NE, neurophysiological testing, biopsy 19 Spinal cord Descending pathways to the spinal cord •Lateral Pathways involved in voluntary of distal musculature movement under cortical control •Ventromedial Pathways involved in control of posture and locomotion, under brain stem control 21 Corticospinal tracts Cells in the primary motor and premotor areas of frontal lobe and in the parietal lobe, including the sensory area ↓ Posterior limb of the internal capsule ↓ Basis pedunculi of midbrain (some of the axons give off branches to red nucleus) ↓ ventral portion of pons ↓ pyramid of medulla ↓ caudal end of medulla • 85% (cross, lateral corticospinal tract) • 15% (ipsilateral, ventral corticospinal tract) 22 The regions of the cerebral cortex that give rise to the corticospinal tract MI = primary motor cortex PMC = premotor cortex SI = primary somatosensory receiving area SMA = supplementary motor area The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) does not contribute to the corticospinal tract but does modulate its activity 23 Corticospinal Tract (皮 質脊髓徑): Carries motor commands from the brain 85% decussate to lateral corticospinal tract 15% continue ipsilaterally as the medial corticospinal tract 24 Lesions of the pyramidal tract • Selective transection of monkey’s pyramidal tract ― weakness and reduced tone in the contralateral muscles and clumsiness in actions • Impairment in controlling precision and speed of skilled movements • Babinski’s response: probably due to transection of corticospinal fibers 26 Babinski’s sign absent present 27 Rubrospinal tract 紅核脊髓徑 Arises from neurons in the red nucleus ↓ Cross the midline in the ventral midbrain (called the ventral tegmental decussation) ↓ Descend to the contralateral spinal cord •Somatotopically arranged – The cervical spinal segments receive fibers from the dorsal part of the red nucleus, which, in turn, receive inputs from the upper limb region of the sensorimotor cortex – The lumbosacral spinal segments receive fibers from the ventral half of the red nucleus, which in turn, receive inputs from the lower limb region of the sensorimotor cortex 28 Rubrospinal tract • The neurons in the red nucleus are activated monosynaptically by projections from the cortex • In humans most of the efferent fibers emerging from the red nucleus terminate in the inferior olive • Ends on interneurons that, in turn, project to the dorsal aspect of ventral (motor) horn cells • Facilitates flexor motor neurons and inhibit extensor motor neurons • Lesions of the midbrain tegmentum including the red nucleus are known to elicit contralateral motor disturbances (e.g., tremor, ataxia, and choreiform activity) 29 Rubrospinal tract 30 Reticulospinal tracts 網狀脊髓徑 •Each half of the spinal cord contains two reticulospinal tracts •Axon來自於網狀 活化系統的cells Pontine reticulospinal tract Medullary reticulospinal tract 31 Ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) • Receives input from all sensory systems, and projects widely to the thalamus, basal forebrain, and the cerebral hemispheres • The crucial segment of the RAS for arousal is between the rostral midbrain and the midpons Reticulospinal tract • Pontine reticulospinal tract – arises ipsilaterally in the oral and caudal pontine reticular nuclei – Travels in the ventral funiculus – Terminates bilaterally • Medullary reticulospinal tract – Originates in the gigantocellular reticular nuclei on both sides of the medulla – Descends in the ventral half of the lateral funiculus – Ends bilaterally among spinal interneurons (lamina VII) 33 Reticulospinal tract • Controls over most movements that do not require dexterity or the maintenance of balance 34 Vestibulospinal tract 前庭脊髓徑 • Lateral vestibulospinal tract stays ipsilateral and is not bilateral – Innervates proximal and axial muscles – Controls posture and balance – Provides extensor tone to resist the pull of gravity • Medial vestibulospinal tract is bilateral and limited to cervical spinal cord segments 35 Lateral and medial vestibulospinal tracts 36 37 Other descending tracts • Tectospinal tract – From the contralateral superior colliculus • The descending component of medial longitudinal fasciculus 內側縱束 (also called “medial vestibulospinal tract”) • Interstitiospinal tract – Arises from the interstitial nucleus of Cajal and the Edinger‐Westphal nucleus – Visuomotor coordination 38 Tectospinal tract 頂蓋脊髓徑 • The neurons from which this tract arises are located in the superior colliculus 上丘 • The axons of these neurons terminate in upper cervical segments • This tract is believed to aid in directing head movements in response to visual and auditory stimuli 39 tectospinal tracts Rubrospinal tracts 40 Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (IOP) lesions involving bilateral median longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) Descending pathways to motor nuclei of cranial nerves Frontal and occipital lobes, superior colliculus, and various nuclei in the brainstem ↓ Oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nuclei • Frontal eye fields → changing the direction of gaze voluntarily • Occipital cortex → controls involuntary conjugate movements (tracking a moving object), looking at a near object (convergence) 42 Corticobulbar (corticonuclear) fibers 44 Lower motor neuron lesion Upper motor neuron lesion Upper motor neuron lesions Clinical features • Voluntary movements of the affected muscles are absent or weak • Profound atrophy dose not occur • Increased muscle tone (spasticity), exaggerated deep tendon reflex, clasp knife phenomenon, clonus • Abnormal plantar reflex 48 Upper motor neuron lesions • The superficial reflexes (abdominal reflex, cremasteric reflex) are suppressed or absent • Pathological laughing or crying (laughter or crying on inappropriate occasions, pseudobulbar signs) Systems that control the descending pathways Cerebellar circuits Contralateral neocortex ↓ Corticopontine and pontocerebellar fibers ↓ Cortex and central nuclei of the cerebellum ↑ Spinocerebellar tracts ↑ Ipsilateral proprioceptors in muscles, tendons and joints Vestibular apparatus 50 Cerebellar lesions • Errors in the rate, range, force, and direction of willed movements • Unilateral damage to cerebellar hemisphere lead to the symptoms that affect the same side of the body • Ataxia, hypotonia, and intention tremor Basal ganglia 53 Basal ganglia • Initiation, control, and cessation of all the components of regularly made movements Parkinson’s disease • Presence of Bradykinesia • And at least one of the following: – Rigidity – Resting tremor (4‐6 Hz) – Postural instability excitatory (glutamatergic) (blue arrows) inhibitory, or GABAergic (black arrows) Movement disorders • Hypokinetic – Parkinsonism • Hyperkinetic – – – – – – – – Dystonia 肌張力不全症 Athetosis
