00:06 So what I wanna do is I start here today. Um Actually,

00:11 should probably make sure my things working and just make sure we understand signal

00:17 or the visual transaction pathway. it's on. So, I want

00:25 to imagine for a moment that there's light. Okay, so the picture

00:29 light but we're gonna pretend there is light up there. So when there's

00:33 light, this receptor is turned on ? Or it's sorry, it's not

00:39 on. What's happening though is that have guana. Late cyclists, cyclists

00:44 constantly making so there's our guan elite constantly making cyclic GMP. I wanna

00:51 cycling GMP. We have lots of GMP inside the cell. We're all

00:54 with that. We have lots of GMP in the south, that means

00:57 have a lot of cyclic GMP to able to buy into these receptors.

01:00 channels. These are the CNG channels allow calcium and sodium to come

01:04 So when that happens, we have of calcium and have a lot of

01:07 in cell is d polarized. All . And that's our natural state in

01:11 darkness. So, we're all good that. Right. That's weird because

01:14 backwards from what we're normally used to when light comes around. What happens

01:19 is that changes the shape of that molecule from the cIS to the transform

01:24 ? When we change the shape of ligand. What we're doing is we're

01:27 changing the shape of the receptor, change the shape of the receptor we

01:30 the G protein. When we activate G protein G proteins now acting on

01:34 different enzyme. That enzyme is phosphorus so far so good. When I

01:40 on foster diasporas, phosphor phosphor jobs take cyclic GMP and desiccated.

01:46 ? In other words, it makes from cyclic GMP to regular GMP.

01:50 , just clips basically breaks the bond you're back down to normal. When

01:54 am doing that. When I'm getting of cyclic GMP, the levels of

01:58 GMP are getting lower. Right? cyclic GMP. Nothing to hold those

02:04 open. Nothing holding those channels No calcium sodium coming into the

02:09 calcium sodium coming into the cell cell polarizes. So, that's when we

02:16 back to this thing right over here I know that I jumped over this

02:20 . You know, as I'm racing the end yesterday. Right, so

02:26 this And this make sense together. heads are nodding the rest you're going

02:34 don't know what he's talking about. I'll figure it out before the

02:38 three heads are nodding. four heads nodding. Okay, all right,

02:43 I need to do I need to this slide again. Okay, so

02:46 I just described is all the stuff going on up here. Right,

02:49 you can see there's assist there's trans are open channels are closed. D

02:54 hyper polarized as a function of the polarization. What I'm doing is I'm

02:58 a neurotransmitter. That neurotransmitter is an neurotransmitter. If its inhibitory it's telling

03:04 cell downstream you're not allowed to do you're supposed to do. It's basically

03:08 on the brake and saying don't go it's pressing on the brake and saying

03:13 go, that's inhibition. That means not releasing the neurotransmitter down here because

03:18 told not to and because I'm not neuro transmitter, I'm not activating the

03:23 cell in the chain which is a cell that cell doesn't fire. So

03:27 perceive darkness, right? So that's going on when it's dark. No

03:34 there go. My brain sees dark the light. We described all those

03:41 . I'm no longer released that So I'm no longer pressing on the

03:46 . If I'm not pressing on the , what do I do I

03:51 right, try this out of You're pressing on the brake when the

03:56 goes from red to green, don't on the accelerator, just take your

03:59 off the brake. Do you Yeah that's what's happening here, is

04:04 I'm removing the brake. So now go and I'm now releasing a

04:09 That neurotransmitter is telling the ganglion cell . So I produce action potentials.

04:16 brain now proceeds or perceives light that's gist of visual transaction. Now pas

04:27 more complicated than that. Alright but our purposes today and not for the

04:32 souls who are going on to optometry and who plan on studying this for

04:38 rest of your life. There's there's types of bipolar cells, there's different

04:42 of ganglion cells and there the whole gets really, really confusing and I

04:46 want to deal with that today. just want to deal with this little

04:49 here so that you can understand the two, step two, step five

04:53 steps. What am I changing in steps now? What I want to

05:00 out also is that the system I described is very binary. Right.

05:04 mean, I'm basically saying it's on it's off. Right. And so

05:08 can imagine with lots and lots of getting from on to off would be

05:14 tiresome or quite difficult to do because would have lots of calcium and lots

05:18 sodium and to you know, get of all that calcium. And so

05:22 have to have pumps in place to kind of remove that. So very

05:26 when you see systems like this, see modulators within these systems, I'm

05:29 show you two modulators that allow us get those that on and off a

05:33 closer. So what we're looking at is in the state of darkness,

05:38 the state of light and what we associated with the guano cyclists as a

05:42 called G cap and the cap what does, it regulates how active the

05:47 the cyclist is. And so it's of its its its ability. So

05:52 kind of like a break that's acting the on the gauntlet cyclists. And

05:58 to apply the brake, what I to have I have I have a

06:01 to have to have a lot of available. So in the dark when

06:05 channels are open I happen to have of calcium inside the cells with lots

06:09 calcium inside the cells. I'm binding to that G. Cap. That

06:14 cap is now putting the brake on late cyclist. So instead of making

06:19 and tons of guano late cyclist, just making enough to keep that channel

06:25 . So when that light signal comes , what do I have? I

06:29 have to remove a lot of cyclic . Right, so I have just

06:34 to keep this open. So when phosphor diaries comes along, it starts

06:38 it very quickly. And let's just just gonna make up numbers. So

06:41 of having 100 molecules to remove, only have two molecules to remove.

06:45 it's a lot easier to get to state where this is closed. And

06:49 I can get my hyper polarization. of course when that channel is closed

06:53 hyper polarized, my calcium levels So what does that mean? I'm

06:58 longer pressing on the brake so I make up a bunch of cyclic GMP

07:03 that this can now become open. I can revert between those two states

07:10 more quickly. That kind of makes . It's like being on a

07:15 being in the middle of the I can balance it a lot quicker

07:18 move back and forth fairly quickly. ? But if I was going from

07:21 end of the seesaw to the other , it takes more time to get

07:24 to to move right, That's what is doing. It's basically bowing us

07:30 balancing us close to on and right there in the middle so that

07:34 shifting like this instead of going like so G cap is an example of

07:39 regulator that modulates how this works. place where we see calcium doing this

07:45 at the level of the channel. , again, I described the channel

07:50 being open and closed. Right cycle binds it. It's open cycle GMP

07:57 removed. Closed. Alright. But have cal module and we talked about

08:02 module in earlier, just as a a defector. And so here what

08:08 is is cal module in when it's up by calcium. What it does

08:13 it modulates the state of openness. , so it's still open. It's

08:18 not as open. Right? Think a door, right? You can

08:21 a door kind of open. Mostly all the way open, right?

08:26 basically blocked open, I guess is way you can do it. And

08:28 what this is doing is basically saying right, I'm gonna modulate how far

08:32 door is open to regulate how much these ions are actually coming in.

08:37 the more calcium that comes in, . More calcium comes in but less

08:43 I have towards binding up cyclic So again, what am I

08:49 I'm getting myself closer to that state open and close a lot faster.

08:53 if cyclo GMP has less affinity to even though I should be able to

08:59 it up further, it's like no no. Just open up just a

09:01 bit so just a little bit of can come in, a little bit

09:04 sodium can come in so that when doors start shutting they don't have to

09:09 through multiple stages of shut. It's and I'm done. So you see

09:14 I've done and I'm modulated. It's a binary system. So these systems

09:18 far more complex. And what I want you to take home from these

09:22 , these two little slides here is calcium serves as a modulator in these

09:28 at the level of the channel and the level of the quantum cyclists to

09:33 how how quick the system responds to . All right. And this isn't

09:40 only place you'll see these in the , they're all over the place.

09:43 I wanted to get to that so you understand that. So one of

09:49 things we talked about um with regard the photo receptor cells. The rods

09:54 cones. Yeah. Go ahead. . No no that's good. Like

09:59 is not binary. Right. And that's on the level of like

10:03 whole cell. What about like a I. Or no. So so

10:15 you would say is that again I'm I can't remember how many exactly.

