action of tensor tympani, innervation, attachment
pressure regulator; gradual accommodation of hearing; pulls malleus back off tympanic membrane; done by 5; malleus
action of stapedius, innervation, attachment
attaches to neck of stapes, reflexive adaptation, done by 7; stapedius
3 ways to transduce
air- not efficient
osseous- bone conduction
ossicular- air conduction ** most efficient
organization of tonotopic map
base- stiffest- high
apex- loose- low
bending towards kinocilium
increase K+, depolarize
bending away from kinocilium
decrease K+, hyperpolarize
phase locking- sudden stop
hyperpolarization
phase locking- sudden onset
burst of APs
ways to localize sound
interaural differences, changes in pitch and intensity
wernickes area
comprehension
broaca’s area
speech production
what connects wernicke’s and brocas?
arcuate fasiculus
auditory pathway
basilar membrane (spiral ganglion) –> cochlear nuclei –> SON (bilateral)–> lateral lemniscus–> IC –>MGN –> herschel’s gyrus ( transverse temporal lobe)
Conduction deafness
Normal responses to bone conduction, but impaired air (ossicular) conduction responses (ear infection, overgrowth of temporal bone); affects lower frequencies
Sensorineural deafness
Characterized by loss of both air and bone conduction, affecting higher frequencies most often; hair cell damage (too much loud noise)
Neural deafness
unilateral hearing loss; lesion of auditory nerve; acoustic neuroma; lesions at the level
of the cochlear nuclei or of the auditory nerve
Central deafness
normally bilateral; difficulty locating a sound on the contralateral side of the head
2/3 things required for balance
vestibular system, visual system, proprioceptive system
pathway for vestibular sensation
hair cell -> bipolar cell -> vestibular ganglion (inferior & superior***) -> CNVIII -> vestibular nuclei (lateral/medial/superior/inferior) -> MLF (ascending & descending)
vestibular ganglion –> vestibular nuclei & cerebellum –> MVST and LVST –> ventral horn cells
or MLF –> nuclei of 3, 4, 6
1* and 2* afferents of vestibular system
1*- vestibular nuclei
2* cerebellum/spinal cord/brainstem/ thalamic & cortical areas
types of eye movements
vestibulo-occular (eyes opposite head) nystagus (oscilating) smooth pursuit saccade vergence- following moving objects
provoke nystagmus
COWS (cold opposite, warm same)
differences between DCP & STT
- STT cells are post-synaptic
- STT axons cross spinal cord and then ascend
- DCP projects to thalamus; STT projects to brainstem, thalamus, reticular formation, hypothalamus
- both project contralaterally; STT has ipsilateral connections as well
hearing pathway in Dr. D’s words
Sound stimulates hair cells (receptors) of the Organ of Corti in the cochlea and impulses are carried along bipolar neurons with their cell bodies in the spiral ganglion to the dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei of the medulla (hearing).
two spinal cord enlargments
cervical- C8
lumbar- L3
3 funiculii
posterior, lateral, anterior
the thalamic nuclei: basal ganglia, cerebellum
VA/VL (ventral anterior/ventral lateral) - motor areas
the thalamic nuclei: medial lemniscus, STT (spinal)
VPL - somatosensory cortex
the thalamic nuclei: medial lemniscus, STT (trigeminal)
VPM- somatosensory cortex
brachium of the inferior colliculus
(MGN) medial geniculate thalamic nuclei- auditory cortex (transverse temporal gyri)
optic tract
(LGN) lateral geniculate thalamic nuclei - visual cortex
mammilothalamic tract
anterior thalamic nuclei (cingulate gyrus)
major subdivisions of diencephalon

what to LMNs release?
acetylcholine (onto nicotinic receptors)
motor unit
all muscle fibers innervated by a LMN
size principle
LMNs are recruited in order of size & force (S-unit recruited first)
upper motor neurons are part of which tracts
corticospinal and corticobulbular neurons
