Central Nervous System (CNS)
• CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord
• Cephalization– Evolutionary development of the rostral
(anterior) portion of the CNS– Increased number of neurons in the head– Highest level is reached in the human brain
![Page 4: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Embryonic Development
• Neural plate forms from ectoderm • Neural plate invaginates to form a
neural groove and neural folds
![Page 5: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Embryonic Development
• Neural groove fuses dorsally to form the neural tube
• Neural tube gives rise to the brain and spinal cord
![Page 8: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Figure 12.1, step 3
Neural fold cells migrate to form the neural crest,which will form much of the PNS and many otherstructures.

Embryonic Development
• Anterior end of the neural tube gives rise to three primary brain vesicles– Prosencephalon—forebrain– Mesencephalon—midbrain– Rhombencephalon—hindbrain
![Page 11: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Embryonic Development
• Primary vesicles give rise to five secondary brain vesicles– Telencephalon and diencephalon arise
from the forebrain– Mesencephalon remains undivided– Metencephalon and myelencephalon arise
from the hindbrain
![Page 13: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Embryonic Development
• Telencephalon cerebrum (two hemispheres with cortex, white matter, and basal nuclei)
• Diencephalon thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, and retina
![Page 14: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Embryonic Development
• Mesencephalon brain stem (midbrain)
• Metencephalon brain stem (pons) and cerebellum
• Myelencephalon brain stem (medulla oblongata)
• Central canal of the neural tube enlarges to form fluid-filled ventricles
![Page 15: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Effect of Space Restriction on Brain Development
• Midbrain flexure and cervical flexure cause forebrain to move toward the brain stem
• Cerebral hemispheres grow posteriorly and laterally
• Cerebral hemisphere surfaces crease and fold into convolutions
![Page 17: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Ventricles of the Brain
• Connected to one another and to the central canal of the spinal cord
• Lined by ependymal cells
![Page 23: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

cerebral hemispheres– Third ventricle in the diencephalon– Fourth ventricle in the hindbrain, dorsal to
the pons, develops from the lumen of the neural tube

Blood-Brain Barrier
1. Protects the brain from "foreign substances" in the blood that may injure the brain.
2. Protects the brain from hormones and neurotransmitters in the rest of the body.
3. Maintains a constant environmentfor the brain.
![Page 30: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Blood-Brain Barrier
• Composition– Continuous endothelium of capillary walls– Basal lamina– Feet of astrocytes
• Provide signal to endothelium for the formation of tight junctions
![Page 31: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Blood-Brain Barrier: Functions
• Selective barrier– Allows nutrients to move by facilitated
diffusion– Allows any fat-soluble substances to pass,
including alcohol, nicotine, and anesthetics • Absent in some areas, hypothalamus,
pitutary, pineal body and vomiting center
![Page 33: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The BBB can be broken down by
1. Hypertension (high blood pressure): high blood pressure opens the BBB.
2. Development: the BBB is not fully formed at birth.3. Hyperosmolitity: a high concentration of a substance in
the blood can open the BBB.4. Microwaves: exposure to microwaves can open the
BBB. 5. Radiation: exposure to radiation can open the BBB.6. Infection: exposure to infectious agents can open the
BBB.7. Trauma, Ischemia, Inflammation, Pressure: injury to
the brain can open the BBB.

Cerebral Cortex
• Thin (2–4 mm) superficial layer of gray matter• 40% of the mass of the brain• Site of conscious mind: awareness, sensory
perception, voluntary motor initiation, communication, memory storage, understanding
• Each hemisphere connects to contralateral side of the body
• There is lateralization of cortical function in the hemispheres

• The three types of functional areas are:– Motor areas—control voluntary movement– Sensory areas—conscious awareness of
sensation– Association areas—integrate diverse
information• Conscious behavior involves the entire
cortex

Types of Brain WavesAlpha waves:• 8-13 Hz• awake or resting w/eyes closed• disappear during sleep
Beta Waves:• 14-30 Hz• sensory input and mental activity
![Page 77: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)

Brain Waves: State of the Brain
• Change with age, sensory stimuli, brain disease, and the chemical state of the body
• EEGs used to diagnose and localize brain lesions, tumors, infarcts, infections, abscesses, and epileptic lesions
• A flat EEG (no electrical activity) is clinical evidence of death
![Page 80: Cerebrum Diencephalon: Medulla oblongata Pituitary](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb52152e268c58cd5cc7cd/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Importance of Sleep
• Slow-wave sleep (NREM stages 3 and 4) is presumed to be the restorative stage
• People deprived of REM sleep become moody and depressed
• REM sleep may be a reverse learning process where superfluous information is purged from the brain
• Daily sleep requirements decline with age• Stage 4 sleep declines steadily and may
disappear after age 60

Learning & MemorySensory Memory:
A sensory memory exists for each sensory channel:
• iconic memory for visual stimuli
• echoic memory for aural stimuli
• haptic memory for touch
Information sensory memory short-term memory by attention, thereby filtering the stimuli to only those which are of interest at a given time.

Learning & MemoryShort-term Memory:
• acts as a scratch-pad for temporary recall of the information under process
• can contain at any one time seven, plus or minus two, "chunks" of information
• lasts around twenty seconds.