10:19 think it's like it has four binding . I cannot remember actually how many

10:25 is. Probably says right there but cut it off. Right. And

10:28 the idea is that there's basically four of affinity. So there's a high

10:33 and then the next one the first that binds lowers the affinity and the

10:36 one lowers even further lowers even further finally to the last state it's still

10:42 but the probability of opening that. each individual channel is now responding to

10:48 availability of calcium cal module in and much is actually bound by it.

10:54 is kind of interesting. Right? mean that there's all these systems in

10:58 to kind of control this stuff so you have a greater ability to adjust

11:03 activity. Yeah. Right. So here I was basically saying just think

11:16 it. I mean the way I it is kind of like either you

11:19 a lighter you have dark so that's of an honor and off system.

11:24 . So well this is but what saying is we didn't describe it.

11:28 here now what we've done is we've our binary system of basically the system

11:34 turned off here now it's turned And what are we doing is we're

11:38 the degree of excitement by the availability the calcium. Right? So it's

11:44 easier to move from here to here I don't have to get rid of

11:47 that uh cyclic GMP is really what is. Right, I only have

11:52 couple of molecules in other words, about trying to empty this room.

11:55 are about 120 of us. Probably 80 of you in here right

11:58 Alright. Right. So to get of all of you, each one

12:03 you have to have to leave the . Right? But what if we

12:06 able to get rid of most of before we started telling you to get

12:10 of you? It would be easier get you out of the room.

12:14 would be easy to get you back the room if I'm basically tilting with

12:17 people. Right? It's a terrible , but at least you guys are

12:21 who can recognize numbers. So. , so that's what we're going on

12:28 . Alright, so, dark adaptation to do with really the um ability

12:34 our eyes to see in varying degrees light and it's the result of both

12:39 rods and the cones. So what said is that cones primarily play a

12:43 in day vision, rods play a role in night vision that they are

12:49 rods are very sensitive to two photons cones take are less sensitive. All

12:56 . And that we also have the . The acuity comes from when the

13:00 the cones are stimulated there, right in the front and so we have

13:03 of vision, whereas the rods are of distributed on the periphery. So

13:07 kind of give us kind of a idea of what's going on. And

13:10 what this dark adaptation is is basically , look, we're adapted to be

13:16 a nocturnal and diurnal animal. I we're not technically nocturnal but we can

13:22 okay in the dark, not I mean, like I said,

13:26 you wake up in the night and have to go to the restroom or

13:28 , you can manage your way around room because you can kind of see

13:33 and that's a function of the few you get alright, this is what

13:38 referred to as co topic vision. ? So you're these are this is

13:43 dependent vision. So all you need a couple of photons of light and

13:45 enough to excite your eyes to be to see general shapes and general uh

13:52 and things, but it doesn't give a good clear view of what's going

13:56 photo topic. Vision on the other is co independent. So when you

14:00 so much light, what happens is over saturate the rods and the rods

14:06 bleached out? And so now you're that point where the cones are being

14:11 and so now your day vision is of taking over. All right,

14:15 think about right now this room is of dark. I'm staring straight into

14:19 bright light, but when you go it's really bright. Right? And

14:23 what you've done is you've basically bleached all your rods And now only your

14:26 are kind of functioning there over the are overwhelmed and so they're basically dealing

14:32 and that's this dark adaptation. so when it's dark, right,

14:37 cones aren't quite so stimulated. Things kind of bleached or not bleached out

14:43 kind of fuzzy, kind of hard tell what things are hard to detect

14:47 because you don't have enough light to able to do that, Right?

14:52 when it's lighter and I know this a terrible example because it's just a

14:55 . It's much better when you turn on and off, colors are

15:00 Right? Why? Because my rods working faux topic sco topic.

15:08 I'm sorry. Yes, cones on left, rods on the right.

15:12 right, now, just to help understand this a little bit better.

15:16 a mythbusters that came out like 10 ago and they asked the question?

15:19 was a dumb question because it's not real question, but it was why

15:23 pirates wear a patch over there? All right. And the the question

15:28 they're asking is did they do it preserve dark adaptation, their ability to

15:34 in the dark. So you can of the other way when my when

15:37 rods are bleached, when I go a dark space, notice it takes

15:40 while for your eyes to get adapted that, to that light and then

15:45 versa. When I go from a space into a dark space, I

15:48 see squat. I probably just said twice and my brain just hiccuped

15:52 Alright, so what they wanna they think that the reason that you

15:58 pirates with the patch other than that a artistic choice is that you could

16:03 one eye up. Should do it way. Cover up one eye and

16:06 it's dark adapted, right? You're out through one eye and you're kind

16:10 viewing your bite. So here you up on dec sunny and stuff like

16:14 . But now you got to go and fight some poor sailor in the

16:18 decks. And so what do you if you went down there? The

16:21 in the lower deck would have the in the fight. So what do

16:24 do? You go downstairs? You up that you have a dark adapted

16:29 Now you can see well. All . And they actually did a huge

16:35 to see if it was true and actually did work now. Did pirates

16:39 do that though? I think that really just a artistic choice. Pirates

16:43 wear patches for that reason. But could Alright, so does faux topic

16:50 sco topic make sense. Does the of dark adaptation? It's basically I'm

16:55 use different types of photo receptors for quantities of light stimulation. That makes

17:03 . Okay, we've already talked about so I'm not gonna waste our time

17:07 what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna into how the ears work and then

17:12 last thing we deal with is we're deal with reflexes and then really how

17:16 the brain map this stuff? All . For all the things that we

17:20 looked at? So if you think it, what are we talked

17:22 We've talked about gas station and What type of things are we detecting

17:26 both those things chemicals? Good. . When we looked at vision,

17:31 were we detecting light, which is form of electromagnetic radiation. And so

17:37 what we're doing is we're shifting gears we're looking at two different receptors that

17:40 mechanical receptors. They're looking at the of things, which is kind of

17:46 because when you think of sound is movement are you listening to movement?

17:51 what you're doing is you're you're moving in the ears and it's that movement

17:57 that fluid that is going to be by the receptors. And so that's

18:02 we're actually detecting. Is that particular . And so this is our actual

18:08 that we're going to be looking at , this hair cell, the hair

18:11 is our mechanic receptor. And what gonna do is these hair cells have

18:15 them, they have these penicillium and can see them here. All

18:19 we have a penicillium on the front then on the back side we have

18:22 stereo cilia. They're all connected to other. And at the end of

18:26 of these, we have a bunch channels. And so when the hairs

18:31 bent one way or the other, gonna open or we're going to close

18:33 channels. Typically when we've been towards , we're opening the channels when we've

18:37 away. We're closing those channels. . And so here you can kind

18:41 see that they look like a bunch asparagus stacked up together. But you

18:45 see if I bend one way they're cause these channels open. They're basically

18:51 the manipulation of those steri silly that those channels open. That's the mechanic

18:55 portion. Alright. And so we're do this for two things for the

19:00 of equilibrium, which is understanding our of our head in space. We're

19:04 be using the vestibular apparatus to do . And the other is audition audition

19:09 we're looking to see what sorts of , What sort of vibrations in the

19:15 we're able to detect. We could say it's under the water, but

19:18 typically are out in air. So, this tells you what your

19:25 is, how you're moving so on so forth. This allows you to

19:28 with people around you. All So, this is trying to show

19:33 that mechanic reception. Alright. when they're not been, there's gonna

19:37 some slightly polarization. But typically what was trying to get at is as

19:41 bending forward, that's gonna open up potassium channels, fluid flows in or

19:45 , potassium flows in. That's gonna the deep polarization, right? Um

19:51 the reason for this is that the are actually backwards, and we'll see

19:55 in just a second. And then they bend out the other way,

19:58 gonna get hyper polarization. And so basically tells the cell to stop

20:02 And so we don't get a Alright, So, bending towards penicillium

20:07 , bending away from the psyllium or penicillium deactivation. So, where are

20:14 spending our time? We're in the ear. Alright. And there's three

20:18 here within this unique uh apparatus that looking at. It's right here.

