Severson/Things Severson Would Like/Ruff (even though I think he doesn't likes her) Flashcards
subthalamic nucleus (STN) lesion
CONTRALATERAL hemiballismus
dorsal spinocerebellar tract through ________ peduncle
synapses on ________
dorsal spino cerebellar tract through INFERIOR CEREBELLAR PEDUNCLE
and synapses on GRANULE CELLS and DCN
cortico-olivary tract: IPS or CON
cortex and inferior olivary nucleus IPSILATERAL
rubro-olivary tract: IPS or CON
red nucleus to inferior olivary nucleus IPSILATERAL
olivo-cerebellar tract: IPS or CON
inferior olivary nucleus to CONTRALATERAL molecular layer and DCN (CLIMBING FIBERS)
tract through inferior cerebellar peduncle
olivocerebellar (climbing fibers)** CONTRALATERAL
*all other fibers coming in are mossy and go to granular layer
purkinje cells inhibit
DCN deep cerebellar nuclei
cerebellum input
olivocerebellar
pontocerebellar
corticocerebellar pathway (corticopontine IPS + pontocerebellar CON)
cortico-pontine tract: IPS or CON
cortex > IC > cerebral peduncle > pontine nuclei IPSILATERAL
ponto-cerebellar tract: IPS or CON
pontine nuclei > MCP > mossy fibers (and DCN) > granular layer > parallel fibers CONTRALATERAL
climbing fibers only found
from INFERIOR OLIVARY to CONtralateral MOLECULAR layer of cerebellum through INFERIOR CEREBELLAR PEDUNCLE
decorticate
SUPRATENTORIAL
red nucleus and brainstem centers intact
upper limb flexion
lower limb extension
decerebrate
POSTERIOR FOSSA
loss of red nucleus and brainstem
all limbs extension
dentato-rubro-thalamic tract: IPS or CON
DCN > SCP is IPSILATERAL
SCP > red nucleus and thalamus is CONTRALATERAL
superior cerebellar peduncle SCP
EFF have cell bodies in DCN
rubrospinal tract: IPS or CON
red nucleus > spinal cord CONTRALATERAL
contributes to flexion of upper limb
vestibulocerebellar tract associated with
fastigial DCN
MLF conects
CN III, IV, VI and vestibular nuclei
HEAD AND EYE MOVEMENTS
Area 4
precentral gyrus
BETZ CELLS
Area 17
primary visual cortex
STELLATE CELLS
horizontal component eye movements regulated by
PPRF
vertical component eye movements regulated by
rostral interstitial uncle of MLF
saccades are
BILATERAL
PPRF projects to
IPSILATERAL abducens CN VI
CONTRALATERAL oculomotor CN III
FEF lesion
loos voluntary saccades to CONTRALATERAL side
deviate eye TOWARDS side of lesion
stuck on what have INVOLUNTARILY looked at, as determined by Superior Colliculus
primary motor cortex homunculus areas are proportional to
fine motor control
M1 cortex stimulus
LOW STIMULUS INTENSITIES
hallmark
M1 encodes direction:
populations of nerves encode movement
M1 inputs
proprioceptive: CONTRALATERAL
other cortical areas (primary somatosensory, premotor, SMA, cingulate, post parietal)
cerebellum
Premotor cortex
PMd
PMv
PMd: dorsal: REACHING
PMv: ventral: GRASPING, COGNITIVE CONTROL = (MIRROR NEURONS)
PM inputs
SMA, CMA, prefrontal, post parietal, cerebellum, bg
PM fxn
high level motor coordination
complex MULTI-JOINT movements
ACTION SEQ
EXTERNALLY DRIVEN STIM
PREPARE MOVEMENTS rehearse in head move
MIRROR NEURONS see action happening, same neurons firing in your head
BEHAVIOR CONTEXT increase firing when coffee cup full than when empty (drinking coffee behavior almost done)
PM lesion
inability to:
respond to stimuli properly KNOW HOW TO BRUSH TEETH BUT CAN’T WHEN HANDED TOOTHBRUSH
plan appropriately CAN’T PICK UP FOOD FROM UNDER TABLE IN DIFFERENT WAY
learn new sensory-motor associations CAN’T LEARN “PURPLE MEANS GO”
steer arm accurately CAN’T BRUSH TEETH
SMA homunculus
ORTHOGONAL to M1 homunculus
towards eyes: face
towards back of head: legs
SMA stimulus
motion in MULTIPLE JOINTS (>M1, <PM) POSTURAL changes INTERNAL GENERATION OF MOVEMENT i will go get a coffee LEARN SEQUENCES OF MOVEMENTS MENTAL REHEARSAL
proficiency at motor sequence?
decreased SMA activity, M1 assumes control = chunking
SMA inputs
M1, prefrontal, posterior parietal, bg and cerebellum
SMA lesion
lose INTERNAL DRIVE to movements
loss of suppression of motor programs triggered by visual stimulation
1. alien hand syndrome: CONTRALATERAL
2. utilization behavior: use of objects in inappropriate setting (usually suppressed)
postural tone is managed by
alpha MNs
feed-forward adjustments
anticipatory
