WHITE MATTER
-lies beneath the cerebral cortex and is composed of myelinated fibers
CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES
-separated by the longitudinal fissure
PREFRONTAL AREA
-responsible for goal oriented behavior, ability to concentrate, short term memory recall, and the elaboration of thought, inhibition, on the limbic emotional area of the brain

MINIMUM NUMBER OF RECEPTORS REQ FOR CNS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PNS
-two (critical point is where the impulses change directions)
WHERE ARE MOTOR IMPULSES SENT
-all are sent to the basal ganglia where they are monitored and corrected
3 DIFFERENT FIBERS IN THE CNS
-axons -
-association fibers - connecting areas of same lobe sometimes can go to another lobe but same hemisphere
-projection fibers - going up or down, (upper with lower), this is how impulses are sent from the corpus to the effectors or from receptors to the cortex
CORPUS CALLOSUM
-bundle of commissural fibers that will connect similar structures in both hemispheres
-USE THIS WHEN YOU NEED TO CONNECT SIMILAR AREAS IN DIFFERENT HEMISPHERE
NUCLEUS ACCUMBENS
-has to do with addiction and is damaged when a person is addicted
CSF PRODUCTION
-produced in the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles then goes to 3rd ventricle (which is located at the level of the diencephalon)
-lateral and third ventricles communicate through the foramen of munro--> CSF goes to the fourth ventricle
CEREBRAL AQUEDUCT
-hole that CSF goes through from 3rd ventricle to 4th
-also know as the Sylvian aqueduct
CSF FLOW
-prod in choroid plexus in lateral ventricles, through the foramen of munro to the 3rd ventricle, through the sylvian aqueduct to 4th ventricle, to spinal cord, down to subarachnoid space, and return to convexity cranium where it is reabsorbed in the villi
4TH VENTRICLE
-some CSF is produced in this ventricle
HYDROCEPHALUS (CONGENITAL)
-hole between lateral ventricles and third ventricle is blocked
COMMUNICATING HYDROCEPHALUS
-can cross from one side to the other but there is a problem with absorption or production
NONCOMMUNICATING HYDROCEPHALUS
-problem with communication (an occlusion along the way)
CSF
-produced in the ventricles
-absorbed in the subarachnoid system
-should not have protein in it
-150ml spinal fluid, we make about 500cc/day
3 VESSELS COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS THE BRACHIO CEPHALIC VESSEL
individual names
1- brachial cephalic artery (A.K.A. innomminate artery)
2- L common carotid artery
3- L subclavian artery
BRACHIAL CEPHALIC ARTERY
-bifurcates or divides into two vessels (two arches) the R common carotid and R subclavian artery
DIRECT BRANCHES FROM BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERY
-R common carotid and R subclavian
DIRECT BRANCHES FROM THE AORTA
-L common carotid artery and L subclavian artery
COMMON CAROTID ARTERIES
-go up the area of the neck near the angle of the mandible and divide into the external and internal carotid arteries
EXTERNAL carotid artery remains outside the cranial cavity and supplies the face, mouth, orbit, and the scalp
INTERNAL carotid artery remains inside the cranial cavity and continues up until it divides into the middle and anterior cerebral artery
80-85% OF TOTAL ARTERIAL BLOOD GOES TO THE CEREBRUM BY...
the anterior circulation (carotid circulation) which includes the internal carotids to the anterior cerebral arteries to the anterior communicating artery (there is only ONE anterior communicating artery)
INTERNAL MAMMARY ARTERY
-goes down and the vertebral artery goes up the posterior portion of the neck
SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY
-continues to supply the area of the shoulder and eventually the radial and ulnar
VERTEBRAL ARTERY
-originates from the subclavian artery (2 of them) they join and form one single artery the BASILAR
BASILAR ARTERY
-responsible for arterial supply to the brainstem, cerebellum, and mesencephalon --> as it nears the PONS it bifurcates again forming the R and L posterior cerebral artery --> then each cerebral artery join the ipsilateral with the posterior communicating arteries
CIRCLE OF WILLIS
-helps to shunt or move blood from one side to another and from one circulation to the other
-STRUCTURES
-R and L anterior cerebral arteries, anterior communicating artery, R and L mid cerebral arteries, R and L posterior cerebral arteries, and R and L posterior communicating arteries
SUBSTANTIA NIGRA
-dopamine is prod. here, not that you don't have enough dopamine in parkinsons it is that you have a lot of ACh
PATHWAYS FOR THE IMPULSES
first is the origin and the second is the destination
LATERAL CORTICO SPINAL TRACT
AKA pyramidal tract (crosses to another side at the level of decussation which means crossing of the pyramids
CORTICOSPINAL TRACT
-two lateral or (anterior/ventral) send impulses to reg motor activity, usually voluntary
RUBROSPINAL
-Red nucleus to the spinal cord, (red nucleus is the subcortical area) descending motor
SPINOTHALAMIC
ascending
ORIGIN post central gyrus in the sensory receptors (most of the time on surface of the body)
SENSORY NERVE FIBERS
-all have to go through the dorsal root ganglion before getting to the spinal cord
SENSORY AND MOTOR FIBERS
-are separate but they run together
FIRST SENSORY NEURON
located in the dorsal root ganglion
SENSORY TRACTS
2 synapses and 3 neurons
-2 kinds, medial leminiscus and spinal thalamic
SENSORY IMPULSES TO THE BRAIN (FLOW)
1- sensory impulse received by sensory receptor, first sensory neuron located in the dorsal root ganglion
2- --> whose axon is entering the spinal cord and dorsal horn and goes up the same side (can be two ways ipsilateral or cross here) to medulla oblongata
3- then it crosses (or crossed at the spinal cord) to the other side after a synapse --> second sensory neuron
4- The axon of the second sensory neuron will to to the thalamus --> another synapse -->
5- towards the third sensory neuron which axon gets to the post central gyrus and that is where the impulse is finally received and perceived
WHEN DO YOU START TO FEEL THE STIMULUS
when it reaches the post central gyrus
MEDIAL LEMINISCUS
fibers that grow from the decussation (crossing) to the thalamus
MOTOR DESCENDING PATHWAYS
-of one type - have upper and lower motor neuron

-cross upstairs at the medulla oblongata or downstairs (at the level of sensory stimulus at the spinal cord)
LATERAL OR ANTERIOR SPINAL THALAMIC
-first sensory neuron in dorsal root ganglia --> dorsal horn --> crosses to the other side --> goes up contralateral up to the medulla oblongata --> thalamus --> post central gyrus