20:25 right. And what we have is is the temporal bone and inside that

20:29 bone we have this structure that is bony on the inside and then there's

20:33 bunch of membranes on the inside that out the structures and the actual

20:41 All right. So in the bony of our inner ear, we have

20:46 that's called parallel. This is very to the interstitial fluid on the inside

20:51 the member member portions. And that's the red stuff is supposed to try

20:55 show you here relative to the green has in the lymph which is like

20:58 fluid. So when I said it flipped backwards, that's what I

21:01 Is that the concentrations of ions are of flip backwards to what you're used

21:06 thinking. So the three structures were in. We have the cochlear,

21:11 cochlea is the instrument. That is we're going to find the cochlear ducts

21:16 specifically the spiral organ. The spiral is what detects the movement of fluid

21:21 this indolence, That movement being caused sound waves hitting structures to cause it

21:26 move. And that's how we detect . The other two structures are the

21:32 . So this region right here is vestibule. And then you see we

21:35 a series of semi circular canals within vestibule. We have two organs.

21:39 you trickle in the sack, you'll in the semi circular canal we have

21:42 semicircular ducts. These detect motion of head. All right, and they

21:48 so in slightly different ways. So two are used for equilibrium and

21:53 This is used primarily for hearing. right. So what I wanna do

21:59 I want to start in the The vestibule has the you trickle in

22:04 actual And what we are looking at , these you trickles and pools are

22:08 are called organs. All right. have with them. I'm just gonna

22:13 you right now, there's three words are gonna sound very similar to each

22:16 . So you just gotta make sure know where they are. We have

22:18 macula. Macula is like a plate jell o. Alright, a gel

22:24 substance and embedded in this gel like . Are these little tiny crystals called

22:29 ? It's just calcium carbonate. and the reason we have these calcium

22:33 crystals embedded in this gel like substance because it gives the gel like substance

22:38 . All right. When you were high school, did you get jello

22:41 the cafeteria? No, you never jello at the cafeteria. Never

22:47 No, you are a sad, deprived generation. We always had jello

22:55 I remember having jello eating contest. were awesome. You get this thing

22:59 jello and you kind of wiggle a bit and then that was it right

23:03 to make jell o wiggle more is put things in the jello.

23:09 if you have like a great see now we're talking separate, you

23:14 , she has the jello and she the grapes and the fruits and all

23:17 other scary things in the jello and you shake a normal gel and it

23:21 like wiggle wiggle wiggle and then If you have something in the

23:24 you go wiggle wig wig and it sits there and just keep going.

23:27 this incredible amount of inertia. So can imagine calcium carbonate crystals in these

23:34 are going to have incredible inertia. when you start moving, that mass

23:40 that macula to really move now embedded your macula. So this is what

23:46 picture looks like, right? So your carbon calcium carbonate crystals, your

23:51 thing right here, that is your and look what's embedded in the

23:57 What do you got hair cells? their fancy name. Why? Because

24:02 have the penicillin, the stereo So, as you can imagine,

24:07 got these hair cells embedded in Now what's interesting is the way that

24:10 range, you can see that there's reversal line, we're not gonna worry

24:13 reversal lines right now, but it to let you know which side of

24:17 brain is being or which way you're of moving because each side is going

24:20 do the opposite. And so it's it's a way for your brain to

24:25 down kind of movement. But you imagine for a moment that if I

24:29 pulling this way, right? If start moving in that direction, the

24:33 is gonna move in this direction, because of inertia, right? You're

24:39 familiar with that, right? So you're getting a card, you press

24:41 the gas, right? Because you're , you know, you're at the

24:45 sign and you realize you know at red light and it's like,

24:48 I'm just gonna go green when it green. I've got to get in

24:51 of this person over here because I'm Houston and that's the way it

24:54 Right? So I'm gonna press on gas. What do you do?

24:57 feel yourself pressed back? All So that's basically you're feeling that inertia

25:03 body wants to stay back but the is pushing you forward and that's the

25:06 thing is going here. The macula move this way. So you can

25:10 the hair cells are being bent along the macula. So these hair cells

25:14 are on this side would basically close one on that side would open and

25:18 that that combination of movement is what be sent up to the brain to

25:22 you, hey, you're moving in particular direction. Alright. That's kind

25:25 how all this stuff works for these . All right. So, we're

25:32 primarily with linear acceleration. Alright, , I'm gonna make sure you guys

25:39 this stuff because it's been a long that you guys have probably played with

25:44 . Remember vectors? What are vectors and magnitude? If you don't remember

25:52 , you have to go back and Despicable me because who was the villain

25:58 ? And he did crime with magnitude direction. Alright. And those lines

26:06 they always show you show you It's the direction in which I'm going.

26:09 its magnitude and the direction magnitude the . All right. So that's what

26:13 want to know is we want to which way are we going? All

26:17 . So the two structures the you and it's actually the yew trickle has

26:22 cells. These stereo Celia pointing So which way is that? Which

26:27 are the health, health hair cells like this? So that means the

26:32 is sitting on top and that means hair cells are gonna be bent this

26:36 . So which way are you going ? Okay, so when you see

26:41 trickle think horizontal. Alright. And I'm not gonna ask this question,

26:46 Kenneth Seeley are pointing towards the reverse line. The sack you on the

26:50 hand has hair cells that are pointing . Which is which direction like

26:57 That means the macula sits this So it's detecting vertical motion.

27:04 so top me speeding in my That's the you trickle. Bottom

27:10 You'll that's me going up and down an elevator. All right. Or

27:14 you want to have fun with the dungeon drop. Do you remember

27:18 drops. Okay. They used to used to have astral world. I

27:22 to be able to tell that people Yeah, I remember now it's like

27:25 I have to go all the way to san Antonio go to six

27:28 Whatever fiesta texas. Maybe you've been a dungeon drop. I know where

27:34 is. Go down to chemo go to the aquarium downtown. They

27:39 one at each of those. It's tiny one at the aquarium. All

27:44 , So sexual vertical motion. You horizontal motion. Now this is a

27:51 simplified explanation. I want you to if I'm in an airplane and I

27:56 going, do I have a horizontal ? Yeah, I do have a

28:01 component. Yeah, vectors. So you understand that? It's not

28:06 solely this. You have to consider these things at the same time when

28:11 get to the semicircular canals. On other hand, what we're dealing with

28:14 angular motion. Alright, so think to physics one where you got the

28:19 thing, I don't know if you did the experiments, but you put

28:22 rock on the rope or weight on rope and you spin it and you

28:25 to calculate angular acceleration, blah, blah. Figure out what your velocity

28:29 from all that fun stuff for. haven't taken physics one. You get

28:32 do that. All right. So semicircular canal is looking at angular motion

28:39 three planes. There's three of You have one in the anterior

28:43 You have one in the post airplane then you're gonna have one in the

28:47 what's the other one I have up tonight? Let's just lateral. Thank

28:52 . Just like I always think Y. Z. It's easier.

28:55 . Y. Z. Right? so you can imagine I have this

29:00 and at the end of each loops have these ambulance and continuous structure with

29:04 vestibule. And so fluid is flowing that structure and at the very bottom

29:09 this ambulatory. Alright you see macula to at the bottom of this

29:15 We have a speed bump. And that speed bump fills up the

29:20 area and then you can see it's like a macula, it's basically a

29:23 like flap that sits in the way in that speed bump you're also gonna

29:27 a bunch of hair cells. And what it's looking for is the flow

29:31 fluid across that speed bump. That bump in the ambulance called a

29:36 So ampule a couple. A macula need to know which one goes

29:41 All right. So when I turned head for example like so I have

29:46 on each side, the angular face so so they're opposite lee faced.

29:50 so the fluid flows in the same but they're causing the cupolas to

29:56 And well if I'm turning this way had been this way couple would have

29:59 that way. And so it's the of that bend on each side.

