Lecture Outline #15 Flashcards
CNS development
ectoderm folds inward to form a hollow neural tube, central canal extends and ends expand to ventricles and are filled with CSF
3 primary brain vesicles
prosencephalon - forebrain
mesencephalon - midbrain
rhombencephalon - hindbrain
telencephalon
cerebrum, lobes
tel - cerebral functions
conscious thought processes, intellectual functions, memory storage & processing, and regulation of in-/voluntary somatic motor patterns
tel - hollow
lateral ventricles separated by septum pellucidum
tel - surface features
gyri - elevated ridges, increases surface area for more room for thought.
sulci - cleft-like depressions
lateral sulcus - separates temporal lobe from parietal & frontal
fissures - deeper grooves between lobes/regions
longitudinal fissure - separates cerebrum
transverse fissure - separates cerebrum & cerebellum
tel - hemispheres
right - sensory information, spatial relationships, artistic, creative, emotional response, self-awareness, feelings
left - language, reading, writing, speaking, logic
corpus callosum - (commissure) connects communication btw R&L brain, females = thicker and more activity
tel - frontal lobe - prefrontal cortex
emotion, motivation, new memories (short-term), behavioral regulation, sense of time, reasoning, thought-processing
tel - frontal lobe - speech center
Broca’s area - breathing/vocalization, left temporal side (97%)
tel - frontal lobe - pre-central gyrus
primary motor cortex - motor humunculus
tel - parietal lobe - central sulcus
separates parietal & frontal lobe
tel - parietal lobe - post-central gyrus
primary sensory cortex - sensory homunculus
navigation, touch, pressure, pain receptors
tel - temporal lobe
auditory cortex, petrous part of bone protects ossicles, olfactory & gustatory corticles - special senses
new memories (short-term) & language
tel - occipital lobe
visual cortex
Alzheimer’s Disease
neurological condition from genetic mutations/environmental factors. degradation of brain cells, loss of neurons/synapses, remember long-term not short-term, ventricles open up & lose surface area of gyri
senility
75% senile dementia is Alzheimer’s related, deterioration of organizational/focus tasks, memory loss (short then long term)
di - box
epithalamus - roof
thalamus - walls
hypothalamus - floor
3rd ventricle - chamber
interthalamic adhesion - middle connecting point of 3rd vent
