00:02 Everybody ready for the weekend. It's , yeah, again, I apologize

00:09 those of you who have Friday classes your schedules next semester today, what

00:16 gonna do is we're going to try finish up with the nervous system.

00:22 so we're going to be dealing with last special since and then we're going

00:25 kind of wrap up with some We're going to look at neural

00:29 for example, we'll be looking at or localized circuits, we'll look at

00:36 reflex. So we're just kind of of jamming everything here together for this

00:40 little unit. Um And what I do, uh just kind of to

00:46 you what we've been looking at. , we've been going through the special

00:49 , we kind of skipped over the special, the, the, the

00:53 of touch, you know, and on and so forth. But we've

00:56 at, um, you know, sense of smell and the sense of

01:00 and what were you detecting when we doing that? What, what were

01:05 types, what, what, what of modality are these are these particular

01:09 of senses? Chemical good, very . And then uh we just finished

01:15 the, with the eye and so eye detects what, what is its

01:21 light. And so we're dealing with reception and really, we're detecting just

01:26 small bandwidth of, of electromagnetic right. So we're now going into

01:32 different type of reception, we're going mechanical reception. And so when we

01:37 about hearing and balance, we're talking detecting the movement of something. All

01:43 , which is kind of weird because I hear things, I don't think

01:46 movement. And when I think of sense of balance or equilibrium, I

01:50 think about movement. But the types receptors that involve the hair cell is

01:54 plays a role in both of these , right? And so kind of

01:57 starting point here is going to be the hair cell. And so the

02:02 cell, this is uh an electron showing you and it looks like a

02:05 of asparagus kind of stacked up against . Uh But the cartoon I think

02:11 a better job and you can see that what you have is you have

02:14 type of specializations called asteria. They're connected to each other and they're kind

02:20 shaped in a V formation. And the front end is a kinocilium and

02:24 kinocilium is like the head stereocilium. what we can do is we can

02:29 the stereocilium one way or the other change the degree of channels that are

02:36 in this particular receptor, which will have the cell either hyper polarized or

02:41 to give us a give us a of movement relative to those hair

02:46 So if we push the hair cells way or push the sylla one way

02:50 the still the other way, and are not SIA in the sense of

02:54 what you see on bacterium or on esophagus or whatnot. This is a

02:58 that you see specifically in these cells gives you a sense of detection

03:03 of movement of something. All Now, the two types of things

03:08 going to be looking at. So see up here vesti and auditory

03:11 what we're saying is I am detecting something that is responsible for my

03:17 right? So understanding whether or not moving or not moving is really kind

03:23 what we're saying here, right? so this is going to be

03:27 equilibrium is measured or, or identified something called the vestibular apparatus within the

03:34 of the ear structures, right? then the other is what you're more

03:38 with is audition, which is And so this is going to be

03:41 in another structure inside the ear called cochlea, all right. And so

03:46 we can do with this is we detect the things and how things are

03:50 and where I'm moving relative to other as well as knowing where sounds are

03:56 from their direction and you know, things about this, about the

04:02 it allows us to communicate frankly. this is our starting point. And

04:07 I want to do is I want first deal with this question of uh

04:10 transduction. All right, because it unique to the ear. It is

04:15 the same type of mechanical uh detection we detect in the skin. And

04:20 as I mentioned already, we have Stoia they have on them, they

04:24 a series of of potassium channels and going into way too much detail,

04:30 weird about the ear is that the fluid that surrounds the structures of

04:35 ear and the fluid inside the cells the air are kind of flip

04:38 So what's happening is is potassium flows the cells and when that happens,

04:43 depolarizes. So it's backwards to what been learning previously where it's like,

04:47 when sodium moves in the cell, depolarizing. So it's kind of flip

04:51 in the ear. All right. so these channels are usually slightly open

04:56 of the way that they're arranged. so there's a slight opening, but

05:00 you bend the stereo cella towards the what's going to happen is is you're

05:06 to open up more of these they actually are causing the channels to

05:11 up physically. And that allows more to flow in. So you get

05:14 depolarization. But if you bend the cilia, the opposite direction, in

05:19 words, away from the kinocilium, you can see how they're all connected

05:22 each other. What that does is causes the channels to close. So

05:27 movement of the, of these hairs or the stereo cella on top of

05:31 hair cells are causing the channels themselves open and close. It's the mechanical

05:36 manipulation of the channels. All So these are gonna be found both

05:42 the vestibular apparatus and in the they are the things that are responsible

05:46 both of these two things that we're be talking about. So how they

05:51 is differently in with regard to equilibrium with regard to audition. All

05:57 So we're kind of jumping around because when I would give a talk about

06:02 , I'd talk about, let's talk all the parts of the ear and

06:05 not doing that. This is not anatomy class. So you're still kind

06:09 responsible for knowing the parts of the . But what I wanna do is

06:13 want to jump deep into the ear what is called the inner ear.

