DESCRIPTION
brain 3 main divisions of brain – hindbrain; midbrain; forebrain
Citation preview
2 divisions of the nervous system
• PNS – Peripheral Nervous System
• CNS – Central Nervous System– brain, spinal cord
brain
• 3 main divisions of brain
– hindbrain; midbrain; forebrain
hindbrain
• a number of important fiber tracts project through the hindbrain into higher brain regions
hindbrain
• a number of important fiber tracts project through the hindbrain into higher brain regions– medulla
hindbrain
• a number of important fiber tracts project through the hindbrain into higher brain regions– Medulla
• Reticular formation – NE; locus coerulus - 5-HT (serotonin); raphe nuclei

midbrain
• Sensory information
• Reward– Ventral tegmental area
• movement
– substantia nigra -
forebrain
• cerebral cortex
• subcortical structures
forebrain
• Cerebral cortex
– role of convolutions
4 lobes of cerebral cortex
• frontal

Some subcortical structures
• thalamus
The thalamus communicates with much of the cerebral cortex - serving as a sensory and motor information relay.
Some subcortical structures
• thalamus • hypothalamus
– important for hormonal release– also major DA projections
Some subcortical structures
• thalamus • hypothalamus• limbic system
– important for emotion; learning and memory; reward; major DA pathway
Some subcortical structures
• thalamus • hypothalamus• limbic system• basal ganglia
– important for movement; major DA pathway that originates at substantia nigra terminates here

Major DA pathways
• mesolimbic – reward, emotion, etc• nigrostriatal – important for movement;
Parkinsons Disease – degeneration of the DA neurons in this pathway
• tuberofundibular - hypothalamus

NE – arousal, depression, also the NT in part of the sympathetic NS
5HT – imp in sleep, depression, aggression (maybe)
basal forebrain, hippocampal, midbrain nuclei
PNS – neuromuscular junction, sympathetic ns, parasympathetic ns
