Q

What are the derivatives (secondary vesicles, regions, and ventricles) of the prosencephalon?

A

=forebrain

  1. –> telecephalon –> cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, amygala, hippocampus –> lateral (foramen of Monro)
  2. –> diencepalon, thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary, pineal gland –> 3rd ventricle

Q

In the brainstem, where is the alar plate located?

A

Lateral to the basal plate

17
Q

What is the foramen of Luschka?

A

a pair of foramina that develop in the roof of the medulla laterally, also known as lateral aperatures

18
Q

What is the foramen of magendie?

A

A foramen medial to the foramen of luschka, also known as the medial aperature

19
Q

What are the types of Spina bifida?

A

Spina bifida occulta: “hidden”, split in bone of the spine, often just a small part of vertebrae missing in low back
Spina bifida cystica (meningocele and meningomyelocele): either the meninges protrudes through an opening causing a sac or a portion of the cord protrudes through as well
Rachischisis: spinal cord is exposed, frequently neural tissue becomes necrotic or fails to form

20
Q

What are the three cranial defects involving protrusion of the skull?

A

meningocele, meningoencephalocele (brain tissue protusion), and meingohydroencephalocele (brain tissue and ventricle protrusion)

21
Q

What is exencephaly?

A

Failure of the cephalic (rostral) neural tube to close, leaving malformed brain exposed –> necrosis

22
Q

What is hydrocephaly?

A

abnormal accumulation of CSF within the ventricular system, frequently due to blockage or narrowing of aqueduct of sylvius

23
Q

What is Dandy walker syndrome?

A

congenital abnormality of the fourth ventricle with failure of foramens luschka and magendie to form, resulting in enlarged fourth ventricle, complete absense of cerebellar vermis, and cyst formation near base of skull

24
Q

What is an arnold-chiari malformation?

A

a caudal displacement and herniation of the posterior cranial fossa structures, namely the cerebellum, through the foramen magnum

25
Q

What is microphaly?

A

a smaller than normal cranial vault normally caused by lack of brain development (Associated with Zika)

26
Q

What are nuclei and components for the midbrain?

A

Oculomotor nuclei = GSE
Edinger-Westphal nuclei=GVE
Trochlear nuclei = GSE
Mesencephalic nucle and tr. of V = GSA

27
Q

What are the nuclei and components of the Pons?

A
  1. Abducens nuc = GSE
  2. Sup. salivatory nuc = GVE
  3. Motor trigemnial nuc = SVE
  4. Motor facial nuc= SVE
    Principle sensory nuc of V = GSA
  5. Spinal trigeminal nuc = GSA