06:16 right. So we have an outer , we have a middle ear,

06:19 have an inner ear and this is we're spending our time and this structure

06:22 here. OK. The inner ear an actual bone. It's a structure

06:28 independent of the temporal bone and it in there and it creates this little

06:32 looking thing. If you, if say that once and you look at

06:35 , you're like, yeah, it's alien and it's stuck in my

06:38 All right. And so this bony , which is what is represented by

06:43 green is kind of the outside. inside the bony part, we have

06:47 tissue, you know, a soft structure, what we refer to as

06:51 membranous labyrinth. So on the we have the bony labyrinth on the

06:54 , we have this tissue and it's the tissue, this this membranous labyrinth

07:00 we're going to be doing the detecting both sound and for equilibrium.

07:08 the structures that are going to be on the outside from the bony parts

07:13 the cochlea. You can see the right there. Here it is.

07:16 do you think cochlea means without any knowledge of Latin or, or

07:21 ? I don't know which word it from. What do you think it

07:23 looking at this structure? Snail, is what we're looking for. It

07:28 like a snail shell, doesn't So now it even gets more alien

07:32 freaky because you look at the other it looks like a baby. All

07:37 . But this other region, these things right here is the vestibular apparatus

07:43 . So this structure hanging out here on the side. So we got

07:47 cochlea and we have the vestibular the two structures that make up the

07:51 apparatus in the vestibule. So this the region that is considered to be

07:57 vestibule. So right up there and you have the three semi circular canals

08:02 the semi circular canals sit at three . We're just gonna keep our life

08:05 and just say they're at the X Y and the Z plane. Is

08:08 OK? Is that easy for you kind of comprehend that idea Xyz,

08:13 ? They're not exactly XYZ, but you can get that. Now inside

08:19 , we said there's this membranous labyrinth well. So the hair cells are

08:24 within the membranous part. So you the hard part on the outside,

08:29 a fluid inside that that fluid is the para limb. And then moving

08:34 the membranous labyrinth is, is the . This is where we get the

08:37 flop. All right. So it's not the same sort of fluid

08:42 you'd expect everywhere else inside the we have the cochlear duct. We'll

08:47 to that. When we talk about inside the vestibular apparatus, we have

08:52 structures of interest. All right. notice we went from two structures of

08:57 , the semi circular canals to three inside the vestibule. We have the

09:02 saule, the uterus saccular are what termed otolith organs that will become important

09:07 just a moment. All right, semicircular canals have the semi circular

09:14 again, not quack, quack, like duct work. OK. And

09:18 inside these where we're gonna be having hair cells. So if are you

09:22 me in terms of the micro anatomy we're kind of dealing with? It's

09:28 , a lot of this is I to kind of visualize it even though

09:30 are terrible cartoons. So let's start the oli organs in the vestibule.

09:35 right, Their job is to look static equilibrium. In other words,

09:40 detecting a linear acceleration. Have you ever been to um an amusement park

09:47 has a uh large tower dungeon drop , right? If you haven't done

09:52 , have you ever been in a with an elevator? All right.

09:55 you ever felt yourself moving in an or when you got to the top

09:58 the dungeon drop when they let you ? Did you notice that you were

10:01 really, really fast? Right. what you're detecting is movement in the

10:06 plane? So that would be an of static equilibrium. That sort of

10:10 , linear acceleration. All right. other type. Have you ever been

10:15 a car that's going fast? Are the reason it goes fast?

10:20 good. That's, that's me as as I can get it. If

10:23 could go faster than 90 miles an on the highway, I would,

10:27 don't let me. Well, it's because other cars are in the

10:32 Anyway. So if I press on gas and actually II I like to

10:38 this story because it's stupid and because like to drag things out when I

10:43 in high school, my buddy had Mustang GT. This was back when

10:47 started making mustangs all over again. this is mid eighties. All

10:52 So just nod and go. he's old. So dinosaurs.

10:57 OK. And the claim to the Mustang GT was that it could go

11:02 to 60 in like five seconds. we were really excited about this.

11:05 we wanted to test it right We didn't do anything stupid.

11:08 kind of, we always did stuff was stupid. But all we did

11:11 he got, he wouldn't let me it. So he was like,

11:14 right, I need you just to sure that there's nothing in the

11:18 And so he looked at his watch he put his hand like this and

11:21 said, ready go. And then went and I said, OK,

11:26 been, you know, whatever. he's like how fast and I told

11:28 how fast it was. But what of acceleration was that linear?