30:03 tells my brain. oh you're turning head immediately or? Oh you're turning

30:08 head laterally. All right, so the flow of the fluid being detected

30:14 the bending of the cupola and the cells stuck in that cupola in the

30:19 pula to allow that to happen. now you want to experience this much

30:25 clearly. You can head down to Museum of Fine Arts or you can

30:29 down to um to kema boardwalk or can go to basically any place that

30:35 doing spring break and you're gonna find structures that are human gyroscopes. Have

30:39 seen these three rings? You're nodding head like you've done this.

30:44 Okay, it's just awesome. Do do a couple of shots of

30:49 your favorite beverages you have kept that and clean. They strap you into

30:54 thing and it's basically three axes. start spending you one way in the

30:57 one and they spend the next one then they spend the third one.

31:00 then you're doing this stuff and you'll to experience how your semicircular canals work

31:04 you don't throw up first. Now do have one at the Natural Science

31:09 . I don't think they let you before going in on that one,

31:12 spring break, they'll they don't So All right, so here angular

31:19 . Alright again, taking off in airplane. Which ones are working?

31:27 this one working? Is that angular ? I'm starting to go up up

31:32 this. Yeah. My head tilts its angular acceleration. What about the

31:38 ? Sorry, what about the you ? Is it gonna be uh sending

31:43 ? What about the sack? Is gonna be sending signals? Yeah of

31:46 . All three of them are working three at the same time. But

31:50 I ask you on a task which is responsible for horizontal acceleration? Which

31:54 is it gonna be? You trickle I ask about what about vertical

32:00 Which is it gonna be? And I tell you about angular acceleration,

32:03 it gonna be good? So understanding greater complexity but we're keeping our lives

32:09 . Okay that's equilibrium in a Yeah. Go ahead. I think

32:14 Yeah. Mhm. That's gonna be canals. Alright. Semicircular canals.

32:22 when you nod your heads, Which is it gonna be? If you

32:29 to guess which one is it gonna ? What's my head doing? Look

32:36 my head. Semicircular, it's rotating an axis, isn't it?

32:43 The true answer. Semicircle canals. all three of them. All

32:48 But look at the angle when I my head, my body's you recognize

32:55 you're upside down. How do you that? You're upside down. Do

32:58 think that the locals and sexual are affected. What do you think about

33:02 you think? Semicircular. Of Alright. But on the test we're

33:06 keep it simple. simple. So angles when it's an angle. I'm

33:11 asking if you know its semicircular. I'll say if you're speeding in a

33:16 , right, just picture yourself driving the highway to Galveston's. It's

33:20 Simple. You know, what would be? Okay? You get the

33:26 cords get clipped. It's not a elevator so it doesn't automatically stop start

33:33 sexual. You can ponder that on way down. Yeah. All

33:41 So there's a lot of anatomy with ear that I don't want to spend

33:44 lot of time talking. So just familiar with some of these structures.

33:48 gonna talk about them. But like external ear I'm not going to talk

33:51 just know what the name is. uh For the sake of understanding.

33:58 I don't want to waste our Alright. Just be familiar with it

34:02 so that you can kind of guide way around it. What I want

34:05 get to is I want to talk how sound moves into the ear.

34:11 so what we have is sound waves going to be captured by the

34:16 I want you to look at your ear. Look at how weird it

34:20 . Everyone hides their ears all of sudden let women are just like,

34:24 . Look at an ear. It the weirdest looking structure on your

34:29 I mean it looks like a dried . Why? And the reason is

34:36 it directs sound specifically to the external meeting or the auditory canal. You

34:43 use either of those terms or the auditory. It's actually it's not Matus

34:49 , alright. And what you're doing you're basically directing some so that travels

34:53 the tim panic membrane and then the panic membrane begins to vibrate at the

34:57 frequency as that sound wave that you're you're that is being directed by your

35:04 . Your ear doesn't change the It just changes the direction of it

35:09 that it goes where it needs to . Now. We're going to focus

35:12 in the middle ear. In the ear we have three bones and these

35:16 are called the obstacles. Not to confused with. The O'Dell lifts,

35:20 know, two words with O. the same structure is kind of confusing

35:24 . Little tiny crystals, obstacles. bones were really tiny bones, but

35:28 bones all right. The three bones learned at some point your life that's

35:32 the valley of the Incas and the peas. If you haven't heard of

35:34 those words, you probably heard the , the anvil and the stirrup,

35:38 that's exactly what those three words mean what their job is, is to

35:42 the vibrations from that tIM panic which is going back and forth,

35:46 the frequency of that sound wave hitting . And it causes the bone to

35:50 at that same frequency. And then bone amplifies the sound to the next

35:56 which amplifies it to the next one that it causes the next membrane in

36:00 order. Which is called the oval to move back and forth. So

36:05 is an amplifier, same thing that have in your car that makes your

36:09 go boom, boom, boom right to me. I don't like

36:13 All right, So you ever been a concert? You notice? How

36:20 you ever gotten right in front of marshall stack for that concert? You're

36:22 , yes, I've got them right front of marshall stack. You know

36:25 the marshall stack is? Marshall stack that big giant stack of speakers,

36:31 ? And it says marshall marshall marshall marshall stack, Okay. And the

36:37 thing they do, they come out they play that first chord and it's

36:40 wow. And you're like right loud bad for ears. So you have

36:47 reflex to actually cover up your But you also have muscles inside your

36:54 to tune the amplifier, those two are the tensor tympani and the temper

37:00 media. So what they do is wrap around those structures. And so

37:03 that loud sound comes, even though you hide it, those muscles are

37:07 little bit slower than that. And what they do is they tighten up

37:10 they cause those muscles or those bones move with less um Well with less

37:17 , I'll use that word. That's . Alright. We also have a

37:21 , you can see it here, the station tube or the auditory tube

37:26 tube is a tube that opens up the back of your throat and it

37:30 you to collaborate the pressure inside the ear with the external environment. Why

37:35 I need to do that? You ? Here play the drum, everyone

37:40 play the drum. So if you your hand on the back of the

37:43 , does it make the sound that wanted to make? What kind of

37:46 does that make? Muted a And so that's what happens when you

37:52 pressure behind a membrane. So what wanna do is you want to collaborate

37:56 membrane. You know the pressure on side. So it makes the sort

38:00 movement you need to make. In words, if I had higher

38:03 it would have less ability to So this is what allows you to

38:08 that. You're equalizing the pressure and all used to doing this right?

38:11 you ever felt like your pressure inside head is getting a little high.

38:14 what do you do? Pop your right? If that doesn't work,

38:18 can always go pop, here's that . If that doesn't work, go

38:22 a lollipop and suck on it for little bit. In fact, if

38:26 travel a lot and you have you to travel when there's lots of kids

38:31 dumdums with you because you just pass out to the parents because they'll look

38:35 you like you're the king or the of the plane and they'll just be

38:39 , thank you. You know? when you have four kids, you

38:43 about dumb numbers. Yeah. So this is a really good question

38:53 ask. Probably not the best place it. But it's a good question

38:56 ask. So up until about three four years ago, we didn't even

39:00 what tonight this was. I mean were researchers who are still trying to

39:03 out what this is and what it . It's a lower threshold in the

39:10 that are sending the signal to the cortex. So we're gonna see here

39:15 a moment where those those uh neurons located and it's basically they're firing inappropriately

39:22 sending a signal to tell your brain there's a sound being perceived. That's

39:26 it is. Which makes sense after think about it. Okay.

39:29 that kind of makes sense. It's that ringing because it's like,

39:32 I'm stimulating that particular that note. it's not, it's a cell that's

39:40 has been lowered. Yes, Yes. Well, it's yes,

39:45 noise or ringing is another way it's . Huh? Well, like I

39:53 , it's that lowering of that So what causes it to lower the

39:57 ? I don't know the answer to . Yeah. Yeah. So most

40:05 in your body are flattened until there you make them not flattened. So

40:09 you go what you're doing is you're it up and so it makes an

40:14 path. Yeah. I'm glad you asking me like this type of

40:19 That's that's something entirely different. I thought it's another hand.

