Q

Motor Loop Internal Pathways

A

Stop
Go
No-Go

-all of GPi as output nucleus; inhibits motor thalmus to excite cortical motor areas to excite motor neurons
-cause excessive or insufficient movement

16
Q

Stop Pathway

A

-fastest; hyperdirect

Cortex < Glutamate < Sub nuc < glutamate < GPi < GABA < Motor Thalamus: inhibit motor programs to stop irrelevant movement

17
Q

Go Pathway

A

-direct pathway
-activation disinhibits motor

Cortex < Glutamate < Putamen < GABA < GPi < Dopamine (less) < Motor Thalamus: less inhibition to motor thalamus makes specific mmts to cortex via corticospinal

18
Q

No-Go Pathway

A

-indirect pathway
-inhibits unwanted mmt, fine tuning

Cortex < Glutamate < Putamen < Dopamine (inhibits) < GPe < Glutamate (inhibits less) < Subthalamic Nucleus < Glutamate < Gpi < Dopamine (inhibits) < Motor Thalamus

19
Q

Medium Spiny Neurons

A

-spiny projections
-GABAergic inhibitory cells in
Striatum
-Putamen’s D1 and D2 bind to Dopamine (made by Substatia Nigra)

D1: Direct pathway (Go); dopamine excites inhibitory in GPi

D2: Indirect pathway (No-go); dopamine inhibits Neurons in putamen and GPe, disinhibiting SN and stimulating GPi

20
Q

Voluntary Muscle Activity thru Basal Ganglia

A

-motor thalamus to motor tract cells in cortex
-Glutamate
-corticospinal, corticopontine, corticobrainstem

21
Q

Postural and Proximal Limb Muscle Activity thru Basal Ganglia

A

-pedunculopontine nucleus in midbrain to reticulospinal tracts to spinal nerves
-GABA to Glutamate

22
Q

A

-midbrain locomotor region to retticulospinal tracts to stepping pattern generators
-ACH than Glutamate

-parkinsons

24
Q

Hyperkinetic Disorders

A

-too little inhibition cause
-Huntington’s Disease
-Dystonia
-Tourette’s

25
Q

Parkinson’s Disease

A

-decreased dopamine from SN leads to excessive activity of GPi inhibiting motor control

Postural Instability Gait Difficulty (PIGD) Subtype:
-bradykinesia
-hypokinesia (freezing gait, pill rolling, masked face, tremor)
-rigidity
-ANS dysfunction
-Cognitive Dysfunction

Tremor Dominant Subtype:
-Hyperkinetic (resting and activie tremor)
-rigidty
-contipation
-orthostatic hypotension

26
Q

Huntington’s Disease

A

-hyperkinetic
-genetic disease causing Cortical, striatum, Putamen progressive degeneration
-90% loss of GABA inhibitory neurons in putamen and caudate so less input to GPe (no-go)
-cause GPi to have Ballistic involuntary, continuous mmts (Chorei-form)
-thalamic neurons can fire randomly

27
Q

Dystonia

A

-genetic, nonprogressive, involuntary sustained muscle contractions, abnormal posture and repetitive mmts
-increase during stress or activity

28
Q

Putamen

A

-regulate mmts and influence learning
-part of lentiform nucleus with GP
-part of striatum with caudate nucleus

29
Q

Globus Pallidus Internus

A

-control conscious and proprioceptive mmts
-cognition and motivation
-output nucleus
-primarily inhibitory

30
Q

Globus Pallidus Externus

A

-central hub for motor and non-motor info
-control conscious and proprioceptive mmts
-motivation
-input nucleus

31
Q
