Gross Brain Overview: Part II Basic Neuroscience James H. Baños, Ph.D. Overview Organization Morphology Developmental/Evolutionary Cytoarchitectural 3-D Orientation to Internal Structures How do we organize and characterize different parts of the brain? How do we organize and characterize different parts of the brain? Morphology Developmental/Evolutionary Origins Cytoarchitecture Function Morphology: External Features Frog Rat What’s changing? Cat Monkey Human Sulci - The “valleys” on the surface of the brain Gyri - The “Hills” The term “gyrus” is sometimes used broadly and doesn’t always refer to a single well-defined ridge on the surface of the brain. The distinctions between large gyri are sometimes better seen in coronal sections. Hemispheres Longitudinal Fissure Lobes Central (Rolandic) Sulcus Lateral (Sylvian) fissure Parieto-occipital fissure Lobes Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital Cingulate Gyrus “Limbic Lobe” Brain Stem Thalamus Hypothalamus Midbrain Pons Medulla Cerebellum: Superior Aspect Ant 2 Hemispheres Vermis Cerebellum: Posterior Aspect Anterior Lobe Primary Fissure Posterior Lobe Hemisphere Vermis Hemisphere Cerebellum: Mid-Saggital Anterior Vermis Posterior Vermis Developmental and Evolutionary Origins: The “Cephalons” Developmental Origins Three Vessicle Stage Areas of the Brain can be characterized by the embryonic origins of the tissue. Nervous system begins as a tube that differentiates into three vessicles: Prosencephalon Mesencephalon Rhombencephalon Developmental Origins Five Vessicle Stage Prosencephalon differentiates: Rhombencehphalon differentiates Telencephalon -- beginnings of hemispheres Diencephalon Metencephalon Meyelencephalon We use this terminology to describe the parts of the brain that develop from these vessicles Developmental Origins Prosencephalon (forebrain) Telencephalon (endbrain) Cerebral Cortex Basal Ganglia Limbic System Hippocampus Diencephalon (interbrain) Thalamus Hypothalamus Mesencephalon Mesencephalon Midbrain Rhombencephalon (hindbrain) Metencephalon Cerebellum Pons Myelencephalon Medulla Organization Telencephalon Cortex Basal Ganglia Limbic System Hippocampus Organization Diencephalon Thalamus Hypothalamus Organization Mesencephalon Midbrain Organization Metencephalon Cerebellum Pons Organization Myelencephalon Medulla Cytoarchitectural Organization Brodmann’s Areas QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture.