40:25 Okay, so so far so good structures and what their job is.

40:31 right. So we have this oval and the oval window is opening up

40:35 the cochlear itself. Alright, so we are. You can see the

40:39 or you can see the structure of a is a snail shaped structure.

40:44 literally means snail shell snail shell. right. And so you can see

40:49 is a a slice through it. you can see that it's just kind

40:52 rotating spiraling up like so it's actually tube that goes all the way

40:58 gets to the top and then it on itself and then comes all the

41:01 back down the same direction. And what we're doing when we've expanded this

41:06 , we're looking at the tube that's up and then the tube that's going

41:09 and then the space in between them is that cochlear duct that we're gonna

41:13 interested in. Alright, so this of shows you the two moving up

41:17 and then that top picture you can of see the spiral as it's going

41:21 the way up. And then you say the beige area in between.

41:24 can see how it turns on So, if you were to follow

41:27 all the way forward it goes and it gets right up here and then

41:31 turns back and comes back down the direction. Alright, So, on

41:36 end of that tube you have the window and it goes all the way

41:40 , turns on itself. That's the crema and then comes all the way

41:43 and comes down to another membrane. the round window. So, oval

41:47 round second. All right, These have names to them. All

41:54 So, here's the official one, , vestibular, which means vestibular

41:57 Alright. And then we have the panic duct. So you can see

42:02 I have the vestibular ducked the panicked, ducked. And I have

42:05 membrane that sits at the base of coke or the vestibular duct. And

42:10 a membrane that sits at the roof the tim panic duck. And so

42:15 what defines that member nous region in that forms the cochlear duct. So

42:22 stimulator ducked the stimulator membrane in the is the cochlear duct at the bottom

42:27 the temple or the basil er And then you have the temp panic

42:31 at the bottom. So this one be called Which membrane? The

42:36 Which one is this membrane? It's tim panic, It's basil er

42:41 so you can see it like this this right here would be the

42:44 And that's what you're looking at. the cochlear duct. And this structure

42:48 here is where all the action is place. That's called the organ of

42:52 , named after the guy that discovered . All right, So here we

43:00 . We're focusing on this and inside organ of corti. You can see

43:04 there's another membrane that sits right on top end of that structure. It's

43:07 the tech tutorial membrane. This is of like that stiff diving board.

43:12 a stiffer membrane, right? It straight out. So, you have

43:16 kind of loosey goosey membrane. You another loosey goosey membrane down here and

43:20 the middle. You have this tongue structure that's kind of stiff. The

43:23 tutorial membrane. So the stimulus Bassler membrane, tech tutorial membrane on

43:27 inside and standing up in that base membrane. This is where we're gonna

43:33 the hair cells that are responsible for the movement of fluid inside the cochlear

43:39 . And what ultimately is what's used help us detect sound. So the

43:46 duct has fluid in it. It's with the tim panic duck. So

43:51 has the same fluid and then in middle we have a different fluid.

43:54 that That's that. Cochlear duct, fluid that we're gonna see there.

43:59 the hair cells are arranged in a way. We have one row of

44:03 hair cells and then we have three 123 called the outer hair cells.

44:08 inner hair cells are the cells that the sensory receptor. They're the ones

44:12 play the job of detecting the movement the fluid inside that cochlear duct.

44:19 outer hair cells, on the other , on the other hand, modify

44:22 modulate the degree of movement of that tutorial membrane. So, what we're

44:28 to see is the tech tutorial membrane gonna vibrate more frequently or less frequently

44:33 response to the activity of the outer cells. Because their hair cells,

44:38 hair portion, the penicillium are kind jammed in and stuck in that territorial

44:43 . All right. So, when territorial membrane moves, what you're doing

44:47 you're moving the actual penicillium, stereo , the nerve fibers that are associated

44:56 those hair cells form what is called spiral ganglion and that spiral gangland is

45:02 sending those signals off to the auditory . So, there's all our

45:09 So, how does this all Well, first, let me

45:12 are there any questions I know it be kind of confusing when I'm just

45:16 there throwing things at you. yeah, it's the region that's responsible

45:24 detecting sounds. So, it's just stuff right here. So this whole

45:28 is called the cochlear duct. The duct sits around the organ of corti

45:33 the organ of corti is what actually the detecting and specifically in the organ

45:38 corti. This is how it's This is their only showing you these

45:42 cells. But you can see there's there's another structure and all the individual

45:46 in there actually have names. It's because that's what physiologists and scientists

45:52 We gotta name everything. Put it the box label it, ship

45:56 you know, whatever. Alright, organ accordion, where we're gonna be

46:00 our actions. So what is what sound? We saw what lightwave

46:04 Right? It had both an electromagnetic electrical and a magnetic aspect to

46:10 Right? And so here this is like a rope being snapped. So

46:14 you think of a wave in it's just a wave. It's basically

46:18 compression and rare faction of molecules hitting other. So, like in the

46:24 is what we typically are speaking But you could go underwater,

46:28 And you can make sounds underwater. what you're doing is you're causing the

46:31 molecules to press forward. They run other water molecules and then they fall

46:37 . So you see compression and then they fall away from each other,

46:40 rare faction. All right. And that's what's going on in the air

46:44 I talk loud, What am I ? I'm increasing the intensity. So

46:49 increasing amplitude, decreasing. Got high and low notes and amplitude just tells

47:04 the loudness. So frequency is pitch measured in decibels. That's hurt.

47:12 , some intensity is decibels loudness. . And the truth is, is

47:20 at any given time any particular sound our voices making, you're actually getting

47:25 pitches being laid on top of themselves so you're actually perceiving a lot of

47:32 simultaneously. All right, But let's pretend for a moment that we're going

47:35 just deal with one note at a just to make our lives simple.

47:40 , so what is actually going So these air molecules are compressing,

47:46 off each other. And rare fact creating wavelengths and those frequencies are the

47:51 that we're actually detecting. So, we've done in this little picture,

47:57 little cartoon is we've unwound the cochlear . So much easier to see the

48:04 . So you can see that top the vestibular duct, you can see

48:08 it turns on itself. And then can see how it comes back around

48:12 the uh tim panic duck and ends here at the round window. So

48:16 have oval window, round window, duck, and tim panic duck.

48:21 each sound you hear has a wavelength is an actual distance. And what

48:27 picture does a terrible job of is kind of makes you think that this

48:30 goes up and down multiple times within tube and that's not how it

48:35 You can imagine a wave is gonna in. It's gonna cause the so

48:40 fluid, right? You're gonna create of the fluid. This is why

48:43 need to amplify everything, right? you're saying I've got sound out here

48:50 I've got to make water move with same frequency. So I've got to

48:54 it because it's harder to push water than it is to push air

48:58 right? Why why would it be ? Why do you think?

49:05 Weight density is they're closer together? . I mean have you ever talked

49:09 somebody underwater? Like you know like the summer you're going swimming and you're

49:13 out with your girlfriend and you kind look at them and you do stupid

49:16 . Like say I love you but underwater. And and they look at

49:20 . No, you never did I'm the only idiot. Okay,

49:27 . I'll accept that. Again, gonna my thesis for the semester you

49:32 have lived a deprived life. So I'm doing is I'm creating that same

49:39 , but I've got to push And so that wave is going to

49:43 up and then it's gonna come down some point depending on the wavelength,

49:48 ? It's not gonna go up and onto the plant when it goes up

49:50 it comes down, it's gonna hit that looser membrane, that vestibular

49:56 And what it's gonna do is it's cause that membrane, wherever that sound

50:00 ? Whatever that length is, is to form, Right? So there's

50:07 in the cochlear duct. So, I'm deforming this membrane and there's fluid

50:11 here, what's gonna happen to this here? Let's do it this

50:17 Stand up for a second. I to tell you this is sea

50:25 I'm Shamu splash them all right, your arms out like that.

50:30 here's the vestibular membrane. Here's a panic membrane. All this is

50:36 What happens? Put your hand out that. What happened in your other

50:40 ? What happens if I push on hand? That hand gonna move?