11:35 OK. Can we time out for second? We're gonna be talking about

11:40 very simple vectors, a vector in vertical plane and a vector in a

11:44 plane. But if I'm moving as vector in say the horizontal plane do

11:48 have, do I have a vertical to myself? I see one head

11:53 . Yes. You're saying no. right. We got a debate

11:57 One, yes, one, Is there when you're dealing with

12:01 Is there always a vertical and horizontal ? Is there an X and A

12:05 component? The answer is yes. answer is yes. Right. If

12:11 moving in the X plane, do have a Y component? The answer

12:16 yes. What is my Y component ? OK. When we're talking about

12:23 , we're keeping things as simple as . OK. So I describe the

12:28 and the sale. We're just saying moving this direction, I'm moving in

12:31 direction. But when I go up hill like or in an airplane,

12:37 utricle and saccular are going to be . They both detect that kind of

12:42 because they do have a slight component the other aspect. All right.

12:48 the reason I mentioned this now is when we get to the semi circular

12:51 , we're gonna talk about linear or sorry, uh uh acceleration along

12:56 angle. So angular acceleration. All . And so I don't want you

13:00 just think that we have one for and one for the other. But

13:04 the purposes of the exam that should you all up, we have an

13:12 and an angle. OK? To our lives simple. But I want

13:17 to go on to your future knowing much more than what we're actually

13:23 . OK. So within the otolith , we have this gel like gelatinous

13:29 substance. It's called a macula. right, I'm gonna warn you.

13:33 , we have a lot of things end with la in the vestibular

13:36 Macula is the first one. The macula is basically like a tray

13:42 jello. And what we're doing with tray of jello is we have the

13:46 cells embedded in the tray of You can see up there, there's

13:50 tray of jello. You can see hair cells with their little tiny kinocilium

13:53 the stereocilium sticking up into that And then the other thing that we

13:59 in the jello is we're going to little tiny banana slices and grape slices

14:02 like grandma used to do. Did grandma ever make you jealous like

14:10 What did I say on Tuesday? need to get out more? All

14:17 . OK. You didn't get fruit your jello if I put fruit in

14:22 jello, what I, what am giving to my jello? I'm giving

14:26 mass, aren't I? So if start jiggling my jello, my jello

14:31 jiggle whether or not it has fruit it or not, right? But

14:35 I have mass in it, what's happen with that jello? It's gonna

14:39 a lot more, isn't it? going to have mass and therefore when

14:42 starts movement, it's going to have that it needs to overcome. All

14:48 . So in the macula, the are the otoliths, right? These

14:54 calcium carbonate crystals embedded inside the And what this does is it gives

15:01 macula mass. So when you accelerate , your um macula basically sits and

15:09 it begins to move backwards, And so it's that mass that allows

15:14 macula to start wiggling in the way it needs to, it bends the

15:21 . All right, you guys lived Houston long enough. How many of

15:23 have ever seen a yellow light? you could make it. And then

15:25 the last minute said, no, mind slammed on your brakes. And

15:29 you felt yourself decelerated? Right. that happening? That's the macula that

15:34 gone backwards and all of a sudden , you know, it kind of

15:36 back up to normal after the inertia then slam on the brakes. Macula

15:40 going to be in the other right. So the idea here is

15:45 in our otolith organs, we have macula with otoliths in it. And

15:49 otolith is what gives the macula mass that I can make the hair cells

15:54 one way or the other other. , up here, I have something

15:57 that is unique to this class. don't think I've ever seen it taught

16:01 any other class except for at the levels is that if you look at

16:05 macula and the way that the hair are actually arranged, they're not all

16:08 in the same direction, they actually reversal lines. So both of our

16:13 organs can actually detect movement because you hair cells that are bending one towards

16:19 one away from this reversal line. it's a little bit more complex than

16:23 I'm trying to describe is what I'm to get at. OK.

16:27 the two structures I mentioned are the and the saccule. What we're gonna

16:31 here is we're just gonna keep this , really simple with the utricle.

16:36 stereo cell are in the vertical That means they're pointing this direction.

16:39 means when they bend, you're bending way or you're bending that way.

16:43 that means I am moving in the plane. OK. So the U

16:50 detects horizontal acceleration or in English when got in that little Mustang GT and

16:57 accelerated by slamming the gas and I myself go back into the chair.

17:02 was the utricle that let me feel OK. With the saccule, this

17:08 what is used to help me feel I'm climbing up or going down in

17:12 elevator here, the macula sits in horizontal so that the hair cells are

17:20 the horizontal plane. OK? So hair cells are facing this way in

17:27 saccule, the hair cells are this . So if I'm in the dungeon

17:33 and I'm accelerating towards the ground. hair cells go this way and

17:36 if I'm in an elevator and I'm express elevator going up, my hair

17:39 bend that way, they bend in vertical direction. So I'm detecting vertical

17:47 . All right. Now again, has reversal. I'm not gonna ask

17:51 about the reversal line. I I've never asked about the rev reversal

17:54 . It's not important enough for this . The key thing here is to

17:59 when I'm dealing with the vestibular horizontal acceleration, linear acceleration, vertical

18:08 , just make sure you match them that you recognize that they have the

18:13 carbonate crystals. OK? Yes, . Yeah, please do.

