Bi 1 Session 4 Monday, April 3, 2006 What is a Brain? Introduction to neuronal circuits, neurons, synapses, non-invasive imaging, and multi-electrode recording 1 Organization of the Brain Hemispheres MRI imaging Regions PET imaging Connections Neurons Synapses 2-deoxyglucose labelling Multi-cell recordings Single-cell recordings Electrical and chemical events 2 Brain Front Back The Central Nervous System: Spinal cord 3 Function is localized to each hemisphere Roger Sperry of Caltech (Nobel Prize,1981) Sperry investigated patients whose corpus callosum had been cut to stop intractable epilepsy. The surgeries were performed by Dr. Joseph Bogen (19262005), a neurosurgeon. 4 A split-brain patient fixates on the dot in the middle of a screen. Then a picture of a spoon is flashed to the right of the dot. Language, Math, Logic Spatial abilities, Face recognition, Visual imagery, Music The visual information about the spoon crosses via the optic nerve and travels to the LEFT HEMISPHERE. The person correctly identifies the spoon verbally. 5 Now the picture of a spoon is flashed to the left of the dot. Language, Math, Logic Spatial abilities, Face recognition, Visual imagery, Music Now the visual information travels to the RIGHT HEMISPHERE. Now if the subject is asked to identify the picture, he reports seeing nothing. But, when this same subject is asked to pick out an object using only the LEFT hand, he correctly picks out the spoon. This is because touch information from the left hand crosses over to the right hemisphere - the side that "saw" the spoon. However, if he is again asked to identify the object verbally, even when it is in his hand, he cannot do so because the right hemisphere cannot "talk." So, the right 6 hemisphere is not stupid, it just has little ability for language - it is "non-verbal."

Most of these synapses form during the first 2 yr of life. Thus 1014synapses/108 s = 106 synapses/s form in a fetus and infant! 11 Chemistry is a language of the nervous system, for instance at synapses cytosol synaptic cleft cytosol receptor presynaptic terminal postsynaptic dendrite receptor transmitter molecules receptor direction of information flow 12 Electricity is a language of the nervous system Nestler Figure 3-1B Modified from Nestler Figure 3-1B 13 Intracellular recording with sharp glass electrodes 1.

The 18F nucleus decays, eventually yielding a positron which annihilates with an electron to produce a pair of g rays (photons). These travel in opposite directions. The two coincident photons intersect an array of detectors. The point of origin is on the line between the two detectors; and “tomography” is the set of algorithms that compute the point of origin from many independent events. 1st nucleus 2nd nucleus 18 A 2-deoxyglucose PET scanning experiment 1. Inject with 5 millicuries of [18F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose . 2. Repeat a list of 60 common words for ~ 32 min. The “encoding” phase. 3. Determine the most metabolically active brain areas. 4. The next day, ask the subjects to recall the words during 5 minutes. The “retrieval” phase.

Regions of increased brain activity increase oxygen use. Unknown mechanisms: during locally decreased blood oxygenation, the brain locally increases blood flow! This leads to “functional MRI”, fMRI 22 m precesses in B0 just as a top wobbles in a gravitational field Intensity 90o B1 pulse B0 z Mz yL xL experimental setup time The decay characterizes the interactions with surrounding molecules 23 Making a picture from Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data Front (high freq) Left (Phase advanced) Right (Phase retarded) Back (low freq) Composite 24 An fMRI Investigation of Emotional Engagement in Moral Judgment The experimenters used a battery of 60 practical dilemmas. These dilemmas were divided into "moral" and "non-moral" categories on the basis of the responses of pilot participants. Example of “moral” dilemma: stop a runaway train by pushing a person onto the tracks. Specific regions, Which also participate in emotion, show activity.

Action Potential “all or nothing” character of electrical excitation. 2. Rate Code Increasing stimulus intensity increases discharge frequency (without affecting the amplitude or duration of individual impulses) 3. Adaptation Neurons respond to changes in their inputs and quiet down at steady state. The brain is interested in changes, not steady state. 29 Population Coding “Within the central nervous system the events in each unit are not so important. We are more concerned with the inter-actions of large numbers, and our problem is to find the way in which such interactions can take place.” E.D.