50:44 find out. Did that hand move there? Why? Because the fluid

50:50 it move, right? He's all . So put trans out again.

50:55 if I push on this, if I push on this he

51:03 Yes, exactly. So keep your up. We're gonna do differently now

51:07 this like this make a C M. C. Backwards C.

51:14 , so look if I'm pushing here there's fluid here, what's going

51:20 They move together. You see how doing that now? Okay, now

51:25 in between those two things? He's , damn it, right, you

51:29 the tech tutorial membrane. The sectorial we said was stiff. So let's

51:32 ahead and start moving that vestibular What happens when you're moving the vestibular

51:37 ? Right? But what do we ? Sitting on that vestibular memory?

51:42 cells. So do it again. see what's going on here is now

51:48 moving the hair cells. You can a seat because those hair cells are

51:53 as in response. Because of the membrane causes the fluid in the cochlear

51:58 to move. Which causes the basal to move. Which causes the hair

52:02 to move. Which are embedded in territorial membrane, which causes them to

52:07 back and forth and open and So at the very location where those

52:12 cells are located for that particular I am stimulating those hair cells.

52:19 now look at the length of the duct, it's long. How many

52:24 play keyboards? Right? So at end of the keyboard you have high

52:31 . The other end of the you have low notes. There's your

52:39 over here, high notes. High have very, very short frequencies down

52:47 is where barry white sounds come Those are the deep low notes.

52:53 your body feel all fuzzy. So if I have a high frequency

53:00 , it's going to stimulate the cochlear . Or simply the cochlear duct.

53:05 organ of corti at the place closest the oval window as I move down

53:11 further away, I'm gonna be getting pitches. Much deeper pitches. Just

53:17 as you move your finger along the , you have the high notes,

53:21 go down to the low notes. so the sounds that we perceive are

53:27 function of the frequency of the notes we're hearing stimulating different places on that

53:35 of corti. So I'm stimulating hair over here. I'm stimulating hair cells

53:40 there. I'm stimulating hair cells over and those neurons are firing in response

53:45 that. Okay, well, I go ahead and answer your question.

53:49 ahead even. Well, what do think is going on? There's a

53:55 question. So there are there notes you can't perceive that are low?

53:59 there notes that you can't perceive that high like a dog whistle?

54:07 That's right there. Outside of the range represented by that organ of

54:13 Right? So if there if the is too high, the vibration doesn't

54:19 , that organ accordion doesn't make it if it's too low it just goes

54:23 the way around, doesn't stimulate. . Ready. Mhm. You'd miss

54:34 miss midrange, right? You can high ranges wherever you cause damage and

54:39 ears are really sensitive. People who things in their ears all the

54:42 And listening music solely through little tiny . Very, very bad. You're

54:47 gonna be deaf when you're old. gonna be sad. Of course,

54:51 listen to everything very very loud. , you know potato potato? All

54:58 , So that that energy, So when I create a wave,

55:02 that's energy. Right? And so frequency goes up because the stimulus membrane

55:06 go down because basilar membrane to go and so remember there's another tube down

55:12 full of fluid. So that fluid gonna be, there's gonna be a

55:16 that gets created down there. And this is trying to show you is

55:19 is this is that point. So just call it a midrange note instead

55:22 it going up and down to be and then down, it hits their

55:25 four, it causes that uh that dislocation, but that movement or displacement

55:32 what I'm looking for, causes displacement the of the baseler membrane. And

55:37 it's gonna do is that that sound continues all the way down to the

55:40 window. The purpose of the round is to dissipate that energy because if

55:46 was a wall, it would hit and it would echo on back.

55:49 then you pick up another sound, not what we want, we want

55:54 to just go away. So it's of like those stress dolls, you

55:57 the stress balls, you squeeze them their eyes like that, That's kind

56:00 what this is like, it just of absorbs the energy and the energy

56:04 away. So, I I really know the answer to this because but

56:25 don't Alright, I don't know if they're doing is they're replacing the coakley

56:30 or if they're actually basically causing, know, some Right? So,

56:42 essence what you'd be doing. So know the answer, how they,

56:45 they okay, go ahead. Okay. So in essence what they're

56:56 is you're getting some sort of device actually vibrates and actually detects the frequency

57:01 to what the cochlear does. Internal thing that the vibration, gotcha

57:08 it right. And that would make because trying to you know, replace

57:14 know, actually to innovate the cells would be impossible. Which is what

57:18 describing, right? But that was what you were describing. But the

57:22 of of somehow converting that signal would very very difficult. So having something

57:27 actually does the reception itself and then for that, that kind of makes

57:33 . Alright. But again, when start dealing with pathologies and stuff like

57:38 , like I don't know all malls I know what a cochlear implant is

57:42 never played with one. Alright, do we kind of get a sense

57:46 what's going on here? So it's pressure wave that affects at a specific

57:50 based on that wavelength that causes stimulation the cochlear duct at that particular location

57:56 that particular pitch is what we're So when we're dealing with questions

58:01 let me see if I'm going here . So all this is kind of

58:05 same the same thing. This is a little bit more detail. So

58:09 what I said, the outer hair are responsible for modulating really, What

58:13 doing is when they get stretched they this protein called Preston and what that

58:19 does, it kind of acts as spring and basically pulls the cell to

58:22 it compressed tighter. And what it , it pulls on the territorial membrane

58:26 creates flow in that little area where says the inner sulcus. And so

58:31 get this flow. So it causes hair cells, the inner hair cells

58:34 wave back and forth. So you greater stimulation of those hair cells.

58:39 that's how you get that really strong . So that's when I say they

58:44 because the fluid moving in and of may not be enough to really cause

58:48 the Preston and the outer hair cells of pulling on the territorial membrane as

58:53 being stretched as as you get that the territorial or as the base layer

58:58 moves away. It's basically saying oh want to go this way. And

59:01 it creates that force to drive the back there. So, that's the

59:06 portion. Alright. And then that gets sent along the auditory fibers to

59:13 auditory cortex and let's see what else I have here? Uh Just mentioned

59:19 already, The pressure wave round window . That pressure wave gets dissipated.

59:25 you're basically moving in one direction all time. All right, so with

59:33 to amplitude, what are we Well amplitude, remember is loudness and

59:40 at the same pitch you can have a C. Note. It could

59:42 a very very loud C note or a very soft C note. And

59:45 what you're doing is you're getting greater at that particular location. And so

59:53 result is more action potentials. So action potentials are how we encode strength

60:00 terms of frequency that just tells you you're being stimulated. So once again

60:04 unwound it, you can see here they're actually different thickness and width within

60:11 cochlear to and so down here it easier from from uh those deeper sound

60:18 up here it vibrates only in response the low waves but that's really all

60:23 is. So wherever I'm stimulating that's I know what frequency, what pitch

60:29 actually detecting and what we're gonna see a little bit is that our temporal

60:36 the auditory cortex is organized similarly to this is organized. So that when

60:41 look at the temporal lobe it's like notes versus low notes along the

60:47 Oh yeah. So there we go we doing on time. I actually

60:50 actually on time for a change. man we're gonna end this on

60:55 This is I just said that so just screwed myself didn't. Alright so

61:00 I wanna do now is I want shift away from these five special senses

61:04 what I wanna do is I just to talk generally about what circuits

61:07 So remember circuit is simply the interconnection different neurons. So it's a network

61:12 neurons. All right. So we local circuits. These local circuits are

61:17 in that specific region. And what doing is they're receiving input and and

61:21 sending output to different other regions. they can be from far away or

61:25 can be near. But really a is located in that particular area and

61:30 there's such things as microcircuits which we want to get into. And so

61:33 want to just kind of show you example. There's two examples I want

61:36 show you of local circuits. So we are. What structure is this

61:42 cord? So for every circuit you have an input you're gonna have an

61:45 . You're gonna have a processing So inputs in this case can be

61:49 different fibers that can be descending fibers from the higher regions of the of

61:55 brain or from the central nervous right? You can come from different

62:00 . It's not showing it here. you can imagine coming from different regions

62:04 the spinal cord and what you're gonna is you're gonna process here at the

62:08 of inter neurons. If I haven't the word interneuron before. What do

62:12 think it means between the neuron? . So there you go. So

62:15 between the parents and the parents. right. And so their job is

62:18 process this information. They can be , They could be inhibitory in nature

62:23 then the output is going to be sort of motor neuron in this particular

62:27 . All right. So you can I'm taking information in. I'm deciding

62:31 do I do with that information. send a signal back out. That

62:35 be an example of the type of circuit. But you also have these

62:38 the higher portions of the brain as . So here what you see is

62:42 can see I have a sending fibers in. There might be really neurons

62:47 in neurons coming from other nearby Those would be examples of inputs.