18:23 So think of it like when you're the car, right? You're in

18:27 car and you accelerate. Which way you get pushed backwards? So what's

18:30 is is that your hair cells are when you go, the,

18:33 the macula is sitting initially, but the inertia pulls it backwards. And

18:38 the hair cells are being pulled this . And what they're doing is they're

18:42 towards the knoy. So the knoll pointed this direction, right? And

18:47 when you decelerated, it's the opposite , right? So far are you

18:53 me? Got one K nodding two slightly nodding heads. Where did

19:02 lose you? It's OK. You say I lost you. There's nothing

19:07 with saying I didn't get it the time. So the idea here.

19:13 in terms of direction, which way cares are bending, always bending towards

19:18 knoy to open them, to detect , the um thing. So if

19:23 going forward, the knoy have to pointing away so that the, the

19:29 moves with that. All right, that in mind, let's switch over

19:35 the semi circular canals. All semi circular canals. We said there

19:40 three of them. All right, the semi circular canals, we have

19:45 ducks. So we have this tube runs through the canal and at the

19:50 of each of the, of the circular canals inside, we have

19:55 we have a, well, we a large structure called an Aula.

19:58 remember, I promise you a lot love names. So we have an

20:00 . So it's just an Aula is an open space, right? It's

20:04 that starts off then and gets fat spaced or, or empty. And

20:09 the Aula where our duct work is , we can see that we have

20:14 speed bump. All right. So our little cartoon, you can see

20:17 speed bump right here. OK. here's the semicircular canal bump in the

20:23 off. You go around around the , this speed bump is called the

20:29 . So we have an aula and have a cupula and in the otolith

20:32 , we have a macula. All . So there's a lot of

20:36 So just make sure you put the in the right place right now.

20:41 cupula is kind of like a It's not a macula, but it's

20:45 of like one, right? You see in our little cupula, what

20:48 we have? We have hair cells into it? Do you see the

20:50 cells sticking into it? They're supposed be in there? Yeah. So

20:53 you are. Should point there. is. So I was pointing that

20:59 . It's this thing right here. here the hair cells are sticking in

21:02 . All right. What it does have is it doesn't have any

21:05 So there is no calcium carbonate crystals the semicircular canals. Instead what happens

21:12 is when you move your head, ? You have this tube, you

21:16 two that are going this way. one on each side, two that

21:19 going this way and two that are that way or really like that.

21:23 right, all the ampler are kind near each other. So whenever you

21:27 your head, what happens is is create inertia again and that causes that

21:33 inside this tube to kind of wait a second and then it spins with

21:37 head, right? And when when you start moving your head,

21:42 fluid that is has inertia basically causes copulas to bend under the pressure or

21:49 movement of that of that fluid inside tube. So our one side is

21:54 one way, the other side, going the, I mean, the

21:57 is going this but, but you think in terms of the Kia they're

22:01 so that you're detecting which side is to which side, right? So

22:05 move this way, I'm bending, say I'm bending hair cells this way

22:09 I'm bending the cupula this way this . But really what's happening is I'm

22:13 up, cup, opening up the and, and closing on this

22:17 So, on this side, it's , oh, you're moving this direction

22:21 of that pattern of activity that's being . Yeah. Yeah. OK.

22:29 in a different part. And we'll there in a second. The question

22:32 water in my ear and I get things, all stuffy. Right.

22:35 where you're gonna go with that. get there in about two minutes,

22:38 minutes, 10 minutes, depending on much, I mean, actually,

22:44 just looking at like two minutes So, what I'm detecting now is

22:49 detecting angular rotation. All right. , let's put this into something I

22:54 we talked about on Tuesday, the of the, uh, the,

23:00 three ringed. Um uh, it's a, it's a giant human

23:07 . All right. And if you've done it, you can go down

23:09 the Natural Science Museum. Pay like bucks and they let you write in

23:13 for like two minutes and then you to vomit or you can go down

23:17 , uh chema, you know, do that. A boardwalk again.

23:21 some money after a couple of minutes up or you can do it at

23:25 break where you drink a lot first then you go do it and then

23:28 get to throw up more. I presume that no one likes to

23:33 , but it's really cool. You in there and you got one circle

23:36 this way, one circle starts going way and the third one goes the

23:40 way. And so all three of make you do this. I know

23:44 , that's how I felt too. right. Now what these three semicircular

23:49 are doing? It allows you to the movement of your head in terms

23:54 angular movement. All right. So example, me saying no, can

23:59 feel my head going back and Can I, why don't you

24:05 Can you feel your head doing Yeah. What about if you go

24:09 way? Yeah, I remember I you, did you guys ever lie

24:14 on a, remember? It says a merry go round, you can

24:20 yourself spinning this way, make stuff up. Yeah. Thank so it's

24:32 inner ear issue. If you ask , what is the issue? I

24:38 know. All right now, my , like I said, is a

24:41 therapist. I think I've told you that before. Right. No,

24:44 haven't. Ok. Well, my is a physical therapist. You

24:48 something else about me. All One of the things they do to

24:52 vertigo, physical therapists can treat vertigo that they'll actually, you know,

