Frontal lobe

Associated with Attention, Motivation, Emotional social And sexual control, verbal expression, judgement, spontaneity, problem solving, decision making, motor integration, voluntary movement, sequencing

Many young male TBI patients

Temporal lobe

Short term memory, receptive language, language comprehension, musical awareness, selective attention, object categorization, locating objects, face recognition, aggressive behavior visual memory, processing auditory and visual sensory input

Gyrus

Grooves of brain

Sulcus

Valleys between gyrus

Name the four lobes of the brain

Frontal, parietal, temporal, occupital

Paraparesis

Partial paralysis of LE

Tetra paresis

All 4 limbs weak

Tetra paresis

All 4 limbs weak

Paraplegia

Complete OR incomplete LE and trunk

Neuron

Basic building blocks of brain

Neuron

Information processing units in the brain receiving and transmitting information. They have three main parts cell body, axon and dendrites

Neuron

Information processing units in the brain receiving and transmitting information. They have three main parts cell body, axon and dendrites

Neuron

Special nerve fiber carries messages can have so many branches they can carry messages to thousands. They are covered by myelin sheath. Three different types: sensory neurons, motor neuron, inter neuron

Sensory neuron

Carry impulse from sense organs to the CNS

Motor neuron

Carry messages from CNS to muscle and glands in our body

Interneuron

Connect various neurons within brain and spinal cord carries info BETWEEN motor and sensory neurons

Interneuron

Connect various neurons within brain and spinal cord carries info BETWEEN motor and sensory neurons

Meninges

Three protective layers protecting the brain and spinal cord. Dura mater, arachnoid, and Pia mater

Interneuron

Connect various neurons within brain and spinal cord carries info BETWEEN motor and sensory neurons

Three protective layers protecting the brain and spinal cord. Dura mater, arachnoid, and Pia mater

Dura mater

Outer most protective covering of brain and spinal cord

Interneuron

Front (Term)

Arteriorvenous Malformation

Front (Term)

Arteriorvenous Malformation

AVM

Collection of dysplastic plexiform vessels that is supplied by one or more arterial feeders and drained by one or more venous channels



Arteriovenous shunting occurs



There is direct communication between arterial and venous channels



Vast majority of all AVM's are located in the cerebral hemispheres only 15 o/o occur


In the posterior fossa

Clinical features of AVM

Both genders equally affected


-peak of presentation is between 20-49


- majority become symptomatic by age 50


- 50 o/o of pts present w/sx caused by hemorrhage: SAH 30o/o of cases, parenchyma line 23o/o, and IVH 16o/o, combined bleed occurs in 31o/o


- overall risk of bleed is estimated at 2 to 4 o/o per year


( increases by that much each year so as it gets older higher the risk)

Cortex

the outer layer of the cerebrum (the cerebral cortex ), composed of folded gray matter and playing an important role in consciousness.

Parietal lobe

Posterior to the frontal lobe and superior to the temporal lobe, houses the cortex for sensation, optic radiations carrying sensory input from the eyes for visual interpretation, language centers including Broca's and Wernicke's areas.

Occipital lobe

Posterior aspect of the brain on top of the tentorium responsible for vision and interpretation of visual sensory signals also contains the primary visual cortex

Basal ganglia

Group of nuclei that serves as a coordinating center for several nerve tracts including muscle movement

Limbic system

A group of nuclei and cortical structures that encode memory and regulate autonomic nervous system and endocrine function in response to emotional stimuli. Consists of Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Cingulate gurus, Hippocampus.