62:53 , processing would be the inter So you can see inter neurons over

62:58 and then the output is gonna be fibers. They're projecting to other parts

63:02 the brain or they're projecting down through body. So they can become descending

63:06 that go to um to the spinal or ultimately down to motor neurons and

63:11 through the body. Alright, so local circuits. Pretty basic input

63:17 And processing is really what we're trying get at. Reflexes are a prime

63:25 of looking at a local circuit. you have all sorts of reflexes.

63:30 the spinal cord is primarily involved in basic reflexes but that doesn't mean that

63:35 there's not reflexes that occur in higher of your brain. Now this reflex

63:42 probably one you're probably pretty familiar Right? And I don't know if

63:46 familiar with this one shining a light and I will cause it to

63:50 So that's another example of a And so what is? It's basically

63:55 . It's always pre programmed. It's , you can't control it and it's

64:00 be a muscle or gland to some of specific stimulus. And so if

64:04 not sure what those words are, is some sort of sensory input,

64:09 ? So if you're looking at it's gonna be light. If you're

64:12 at smell, it's gonna be chemicals on and so forth. Go

64:19 Pre programmed means it is something that body will always do. We're gonna

64:22 some examples here in just a Alright? Um Pre programmed gonna get

64:28 single time. So if you've ever that knee reflex, You cannot make

64:33 stop. I will hit your knee and over again and I will get

64:36 same response every single solitary time. , involuntary means you have no conscious

64:41 and you can't suppress it. So types of reflex basics these are unlearned

64:46 in responses. If you look at newborn baby and it can actually focus

64:50 on you and it's actually focus range about 8", right? And you

64:53 at and you give it a big smile. What's that baby gonna do

64:56 back to you? No, it's gonna cry. It's gonna look at

65:02 and it's gonna smile back. That is an innate basic reflex.

65:07 cannot that it is programmed to do . It's a mimicking program and basically

65:13 it makes you go, oh it's cute. We smile and it smiles

65:16 and we smile back and over and and over again. Alright, condition

65:21 . This is an acquired reflex. done after practicing learning. We can

65:25 about Pavlov and his dog. You remember good old Pablo and his

65:29 Pavlov had a dog. He rang bell fed the dog rang the bell

65:32 the dog ring. The bell fed dog ring. The bell didn't feed

65:36 dog. What happened? The dog him? No, you're right.

65:41 . The dog salivated because acquired the that when I hear bells, I

65:47 fed and you are just as Right? Think about all those years

65:53 being in high school when you heard bell, what does that mean?

65:58 my stuff up, Get up, five minutes to get to the next

66:01 . Right, just an example. , when you see a yellow

66:06 what are you supposed to do? up? You've been conditioned. All

66:12 , spinal reflex is very, very . We have five steps to

66:17 We have some sort of receptor, ? That receptor sends or detects a

66:25 and what it does is gonna send uh symbol or that signal through a

66:29 pathway. So it goes into the nervous system where that information is going

66:33 be processed in the integration center. that's what an interneuron serves as an

66:40 center. Once the response has been what needs to be done, that

66:44 is sent along a motor pathway called different pathway. So I'm just I'm

66:49 these words a parent and different. I was using a nice texas accent

66:54 would be different in different right? it gets kind of so A.

66:58 E. A. S. E. Is out and then the

67:02 or causes the the response. That's does creates the effect in response to

67:08 . So if it's it's a lateral that means. Is that the receptor

67:11 the effect on the same side. if I step on attack I'm gonna

67:15 my foot up right on the same . I'm not gonna lift up the

67:18 foot. If I did that that be contra lateral lateral, be

67:22 Right? But an example of contra and I use this as an example

67:26 I grab you and pull you towards , you're gonna push away from me

67:31 the other arm. That would be contra lateral reflex. Okay we're gonna

67:36 this here in just a second. mono synaptic versus polish synaptic there's a

67:45 of words on that slide. What you think? Mono synaptic means one

67:48 . So there's no interneuron you don't it So basic I don't even need

67:52 process it. I'm just gonna say this happens, I'm gonna make the

67:55 thing happen. So, an example that would be that knee jerk

67:59 right? There's not even an interneuron process what that means. It's basically

68:03 stretch. I feel extent. I the tendon being stretched. So,

68:07 I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cause muscle to contract polish synaptic just is

68:13 little bit means more complex. It you have more than one synapse.

68:17 , typically, a simple policy synaptic be this, for example, where

68:21 can see I have one interneuron. lighting myself on fire. I don't

68:25 that. So, I pulled my away, right in response. Anyone

68:29 done that in the lab Bunsen You've done the Bunsen burner. That's

68:33 worst. Yeah, don't do It's They make you wear safety

68:39 Don't they deprived lives all right. is the withdrawal. It's called the

68:45 reflex. No, they made us it too. We just didn't follow

68:48 rules. All right. But you imagine there could be more than one

68:53 because you may have things where like in a stretch reflex where you're dealing

68:59 only with the muscle that is uh , but you have to cause another

69:04 to relax the the opposing muscle, ? And that's that's kind of what

69:09 is trying to show you, is there is a nice simple reflex where

69:13 can see I'm causing uh mono But then over on the other side

69:19 using poly synaptic. And so we a much more um much more complex

69:26 . And what I'm doing is I'm that antagonistic muscle. All right

69:30 how this happens as a result of muscle spindles. All right. And

69:34 what I want to do and I talk about this and I'm gonna I'm

69:37 reserve muscle spindle and goals you tend here for today. Alright. So

69:42 easy way to think about the muscle fiber is trying to maintain the position

69:47 your muscles for whatever activities that you're to accomplish. Right? So let's

69:51 for a moment that I have a of books and you have a gun

69:54 my head and you say I want to hold your arms out, like

69:57 right, And then what you're gonna is you're gonna drop a book on

70:01 of my stack of books. What my hand's gonna naturally do? They're

70:04 go down right? But you put gun to my head and I don't

70:08 that to happen. So the reflexes bring my arms right back up into

70:11 original position and it's because of the of the stretch of the muscles being

70:17 as a function of those heavier books in and having to cause the greater

70:23 contraction to maintain my arms in the position. So that's what the stretch

70:28 through the muscle spindle is looking at degree of stretch inside the muscle to

70:33 the position of the muscle for whatever activity happens to be. All

70:38 I'm not gonna ask you about the and the extra fuel and all that

70:42 today is not the day to do . That's more of what I do

70:44 anatomy and I make them cry Alright, so that's that's the first

70:50 . The second one has to do the Golgi tendon and hear what I

70:54 is I have a detector inside the . So muscles are attached to tendons

70:58 are attached to the bone. So I want to move the bone,

71:00 pulling on that that tendon to cause to move. Now again. Let's

71:05 the books out here. I'm holding and you start stacking books on top

71:09 the books again. Gun to my and what am I doing? I'm

71:12 there maintaining maintaining it. But eventually gonna put so much weight on there

71:17 it's actually gonna cause damage. I I could literally tear that tendon

71:22 Have you ever anyone ever torn a while lifting weights Isn't that fun?

71:27 , it's not fun. It's All right. But your brain already

71:31 this. It says I don't want damage this or not. Your

71:35 Your muscles already know that the tendons know this. And so what the

71:38 tendon does is it's looking at the of stretch inside the tendon and it's

71:44 the question how much tension are we here and is it too much?