24:57 you down and it will raise you really, really fast. And apparently

25:01 it does is it helps to re or modify these structures. How

25:07 it's more like voodoo than anything else my understanding because I asked her,

25:11 said, well, what exactly are doing? And she's like, either

25:16 haven't explained it or again, it's we're surprised this works. It's probably

25:19 said, you know, we're gonna , we're gonna try this sometime we're

25:22 see if we can make this person and then they reset it. But

25:28 point of all this stuff is that you're able to detect motion,

25:34 You can detect your own movement. think about when you run,

25:39 If you're running in a circle, you feel yourself running in a

25:43 Can you detect that movement? And what it's doing is it's telling

25:47 brain about what kind of movement you're . And probably the motion sickness is

25:53 , I'm just trying to pull pieces I remember. It's your eyes and

25:58 inner ear not matching up, In terms of the information that it's

26:04 . So that's what gets you, don't hear, get car sick when

26:06 read like you're in the car and reading, you get car sick.

26:11 , see, some of us don't how I said. Some of

26:13 every one of my kids vomit. cannot understand this. But for me

26:18 was like, I could read upside in a car and have no

26:21 My kids, they even look down they're just like, oh, I'm

26:25 be and then they throw it and still do. Yeah. Mhm

26:35 it's considered angular because of the way the, that you're moving, the

26:39 . Now you're doing the exact same I said, I said if you

26:42 like, wait a second, what I'm nodding my head? Well,

26:44 , there's not only angular mo movement , there's also linear movement. And

26:48 remember what I said is we're going back away from the complexity here and

26:52 just trying to keep it simple, ? So there is a horizontal.

26:55 when I look down so like, look, there's my feet. What

27:00 I done is I've have angular acceleration my head turns along that line,

27:06 ? But it's also, I've changed position on my head. And so

27:10 those olis are gonna be pulled with to the utricle is gonna be pulled

27:15 . And so I can detect I'm down on the test. What do

27:21 think? I'm going to ask It's gonna, what, what do

27:23 think the answer would be? What is playing the major role in detecting

27:27 looking down semi circular canals. If you're in a car going

27:32 which ones, which one is predominantly you your movement, if you're in

27:37 elevator, which one is dominant All right. That's the way I

27:43 you to learn it right now, you move on and go on to

27:47 bigger and better things and they teach the right thing. Listen to those

27:52 . They usually don't teach you much detail than that unless you're going into

27:55 field. So, are we OK these? Do we understand this type

28:00 detection that the, the thing that detecting is not the physical movement but

28:06 movement of the fluid created by the of my head. So it's an

28:11 mechanism of detecting movement of my That makes sense. I've seen a

28:18 eyebrows doing this, your eyebrows weren't that. Just let you know,

28:29 I go on or we want to ? Hearing? Yeah, hearing.

28:34 . Now again, same thing, gonna be dealing with these types of

28:38 cells right now. I want you be familiar with your ear anatomy.

28:44 right. So we got the external , we have the middle ear.

28:48 right. And you'll see as we through, I'm gonna list these things

28:51 I need you kind of to apply as we go along. I don't

28:54 to walk through all the anatomy because we do that, then we an

28:58 20 minutes talking about stuff, you get one question on. All

29:02 But what I want to do is want to jump to the middle

29:04 So sound travels from out here through outer ear. It's a sound

29:11 that wave is going to hit the membrane and it's going to go and

29:16 going to transfer to the inner ear the middle ear. And what we're

29:20 with the middle ear, the middle at uh is the best to,

29:24 describe it as an amplifier for for your inner ear. All

29:28 And the reason we need an amplifier because it's filled with fluid. The

29:32 ear is filled with fluid. All . Have you ever gone under water

29:36 tried to talk to somebody? Do you guys swim? Right.

29:43 you're telling me when you're like in school or maybe even junior high?

29:47 there was that cute I'm looking at there's mostly women in here. I'm

29:49 gonna, there's that cute guy in and you guys give googly eyes and

29:52 say you're cute. You're so I think you're pretty. I think

29:56 handsome. Did you not do that ? What do you guys need to

30:02 ? Get out more? OK. whole point of the swimming pool is

30:07 flirt with less clothes on. and we live in the Deep South

30:20 on man. All right. we got the timpani membrane. All

30:24 . And the timpani membrane vibrates at same frequency as the sound waves that

30:29 coming in. And what that timpani is associated with are these three

30:34 the malis, the incus and the you probably learned when you were

30:37 right? It's the hammer, the and the stirrup name for what they

30:41 of look like. So we go Incata. And what happens is,

30:45 the sound wave is actually amplified. doesn't mean we change its frequency,

