Q

Growth of Cerebral Hemispheres

A

cortex initially smooth
growth results in sulci
gyri form from infoldings
sulci and gyri increase surface area without increasing volume of neurocranium
brain increase postnatally is from neurons increasing in size and axon myelination

Q

Myelencephalon Development

A

Caudal:

  1. Neural blasts in alar plate move to marginal zone = form nucleus gracilis and cuneatus of the PCML tract
  2. pyramids of corticospinal tract

Rostral:

  1. pontine flexure moves walls of medulla laterally
  2. roof plate thins
  3. cavity becomes part of 4th ventricle
17
Q

Metencephalon Development

A
  • walls form pons and cerebellum
  • cavity forms 4th ventricle
  • pontine flexure forces walls of pons laterally to spread grey matter on floor of 4th ventricle
  • neuroblasts of basal plate become motor nuclei
18
Q

Cerebellum Development

A
  • from dorsal parts of alar plates
  • cerebellar swellings project into 4th ventricle and fuse in median plane; overgrow rostral 4th ventricle, pons, and medulla
  • alar plates also form central nuclei, pontine, cochlear nuclei
19
Q

Choroid Plexus Development

A
  • ependymal roof of 4th ventricle is covered with pia mater from hindbrain mesenchyme
  • pia + ependyma = tela choroidea
  • tela choroidea proliferates and invests in 4th ventricle to form choroid plexus
  • roof of 4th ventricle invaginates and forms media + lateral apertures
20
Q

Midbrain Development

A
  • neuroblasts of alar plates migrate to tectum
  • form inferior and superior colliculi
  • neuroblasts of basal plates form tegmental nuclei of red, reticular, CN III and IV nuclei
  • substantia nigra forms from either basal or alar plate
  • neural canal narrows and forms cerebral aqueduct
  • fibers from cerebral cortex form cerebral peduncles
21
Q

Diencephalon Development

A
  • swellings in lateral walls of third ventricle form thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, subthalamus
  • Thalamus: bulges into a cavity and fuses at midline
  • Hypothalamus: neuroblasts in intermediate zone form endocrine and homeostatic nuclei; mamillary bodies form on ventral surface
  • Epithalamus: from roof and dorsal lateral wall
  • Pineal Gland: median outgrowth of roof of diencephalon
22
Q

Pituitary Gland Development

A

2 embryo sources

  1. Hypopophyseal Diverticulum: upgrowth of stomodeum of oral ectoderm
  2. neurohypophyseal Diverticulum/Rathke’s Pouch: downgrowth of diencephalon of neuroectoderm; also forms infundibulum between developing bones of cranium
23
Q

Hypopophyseal Diverticulum

A
  • Projects from stomodeum by 3rd week
  • constricts its attachment from oral cavity
  • passes through cranium and contacts infundibulum by 5th week
  • regresses from oral cavity by 6th week
24
Q

Pituitary Gland Derivation: Oral Ectoderm

A
  • hypophyseal diverticulum from roof of stomodeum
  • Tissue Type: adenohypophysis (glandular)
  • Part: pars anterior, tuberalis, and intermedia
  • anterior lobe
25
Q

Pituitary Gland Derivation: Neuroectoderm

A
  • neurohypophyseal diverticulum from floor of diencephalon
  • tissue type: neurohypophysis (nervous tissue)
  • Part: pars nervosa, infundibular stem, median eminence
  • posterior lobe
26
Q

Telencephalon Development

A
  • median part and two cerebral vesicles which become hemispheres
  • cavity forms anterior 3rd ventricle
  • hemispheres expand over diencephalon, midbrain, and hindbrain to meet in midline
  • mesenchyme trapped in longitudinal fissure becomes falx cerebri
27
Q

Corpus Striatum

A
  • appears in 6th week as swelling in each hemisphere floor
  • separates and defines caudate and lentiform nuclei (putamen and globus pallidus)
  • medial wall of cerebral hemisphere thins and joins third ventricle roof to become choroid plexus
28
Q

Holoprosencephaly (HPE)

A

incomplete separation of cerebral hemispheres with facial abnormalities

29
Q

Cerebral Commissures

A
  1. Lamina Terminalis: largest and most rostral bundle connecting hemispheres - from roof of diencephalon to optic chiasm
  2. Anterior Commissure: connects temporal lobes within hemispheres
  3. Hippocampal Commissure: connects hippocampis within hemispheres
  4. Corpus Collosum: largest commissure linking hemispheres along their length; grow beyond lamina terminalis, ant portion forms first
  5. Septum pellucidum: thin plate of brain tissue containing nerve cells and fibers; formed from rest of lamina terminalis
30
Q

Histogenesis of Cerebral Cortex

A

cerebral early zones: ventricular, intermediate, marginal
later subventricular zone appears
cortical layers: youngest neurons are outer surface and older neurons are deeper

31
Q

Lissencephaly

A
  • “smooth” brain containing pachygyria (thick gyri), agyria (lack of gyri), neuronal heterotopia (cells in abnormal places)
  • incomplete neuronal migration during 3-4 months gestation
  • infant appears normal but later develops seizures, mental deficiency
32
Q

Microcephaly

A
  • small brain and calvaria but normal face

- results from reduced brain growth and insufficient pressure from growing brain
