cerebral cortex Flashcards
how many layers are in the cerebral cortex
6
what is in the external granular layer
basket cells , chandelier cells , granular cells
which cells are in the external pyramidal layer
small pyramidal neurons and basket cells
which cells are in the internal granular layer
granular cells, stellate cells , neuroglial form cells
which cells are in internal pyramidal layer
big pyramidal neurons
most of the interneurons are inhibitory except ?
cortical stellate cells
inhibtory neurons cell type
stellate cells
chandelier cells
neuroglial cells
basket cells
association fibers with in hemisphere is connected by
cingulum
commisural fibers which connect 2 hemispheres
corpus collasum & fornix
tell me the steps of ascending tracs
Receptor
1st neuron which is DRG , which is an cluster of cell bodies outside Spinal cord
2nd neuron which is located in posterior horn
3rd neuron which is subcortical centres
at last it reaches cerebral coretx
tell me the steps of descending tract of somatosensory
cortex or brainstem
interneuron in anterior horn
motor neuron in ascending horn
skeletal muscle or myotome
which cell has a mesodermal origin
microglial cells in CNS
activated microglia are in which form?
ameboid form with circulating monocytes
outer pyramidal layer has which projection? and where does it projects
has efferent projections
and it does project to different cortical regions
now tell me abt inner pyramidal layer projections
it has effernt projections and does innervates cranial nuclei such as caudate , putamen , pons , red nucleus , and reticular formation
and also does cranial nerve , spinal cord , and brainsteam