30:50 just make it bigger. And so that is doing is it's uh presenting

30:56 sound wave in a much more powerful to the next structure. This next

31:02 is a membrane called the oval And the oval window is the membrane

31:06 separates the middle from the inner All right. And this uh this

31:12 duct work is basically going to go and around it and it's going to

31:15 back the other direction and here is it's going to empty out, that's

31:19 round window. And so the sound that energy that's going here is going

31:24 work its way all the way around ultimately end up at that round

31:28 And it's kind of like those little toys. You remember the stress

31:31 you squeeze them and the little eyes out. Basically, that's what you're

31:34 . It's like squeezing the end of balloon and the other end of the

31:37 kind, right. That it absorbs energy. So the energy is

31:41 It's not gonna keep ricocheting back and in the tube. All right.

31:45 , we haven't even gotten there We're just looking at structure. Answer

31:48 question. All right. When my get all stuffed up, what's going

31:52 ? Well, that really has to with the Eustachian tube. The eus

31:55 connects the middle ear so you can it right there and it comes down

31:59 opens up into the back of your . All right. And so when

32:03 ears get all cloy and hard, happens? It's hard to hear

32:08 isn't it? And the reason for is because the pressure has built up

32:12 the middle ear. And so the doesn't move quite as well because the

32:18 is preventing the vibration of those So what do we do? We

32:25 our ears good. That's one way can do it, you can go

32:28 blow and that creates pressure that opens the tube so that you get equilibrate

32:35 here, done any sort of um I was gonna say Timy, but

32:41 not what it's just percussion work. , any percussionists. No. So

32:46 you bang on a drum on one , you get a nice sound,

32:49 ? But if you put your hand the other side, on the other

32:52 of that membrane and start beating on drum. What does it sound

32:55 Look, look, look, you don't get the vibrations. So

32:58 kind of what the pressure is doing that's why everything sounds so stuffy.

33:04 . Now, were you asking about in my ear when I go

33:08 So, what's going on there? , you have wax in your ear

33:11 so water kind of builds up there prevents the sound waves from causing tipa

33:17 . And then of course, the is even worse because it, it

33:20 water, right. So it gets there. And so you have to

33:23 there and put a cotton ball on ear. Q tip. Small cricket

33:30 teasing. Don't put crickets in the . All right. So that's what

33:35 to it allows you to equalize the . Um, you can blow your

33:39 like that, you can go like and if you're really, really

33:43 you can suck on something. So you're ever flying and you have

33:46 like for those, you are going interviews and stuff and you're flying places

33:49 you need to put up, make kids shut up, travel with dumb

33:54 . You know, those little tiny give them to the parents, especially

33:58 they're young parents say this is for kid. And if they're like,

34:02 , my child is sugar free and like the rest of us want you

34:04 have this kid sucking on that The kid will suck on it because

34:08 sugar and it will cause your ears pop and they'll be happy.

34:13 All right. That's, that's my advice. All right. So here

34:18 are, we're in a Cochlea. remember Ar Cochlea is the snails shelf

34:23 thing. If you look at it the side, you can see it's

34:26 a spiral that goes up. And this is what you're looking at,

34:30 goes up and then it comes and . And really what we have is

34:34 have a couple of different tubes. have really doing a really poor job

34:38 you here. So, what we is we have an upper tube that

34:43 all the way up, reaches the , the apex turns on itself and

34:47 comes all the way back down and the other half of it. All

34:50 . So we have the uh the duct and we have the timpani

34:57 Those are the two names for So on the way up, it's

35:00 vestibular duct turns on itself, comes down and it becomes the timpani duct

35:05 between them. This is the ness uh labyrinth, the membranous labyrinth forms

35:13 is called the cochlear duct and this where we're going to spend our

35:19 Ok. So the way you can about it is sound goes in via

35:24 oval window, it travels up through vestibular duct goes all the way up

35:29 round, round up and then turns on itself and comes back down this

35:33 and in between. So the space this is trying to represent there is

35:37 cochlear duct, this is a side of what you're looking at of all

35:42 . And here it is us focus in. So just to make sure

35:47 understand where we are oval windows over , sound wave goes this way travels

35:53 the way up, travels all the back down. And right here would

35:56 the round window. So you can we have a couple of membranes in

36:02 way. All right, the floor the vestibular duct is called the vestibular

36:09 , not too hard, the roof the timpani membrane. So that's the

36:14 , right vestibular membrane, the roof this duct is the basilar membrane.

36:21 you can think of it. The way if I'm looking at the cochlear

36:24 , I have the vestibular membrane as roof. I have the basal membrane

36:28 my floor. And the work that gonna be looking at is gonna be

36:31 place here in the cochlear duct. , the structure of interest is called

36:37 organ of corti named after the guy discovered, discovered it here. What

36:43 have inside the middle of the uh cochlear duct is the tectal membrane.