71:48 when that tension rises too high it says no we're not gonna do that

71:52 . And so it sends an inhibitory back to that muscle and says stop

71:58 . So when you put too much , what do you do? You

72:02 it? So if you've ever carried where you're like, you know you're

72:06 it and you can feel like it's too heavy and all of a sudden

72:08 are you doing? You're like you I'm gonna go put it down

72:11 But if you let's say you couldn't it down quickly, what are you

72:14 do? You're gonna naturally drop because body is protecting itself from damage.

72:20 that's the job of the Golgi Well so what happens is you you're

72:32 saying no I'm not gonna listen to . So the reflex portion is it

72:37 while you're doing? But like if sitting there trying desperately to, you

72:41 like when I did it it was I was trying to get the 200

72:44 , I think it was a two I might have been trying to go

72:46 than that at that point. This when I was in high school and

72:49 went there and I just I just it. Yeah that was ugly.

72:55 but you can see here they're showing one is inhibitory one is excitatory.

73:00 the muscle itself I'm trying to protect being turned off. Yeah stretch.

73:07 so gold. So the Golgi tendon in the tendon right, protecting the

73:13 protecting you from tearing the muscle away the bone as a result of the

73:18 and the stretch reflex. What I'm to do is maintain the shape of

73:22 bone or the muscle to do the that you're designing it to do.

73:25 holding my hand out like this is function of muscle contraction right? If

73:29 add weight to that my hand is to actually dip down in response to

73:34 weight. But I wanna hold my up here so it has to re

73:38 re decide or re establish what the contraction is in order to maintain that

73:45 . So that's what the muscle spindle doing is looking at how much stretches

73:49 versus what your intensive stretch is supposed be. Oh yeah. So withdrawal

73:56 withdrawal reflex simply was what I was in terms of a contra lateral.

74:00 If you step on attack in this it looks like I stepped on an

74:03 shell, what am I gonna I'm gonna lift my foot up but

74:07 order to lift my foot up, I want to do is keep myself

74:09 falling over, I got to put other side down and so it's just

74:13 you how it's talking to both the muscle as well as the agonist.

74:18 then on the other side doing the , talking to both the antagonists and

74:22 agonist. But one I'm I'm basically this side, I'm basically pulling up

74:26 the other side, I'm pushing down then there's two sets of muscles that

74:29 I'm playing with. But that's what withdrawal is to do that. And

74:33 same thing if I'm pulling on you your you push off, that's not

74:36 you think about. That would be withdrawal reflex as well. In our

74:44 we have central pattern generators. And they do is they basically create rhythmic

74:50 . So what are with rhythmic Things like walking, chewing, breathing

74:54 what they do is this is part as well as voluntary movement.

75:00 And so here what you have is have neurons that are basically working a

75:04 pattern, creating more and more activity that you get this reflection and extension

75:12 pattern. And so like this is you the cat. But just look

75:16 yourself when you walk, what do do? It's I'm flexing and then

75:20 extending and I'm flexing and you just of create that pattern over and over

75:24 . You don't have to think about so that's the reflexive portion. It's

75:28 I'm trying to get over there. gonna flex and extend, flex and

75:31 . Alright, so this is gonna found. These CPG s are gonna

75:35 found primarily brainstem and and higher. , breathing reflexive right until it fills

75:43 . And then what do you You relax the muscles? Do you

75:46 to think about breathing, breathe breathe out, breathe in.

75:53 You don't do that. You just it. All right. So this

76:00 an example of what something like this look like. You do not need

76:04 memorize this. Please don't memorize Just wanted to show you how you

76:07 see Here is a series of inter . Here's the excitatory, here's another

76:11 . And basically what they do is act on each other to turn one

76:14 the month and so on. So would be the inhibitory. So see

76:18 we go here. I got my potentials that I'm turned off while this

76:23 has action potentials and this is turned while I have action potentials and this

76:26 turned off so that would be how does it through a pattern like this

76:32 a circuit like that about four I'm gonna do it. All

76:40 So your brain maps all these types sensory inputs. All right. And

76:46 is doing is that it's it's doing to match more or less the kind

76:52 information that you're getting in. So example for somatic sensory, I'm gonna

76:57 a spatial map. I'm gonna basically my body and say where am I

77:00 touched? Alright. If I'm talking visual, it's like where's light coming

77:05 ? If I'm looking at auditory what , because cochlear has this range of

77:10 I'm gonna look at and pattern that temporal lobe to look a lot like

77:15 and same thing. There's chemical maps the olfactory system and as well for

77:19 gustatory system. So, if you a mad scientist, all right,

77:25 can't do this. But let's pretend could I could take the neurons that

77:28 going from one place, let's say the flavor of lime or the smell

77:31 lime and the smell of cherry. I could take those neurons and I

77:35 switch them. So every time you cherry, you smell lime and every

77:38 you smelled lime, you smell Right? Because there's a specific region

77:42 the brain that detects the chemicals that lime and that are cherry. And

77:47 mapped in your brain. All Now, when we talk about these

77:53 , and I'm gonna show you some very, very quickly understand that these

77:57 not like set in stone there. like the maps from the you

78:01 the 15th century, like this is the coast looks like. And you're

78:04 , yeah, maybe right, it's that, you can tell there's the

78:07 and the south and there's stuff in . But you couldn't actually tell you

78:11 the distance between these two places are . Number of miles or knots?

78:15 . So it's the same sort of . Very very fuzzy, very

78:20 So the somatic sensory motor cortex, can see what we have here is

78:24 pre central gyrus for the motor. I guess this is motor down

78:27 So pre central gyrus from the motor centuries in the post central gyrus.

78:32 what we have here is showing you map in terms of what is called

78:35 motor or somatosensory homunculus. It matches body shape. But does it match

78:40 exactly? Right. Does that look a human over here? No but

78:47 can see that there's order to So like for example you can see

78:50 my full body for the sense of . My feet are down here as

78:55 move along, what do I There's my hands and then finally I

78:58 to what is that? My can't see from over here. Then I'm

79:02 do my head starting up high and down to my chin. And then

79:06 I move further down I get into areas of my digestive track.

79:12 And you can see that there are that are better represented and less

79:17 So if it's better representative, what you think? Am I doing fine

79:20 coarse uh sensations? Fine. So you think it's important to know what's

79:26 your lips at all times? What you think? Yeah, I saw

79:31 . Look, you're thinking about aren't you? You're like, I

79:33 know. Yeah, it's kind of . Yeah, I like kissing.

79:36 is good. Right? But we oral creatures. We put things in

79:40 mouths all the time, Right? not particularly selective about it. Look

79:45 little Children, right? Cat, , car keys, legos. More

79:53 , right. We're tasting our environment you can imagine, you know,

79:57 out in the wilderness is not the century. We're talking before. We

80:01 well organized and you're like, I know this berry looks kind of

80:05 I don't know. This thing might sharp. It might not be

80:09 And so understanding things touching your lips tell you whether or not it's gonna

80:12 a danger to your body. So like when you eat a ghost

80:17 kind of spicy kinda hot might be . All right. You can see

80:22 motor homunculus is more or less the way it matches a pattern. So

80:26 know where that information is coming from where it's going to retinoic or retina

80:33 , it matches the pattern of the so that the information coming from very

80:39 locations your brain already knows. Oh in this portion of my visual

80:44 What's interesting is that the cortex also these types of maps for color for

80:51 and for other aspects of vision? this is a representative representative of the

80:58 of the retina but it doesn't represent the aspects to it. How am

81:01 doing since everyone's bailing on me? man. So I guess we'll get

81:06 this and then we'll do muscles, are pretty easy as well. But

81:10 you guys get get this idea here the maps so far? Okay.

81:20 . And the right to know? . No. No. So what

81:23 basically trying to show you here is on the left side your left visual

81:29 is going to be mapped the same in the right and what they do

81:33 they overlap. Which is what gives that that binoculars or that or binocular

81:39 . But outside of the crossover. ocular you too. Have a good

5999:59
