Nervous System Overview: Brain Models Available for Study

Join us on Jan. 17, 19, and 24 for 20-30 minutes after class to explore brain models and study the Organization of the Nervous System. Access online materials, including chapters 1 and 2, an illustrated atlas, and extra readings. Discover different views of the brain at different levels and divisions for a comprehensive understanding. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the complexities of the brain's anatomy!

Presentation Transcript

  1. Announcements • Pegasus server access • Books on reserve • Thebrainmcgill website • Jan 17, 19 and 24, 20-30 minutes of class end, brain models will be available as needed for students to study

  2. Organization of the Nervous System Overview of the Central (CNS), Peripheral (PNS), Autonomic (ANS), Enteric (ENS) Nervous Systems

  3. Atlas Online • connection.lww.com/products/bear/samplematerial.asp • Read chapters 1 and 2 • Read the illustrated atlas • Use chapters 3 and 4 as extra reading if needed for exam 2

  4. Views of the Brain • Link to the brain mcgill: • From simple to complex • Neurological level • intermediate level • Planes link button • Beginner level • 3D view of brain

  5. Thebrainmcgill • Link to the brain mcgill: • From simple to complex • Neurological level • beginner level • Each lobe link button • The physical brain link button

  6. Brain General Divisions • Superficial Structures • Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain Stem (midbrain, pons, medulla) • Cerebral Hemispheres, • Right & Left • Four Lobes per Hemisphere • Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, Temporal • Deep Structures Basal Ganglia and Thalamus

  7. Vocabulary • Gyrus & Sulcus • Grey and White Matter • Nuclei and Ganglia • Fissures • Anterior, Posterior, Rostral, Caudal, Dorsal Ventral, Sagittal, Horizontal, Frontal/Coronal

  8. Gyrus (gyri) and Sulcus (sulci) Gyrus=folds on surface of brain Sulcus= grooves on brain’s surface Purpose: increases surface area of the cortex so you can accommodate more neurons most developed part of brain most recently evolved part of the brain.

  9. Cerebrum • Paired cerebral hemispheres both together referred to as cerebrum

  10. Cerebral Hemispheres • Right controls left side muscle and sensory • Right involved in spatial reasoning/parallel processing • Left controls right side muscle and sensory • Left involved in logical reasoning • In most humans, right controls language

  11. Four Lobes in Each Hemisphere External surface divided into 4 lobes Frontal lobe process conscious control of movement and behavior & personality Parietal lobe processes sensory information from muscle and skin Temporal lobe is involved in processing hearing, and language Occipital lobe subserves visual systems

  12. Regional Specialization • Processing of information is segregated in specific areas of the brain and separated by function.

  13. Microscopic Cortical Organization • cerebral cortex: outer layers have gray matter with soma, synapses dendrites • Inner area has white matter=Myelinated afferent and efferent axons

  14. Nuclei Collection of neuronal somas in the deeper brain structures
