Chapter 16 The Nervous System The Brain and Cranial Nerves Lecture Presentation by Steven Bassett Southeast Community College © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Introduction • The brain is a complex three-dimensional structure that performs a bewildering array of functions • Think of the brain as an organic computer • However, the brain is far more versatile than a computer • The brain is far more complex than the spinal cord • The brain consists of roughly 20 billion neurons © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. An Introduction to the Organization of the Brain • Embryology of the Brain • The CNS begins as a neural tube • The lumen of the tube (neurocoel) is filled with fluid • The lumen of the tube will expand thus forming the various ventricles of the brain • In the fourth week of development, the cephalic area of the neural tube enlarges to form: • Prosencephalon • Mesencephalon • Rhombencephalon © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Table 16.1 Development of the Human Brain © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. An Introduction to the Organization of the Brain • Embryology of the Brain (continued) • Prosencephalon eventually develops to form: • Telencephalon forms: • Cerebrum • Diencephalon forms: • Epithalamus, thalamus, and hypothalamus. © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