36:52 , there's all these membranes. So got a Basler membrane, I've got

36:56 uh sorry vestibular membrane. I have Basler membrane in between that makes the

37:01 so like that. Sorry here, better. So I have a basal

37:05 , I have a T orial And over here I have the vestibular

37:09 . Now, why I'm going through this stuff is because all these structures

37:13 working together to allow us to detect . OK. And what we're doing

37:19 we're sending a sound wave up through uh this uh vestibular duct and it's

37:25 gonna make it all the way. right, sound waves have to them

37:32 frequency, right? And an amplitude is a distance, isn't it?

37:41 ? It's a wavelength and so a is gonna travel whatever that distance happens

37:47 be, right? So high notes short wavelengths, deep notes have long

37:57 . All right, so far you're me kind of sort of. So

38:02 go up here for a second. remember when we looked at light wave

38:07 , had this really weird, did bother to go look on Wikipedia at

38:10 picture? Was it there? No looked? OK. I'm telling

38:16 learn something new, just go and . All right, you don't have

38:19 . But, but look here, is the type of wavelengths that we

38:24 think about, right? We think a wavelength as basically just going in

38:29 direction. If I had a rope started snapping the rope, you'd be

38:31 , yeah, that's a wave. that's what I'm used to seeing it's

38:34 a cosine or a sign or All right. So the frequency is

38:39 wavelength, the intensity is the So nothing new there. And what

38:45 want to do is hearing is detecting frequencies. So how do we go

38:51 doing that? And I think this is better than the ones that we've

38:54 looking at. So in this what we've done is we've taken this

38:58 that wound all the way up, on itself and wound all the way

39:02 . All right. And what we is we unwound it. And so

39:05 can see here here's the oval there's a round window, there's the

39:09 duct that goes up, turns on comes back around as the Tian duck

39:13 far are you with me? You see in between, what do we

39:16 , what do we call that cochlear ? And then part of the cochlear

39:22 is the organ that is we use hearing is called the organ of cord

39:25 the organ of corti. It's this that has the hair cells. The

39:29 cells are gonna be detecting the movement fluid inside the organ of corti.

39:35 , if you look at this, the movement of the water or the

39:40 here ever find its way into the in the middle? What, what

39:49 between those two, those two I'll go back to the picture.

39:55 stands between these two ducks a Thank you. If you don't have

39:59 know the name right now for the , you better figure it out.

40:02 right, it's a vestibular membrane. there's no way that fluid from here

40:06 get into there. Would you agree me on that? Just say

40:08 of course. It's like a can fluid move from here to there

40:12 vice versa. What do you No, they're in the way.

40:16 what's going to happen here is that we begin vibrating the timpani membrane,

40:21 gets amplified, moves to the oval causes it to vibrate at a specific

40:29 . And that wavelength will then travel the length of the scala vestibule until

40:36 reaches the point where it goes up then comes down onto the vestibular

40:43 So high notes are going to only a short distance long notes would travel

40:49 further. All right, you're looking this picture and I know you're looking

40:53 this picture because the same way I at it when I was sitting

40:56 right? Or the first time you this, but the cloud, it's

40:59 you a bunch of squiggly lines and of a sudden magically, it it

41:02 the membrane to vibrate at a certain . Uh The wavelength is the length

41:07 which it goes up and comes back . So this artist screwed this

41:12 What he should have done is said is the wavelength that comes up and

41:16 goes down or it comes up and goes down or whatever the length happens

41:21 be. Instead of drawing a bunch lines to say, somehow it magically

41:25 where it needs to go. Does make sense? So short wavelengths are

41:29 to be detected over here, long are going to be detected over

41:34 Why? Because the vestibular membrane when wavelength comes and hits, it's going

41:40 cause the vestibular membrane to dip, ? Have you ever been in a

41:51 ? Every woman should be nodding their because that's where you spend 98% of

41:55 life. It's like I need to . I'm going into a bathtub,

42:00 ? All the guys are sitting there , I'm not allowed in the bathtub

42:04 . And all the guys know why not, not allowed in the bathtub

42:08 at the age of 10, when was probably your last bath, you

42:12 in the bathtub and you started doing , started rocking back and forth,

42:16 ? You remember that? You're laughing it happened, right? You start

42:20 back and forth and you get that going and it's nice and beautiful.

42:23 all of a sudden you get that wave and it goes boom and all

42:27 water comes out, mom comes screaming going. There's all the water all

42:30 the floor. All right, that's of what's going on here is that

42:34 creating a wave that is gonna go and then gonna cause that membrane to

42:42 . And when it causes that membrane move the fluid inside the cochlear duct

42:48 , where can it go? It down to the Basler duct or the

42:52 membrane. And these two things begin in synchrony at that particular location.

