Vagal nuclei
Nucleus ambiguus

SENSORY
Vestibulococchlear nuceli
Solitary nucleus
Spinal Trigeminal

26

27
Q

What side is more medial in the brain stem, motor stuff or sensory stuff?

A

Motor

28
Q

What is derived from the basal plate in the Pons?

A

Facial motor nucleus
Trigem motor nucleus
Superior salivatory nucleus
Abducens nucleus

29
Q

A

Edinger-Westphal
Red nucleus
Oculomotor
Trochlear

30
Q

What are derived from the alar plate in the Midbrain?

A

Superior colliculus

Interior colliculus

31
Q

Spastic Cerebral Palsy

A

Damage to CST

Scissor Gait

32
Q

Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy

A

Damage to basal ganglia

Slow snake like movements

33
Q

Ataxic Cerebral Palsy

A

Damage to cerebellum

Drunken sailor gait
Fall towards side of lesion

34
Q

Chiari Type I

A

Present in adulthood
Associated with syringomyelia
Herniation of cerebellar tonsils through foramen magnum

  • Lower cranial nerve issues
35
Q

Chiari Type II

A

Present in infancy/childhood
Associated with spina bifida (meningomyelocele)
Herniation of medulla + cerebellum through the foramen magnum
Associated with hydrocephaly - due to blockage of cerebral aqueduct
Lower cranial nerve issues

36
Q

Dandy Walker Malformation

A

Posterior fossa cyst, continuous with FOURTH ventricle

Hypoplasia of cerebellum, absence of vermis
Can also see GI/Heart problems

37
Q

Hydraanencephaly

A

Absence of cerebral hemispheres, with membranous sacs

- Big heads

Q

What is the order of cytodifferentiation of the Cerebrum?

A

Then axons grow inbetween and give rise to the intermediate zone

39
Q

Where are the 2. neurons formed in the cerebrum cytodifferentiation?

A

Middle of preplate:

Marginal Zone
Cortical Plate
Subplate

40

41
Q

What does the cortical plate correspond to?

A

A

Smooth brain due to failure of neuronal migration weeks 12-24

43
Q

Order of Cerebellum development

ITS ALL NEUROECTODERM! :)

A
  1. Ventricular cells migrate towards Pia matter
  2. External germination center migrates up and around pia
  3. External germ cells migrate back down and in to form the granular layer

A

Neural Crest
