Q

When Auditory becomes Visual, a thalamic role in cross-modal plasticity?

A

LGN will receive projections from the retinal ganglion cells from the optic nerve. This will drive the LGN (outside stimulus) and repel other projections from coming in.

Q

What happens with someone congenitally blind or deaf?

A

Auditory becomes Visual, a thalamic role in cross-modal plasticity

cross-modal plasticity in specific auditory cortices underlies visual compensation in the deaf

You see with the visual cortex not your eyes. You hear with your brain not your ears.

blind person has really high contrast

23
Q

Reminder of acoustic pathway:

A

Inputs for hearing and vestibular sense (CN VIII) reach the cochlear and vestibular nuclei, respectively. After entering the brainstem, the hearing pathways decussate at multiple levels. Auditory information ascends in the lateral lemniscus to reach the inferior colliculus. From there, fibers ascend via the brachium of the inferior colliculi to the medial geniculate nuclei of the thalamus, located just lateral to the superior colliculi of the midbrain. Information then continues in the auditory radiations to the primary auditory cortex.

24
Q

Auditory system entails several parallel pathways and information for each ear reaches both sides of the system even at the level of the brainstem.

A

??

25
Q

What is the function of the medial superior olive (MSO)?

A

computes the location of sound by interaural time differences

26
Q

What is the function of the lateral superior olive (LSO) and medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB)?

A

computes position of a sound source through interaural intensity differences

27
Q

List aspects of the lateral lemniscus.

A
  • contralateral side responds to sound arriving at one ear only- monaural
  • signal onset of sound regardless of intensity or frequency
  • process aspects of sound such as duration
28
Q

What is the function of the medial geniculate?

A

the obligatory relay for all ascending auditory information destined for the cortex

29
Q

What is the major thalamocortical relay?

A

the ventral division

30
Q

What is the midbrain auditory center?

A

inferior colliculus

31
Q

What is the function of inferior colliculus?

A
  • receives ascending auditory pathways via the olivary and lemniscal complexes and others that arise directly from the cochlear nucleus
  • process sounds with complex temporal patterns
32
Q

What are the division of the medial geniculate?

A

ventral, medial, and dorsal divisions

33
Q

What is the first station in the auditory pathway where pronounced selectivity for combination of frequencies are found?

A

medial geniculate

34
Q

Describe the input into the medial geniculate.

A

most input arises from inferior colliculus but some bypass the internal capsule

35
Q

The lateral geniculate nucleus is composed of six layers, numbered from ventral to dorsal. What is the ventral and dorsal pathway?

A

ventral pathway: parvocellular

dorsal pathway: magnocellular

36
Q

What kind of input and output do the parvocellular layers have?

A

INPUTS from retinal ganglion midget cells and send OUTPUTS to visual cortex layer 4Cbeta.

37
Q

What kind of input and output do the magnocellular layers have?

A

INPUTS from retinal ganglion parasol cells and send OUTPUTS to visual cortex layer 4Calpha.

38
Q

The lateral geniculate nucleus sends axons to the cortex via what?

A

optic radiation of the internal capsule

-this is known as retinogeniculostriate pathway

39
Q

What layers and functions are associated with magnocellular, parvocellular, and koniocellular pathway?

A

magnocelular: in layers 1 and 2; motion and spatial analysis
parvocellular: in layers 3-6; detailed form and color

Koniocellular project to layers 2 and 3 of the primary visual cell cortex; have the smallest cell bodies; have strong color sensitivity (stronger than parvocellular)

lateral geniculate nucleus is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway.

40
Q

Compare the receptive fields and response to stimuli of magnocellular and parvocellular.

A

Magnocellular: larger receptive fields; respond transiently to the presentation of stimuli

Parvocellular: small receptive fields; respond to sustained fashion, transmit information about color

41
Q

Auditory projections from the brainstem are going to go to the MGN and will give off chemorepulsive signals to other neurons .

Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is driven by the visual system and will receive retinal ganglion cells.

What occurs in blindness and deafness?

A
