30 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Appraises CNS of state of the limb, body part, or cortical
condition
Mossy Fibers
Has very strong and specific influence on Purkinje
cells.
Climbing Fibers
Sends information to limb muscles
Dorsolateral Nucleus
Innervates axial muscles
Ventromedial Nucleus
Connect different segments
Prpriospinal Neurons
Head righting reflexes in response to activation of semicircular canals
Medial Vestibular Nuclei
Sends axons to axial and proximal limb muscles
Lateral Vestibular Nucleus
Originates in premotor, motor, and sensory cortex ; decussates in medullary pyramids; projects to spinal cord; many neurons make direct connections with motor neurons in later anterior horn
Lateral Cortical Spinal Tract
Originates in premotor and motor cortex; Descends ipsilaterally; Projects to bilateral reticular and vestibular nuclei to regulate medial brainstem systems; Projects bilaterally in medial spinal cord
Ventral Cortical Spinal Tract
Upper and lower limbs extended; Damage includes brainstem
Decerebrate
Upper limbs flexed, lower limbs extended; damage restricted to cerebral hemispheres; damage isn't as deep therefore prognosis is better
Decorticate
High muscle tone that is at least partially produced by hyperactive stretch reflexes
Spasticity
Non-progressive neonatal CNS disease that affects the motor system; A disorder in the regulation of muscle tone
Cerebral Palsy
The two systems that control posture ...
Reticulospinal tract and Vestibulospinal tract
Maintain gaze during head rotation
Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
Vestibular nuclei act on neck musculature through medial and lateral vestibulospinal tracts to maintain alignment with gravity
Head Righting Reflex
Stretch reflexes in neck act to maintain alignment with trunk
Neck Righting Reflex
Help maintain postural equilibrium : response to stretch of muscles spindles in neck
Tonic Neck Reflexes
Help maintain postural equilibrium: response to vestibular stimulation
Equilibrium Reflexes
Response to vestibular stimulation
Protective Extension Reflexes
Cells are activated when you do it and while watching the same thing be done
Mirror Neuron
Activated just before the primary motor cortex; planning section
Premotor Cortex
Execution stage in movement; corrects movements and initiates them
Primary Motor Cortex
Fractured somatotopy; use-dependent reorganization; cells correlated with muscle activity, but vary with kinetic and kinematic
Primary Motor Cortex
Complex Sequences; bilateral coordination; mental imagery
Supplementary Motor Area
Reaching
Dorsal Pre-Motor Cortex
Grasping
Ventral Pre-Motor Cortex
Group of nuclei in base of
hemispheres
Basal Ganglia
Eye movements
Caudate
limb and trunk movements
Putamen
