about

61:03 that these are columns. His lines actually article lines rather than the

61:10 similar looking objects in the horizontal proximity is another principle. Things that

61:18 close together. So here this blue were moved closer together in the horizontal

61:34 . And now again we think that is columns and we think that these

61:40 rose. But why not? That are columns? Well, it can

61:48 right, but just it's difficult to about it because we group them together

61:53 wines and here's Arizona lines, here's lines. So we assume certain

62:01 We learned certain things to observe We have a lot of illusions.

62:07 two lines actually have these blue arrow here to show that it's the same

62:15 arrow. But if I didn't have two together, I could even draw

62:20 on the board and they would look lengths. You still arrows pretty pretty

62:32 . I'm gonna take this. I'm go from here to hear. We'll

62:41 the same here from here to hear does the same 1? This is

62:52 same one and this looks so much . Now, The bottom one and

63:10 tough one but they're the same So it's the surrounding the assumptions and

63:19 things, not just the actual object influence of how we perceive it and

63:26 we misread certain things. So somebody you which is a longer line,

63:31 know, most of you say bottom that's a misreading it's actually the same

63:35 . And if I were to do when you realize, oh it is

63:51 the same line because it's a So uh here's kind of a that's

64:01 I was talking about. The person sitting. There's two people sitting.

64:04 is sitting further down the hall where don't assume that that person is half

64:08 size of the person that is sitting to, that could be smaller,

64:12 could be larger. But typically you assume that it looks like it's the

64:16 chair. So you assume it's the size chair, similar sized person.

64:22 you don't think that that person is , really small person sitting down

64:26 And that's the perspective also in the there's a lot more illusions and also

64:34 in nature and patterns. Once we certain patterns and certain delusion, we

64:41 it very quickly. And from that on we can recall it very

64:45 This one is very standard. So either two faces of the base.

64:51 one is yellow is the fish, is the frog. And it's pretty

64:58 . These are very simple optical but quite often people will be just

65:04 on the fish or just on the . And once they see the fish

65:07 the frog will never forget this fish frog there. But you can have

65:11 , very complex optical illusions and you also learn pretty fast. And once

65:15 do, you see it now, can recognize them. Life comes into

65:21 retina. And it carries certain Says electromagnetic radiation. Its ways of

65:28 radiation that have wavelength amplitude and The visible spectrum of life falls in

65:36 wavelength between 400 nanometers to 700 This is what is the visual optical

65:45 that our retinas can perceive by. animals live in different spectrum and they

65:52 perceive the world as heat maps. the bees will be flying around,

65:58 will not be seeing information the same . They will be like more like

66:02 heat maps. But we perceive this . So to the lower wavelength you

66:12 this uh Roy G. Bev orange, yellow, green, blue

66:20 , violet Roy G. Um Red violent on this side of violence.

66:30 have ultraviolet rays, you have gamma x rays and you have gamma rays

66:38 this higher wavelength. You have infrared , radar broadcast bands, a.

66:49 circuit. But the information we can and these are not the only

66:57 There's many, many hues and many hues combinations that we can see within

67:03 different wavelengths of light when the light a different surface. It can do

67:15 of the two things. It can reflected from that surface. So you

67:20 highly reflective materials like a foil for will reflect the materials you can have

67:27 light absorbed. They have absorptive materials darker materials that can absorb the electromagnetic

67:36 . And it lets say the material a different from air to fluid.

67:45 example a different phase. You can rare fraction or bending of the light

67:54 that are coming in. And so what happens when light. It hits

68:01 retina and hits the eyeball and the . This environment inside the eyeball,

68:08 actually retracts and then some of the of light. The information will come

68:17 through the pupil which is surrounded by iris. Have the square here.

68:24 conjure, Activia have the cornea, have the extra ocular muscles. These

68:31 gonna be the muscles that are gonna the eyeball and you have the optic

68:37 that comes out in the back of eyeball in general. What you will

68:43 about is that disinformation the digital information into the retina. We will study

68:51 circuit here in the retina projections from retina going to the lateral nucleus of

68:58 thalamus LG. Which is a six structure from lateral nucleus nucleus. The

69:05 projections go into the primary visual cortical and there are two main processing streams

69:14 break off and diverge from the occipital . The stream that goes into the

69:23 inferior temporal regions and the inferior temporal here is concerned with processing color that's

69:34 key right there. Color, depth . So color depth and form.

69:45 this is also related to the temporal . So it will get intermingled with

69:52 auditory signals in the temporal cortex. other pathway the dorsal parietal pathway projects

70:02 processing the visual information into this dorsal parietal cortex and the pathway that projects

70:12 is mostly interested in motion and depth that's important because if you're looking at

70:22 that's going to be motion, the cortex is over here. You're gonna

70:27 to somehow co join the information that seeing with a motor out with you're

70:34 so when you're moving your hand you're scratching somebody's space that you're stopping your

70:39 the proper way. So there's going be communication through the association areas of

70:46 complex behaviors which involve visual processing, output, verbal output and so

70:53 This is the visual system. So will walk through these different parts of

70:57 visual system. Today we will focus on the eyeball, some of the

71:03 slides. Great labeling slides in the uh eyeball, you have Aquarius humor

71:13 . Okay. Aquarius humor that's provides to this region. So this is

71:20 chris environments and once the light strikes refracts and then this is the second

71:27 environment which is the vitreous humor which the eyeball its shape is gel like

71:36 substance basically there can be uh dysfunctions Aquarius humor and nutrient supply that are

71:46 to a coma. So there are conditions of course that you can have

71:53 you have damage to the nutrients. also conditions that you can have the

71:59 to other systems and inflammation and intraocular and other problems that can happen.

72:07 in general it's a fluid is like the information will commit through the

72:13 You can see that the iris is here by the silvery bodies and the

72:19 serie ligaments. So if these ligaments they relax, this lens is gonna

72:29 thicker. If this ligaments contract, contract we're gonna stretch and we're gonna

72:36 the lens thinner and that's how we focus in and out further distances in

72:43 distances by changing the shape and the off the lens. The retina is

72:50 all the way in the back of eyeball. The optic nerve where it

72:56 out. This is the blind spot here where the optic nerve exits out

73:03 this is what is called the We'll look at it. This is

73:07 most of the direct axial rays of will be directly toward the phobia.

73:14 phobia. I'm gonna go over time and phobia will contain the highest concentrations

73:22 the cone photo receptors. And so is the fiber bundle. This fiber

73:28 is cranial nerve two or optic nerve exits out of the back of the

73:33 . So you can see that the is designed the strongest light to go

73:38 into the phobia. And also you see there's blood vessels are also gonna

73:43 exiting out through the area where you the exit of the second cranial

73:49 Okay we're almost out of time. think we're out of time. So

73:54 gonna take a pause today. We'll a few more slides on the eyeball

73:59 then we will move into the structure function of the retina. Retinal

74:05 Talk about rods and cones and how get different colors in the eye.

74:11 , So have a good weekend the of the week, and I will

74:15 everyone here on monday, happy Wednesday
