Midbrain Structure-Function Relationships
–Tectum à Superior colliculus (receives sensory info from eye), inferior colliculus (receives sensory info from ear)
–Tegmentum
•Substantia nigra (black substance) and red nucleus – control voluntary movement
MidBrain Diff.

•Midbrain Structure-Function Relationships
–Contains axons descending from cortex to brain stem and spinal cord
•e.g., Corticospinal tract
–Information conduit from spinal cord to forebrain and vice versa, sensory systems, control of movements
•Forebrain Structure-Function Relationships
–Cerebral cortex
• Analyze sensory input and command motor output
–Thalamus: Gateway of the cortex
Stick/Ball Model

•Forebrain Structure-Function Relationships (Cont’d)
–Axons from thalamus to cortex pass through the internal capsule
–Carry information from contralateral side of the body
–Axons from cortex to thalamus also pass through internal capsule
–Hypothalamus
• Control of visceral nervous system
•Differentiation of the Telencephalon and Diencephalon

–Telencephalon : Cerebral hemispheres, olfactory bulbs, basal telencephalon
–Diencephalon: Thalamus and hypothalamus

White matter Systems


Rat=Human

•Special Features of the Human CNS
–Similarities in rat and human brain
•Basic arrangement of various structures
–Differences
- Convolutions on human cerebrum surface called sulci and gyri
- Size of olfactory bulb
- Growth of cerebral hemisphere: Temporal, frontal, parietal, occipital
Human Lobes


Ventricles




Insula


























•Types of Cerebral Cortex
–Common Features
- Cell bodies in layers or sheets
- Surface layer separated from pia mater, layer I
- Apical dendrites form multiple branches

•Neocortical Evolution and Structure-Function Relationships
–Cortex amount has changed, not structure
–Leah Krubitzer: Primary sensory areas, secondary sensory areas, motor areas
–Jon Kaas: Expansion of secondary sensory areas

•Hindbrain Structure-Function Relationships
–Cerebellum: Movement control
–Pons: Switchboard connecting cerebral cortex to cerebellum
–Cochlear Nuclei: Project axons to different structures (e.g., inferior colliculus)
–Decussation: Crossing of axons from one side to the other