42:58 , what sits in between those two membrane, basal membrane, the teoria

43:05 , tectal membrane is like a hard board. It doesn't move, it

43:09 straight out. See there it I'm gonna steal his arm for a

43:21 . I can't take it away from . But see if you put it

43:24 like this. Do you see how nice and stiff? It doesn't move

43:27 I'm on this side, if I'm this way? Do you see how

43:30 just sits there? Now, imagine have hair cells down here in the

43:34 membrane. And so what's happening is every time I'm going up,

43:38 actually thinking I'm creating a movement of , not just up and down to

43:45 these things to shake, but that goes in underneath that tectal membrane and

43:51 flow. And what do the hair do? They've been back and

43:58 So I'm detecting the fluid moving at particular location. So I have an

44:06 hair cell that's sitting out there waving and forth. I have three rows

44:10 outer hair cells. Their job surprisingly not to detect sound, but to

44:17 and modulate the degree of movement they're inside. You see how they show

44:22 , they're stuck up there. So they do is they're, they basically

44:27 and grab onto the tectal membrane. you can actually create greater flow or

44:33 flow as needed. And so what doing is you're detecting sound here.

44:41 , does this actually detect the Now, what it's doing is you're

44:46 at a very specific location. This actually I think putting it all

44:54 this is where I want to talk . So here again, we have

44:59 picture you can see here is a unwound. You all agree with

45:05 You can see up here that would the vestibular, well, the vestibular

45:09 would be on the top. The the timpani. I said Veste

45:14 excuse me, the uh the vestibular is on the top. The timpani

45:18 is on the bottom in the middle be the cochlear duct. And you

45:21 see here this is the basilar Notice one of the things that it

45:25 , it gets wider and wider and . So it makes it harder and

45:28 to vibrate, the closer you get the windows. And what this is

45:32 to show you is look when I movement, that wave comes up and

45:36 that membrane causing the basil or the membrane to vibrate, which then travels

45:42 the cochlear duct travels through and causes basal membrane that movement of the fluid

45:47 there is going to be detected just this point. Nowhere else I see

45:55 , look, anyone here play Yeah. If I hit a key

46:00 at this end, what kind of do I make? Low note or

46:06 note, low notes? If I'm here at this end, what do

46:09 make high notes? So if I picked up the keys and moved them

46:14 , would it change? No, inside the internals of the piano is

46:21 a big giant harp with hammers on , right? And so what I'm

46:26 is no matter what, it's always notes over here, no matter

46:30 it's always low notes over here. that this is what this is

46:33 It's saying, oh, I am hair cell located at this location.

46:37 I get stimulated, that means it a high note. Oh,

46:42 what about right over here? that's somewhere in the middle. What

46:45 over here? Well, this is White Land. You guys know who

46:49 White is, right? If you type it in youtube, Barry

46:55 right? You'll learn, OK. notes, medium low notes. And

47:02 your brain knows which notes it's which pitches its hearing because the signals

47:09 from the hair cells down through the nerve travel to the brain and tell

47:15 , hey, um this area got . Oh, you got stimulated.

47:20 . OK. So that means it's pitch. Now, here's the other

47:26 thing or cool thing if you think it when I talk, do,

47:30 I producing a pure note? What you think? Thank you. I'm

47:35 that the three people that looked at and went like this. Uh It's

47:38 a pure note. I have timber my, to my voice, don't

47:42 ? My voice is different than your and your voice is different than my

47:45 . And that's the result of that's . So there's different vibrations that are

47:50 . I've got different sized sinuses. got a big old larynx where some

47:55 you don't. And so I create unique sounding voice that produces multiple pitches

48:01 just like you do. And so sound waves are all traveling simultaneously at

48:08 speed of sound and hitting all those parts simultaneously. And those sounds are

48:16 the cochlear duct and specifically the organ corti at very specific locations. And

48:21 all that information is being sent up the cochlear nerves and basically saying,

48:28 , these are the things that you're and this is what puts all those

48:32 together so that you can hear and all those different sounds. But we

48:39 a wave, right? And this the last thing I want to mention

48:43 , we started a wave. They the vestibular duct or sorry, the

48:48 membrane to move, which caused the membrane to move and that wave has

48:53 go someplace if it bounced around, you'd hear is mud, right?

49:01 what happens is, is that there's direction that it goes. So it

49:05 in through the oval down through the through the basal membrane. And that

49:10 continues back to the round window and dissipated there. So in other

49:17 the way you can kind of think it just coming back over here,

49:22 sound wave comes in, finds a goes out, comes in, finds

49:28 shortcut goes out, it doesn't go the way around, but the energy

49:33 absorbed. Does this make sense or I just kind of talk way above

49:39 heads? Because I've given this talk times in the last couple of

49:47 Hm Well, so, so I what you're asking, but let me

49:54 of, so you're, you're asking does it know? It can't

49:57 All right, but it has a , all sound has characteristic, it

50:02 a pitch or frequency, right? let me just go back,

50:06 So frequency is the wave length, ? You ever wonder why you guys

50:11 to take a physics class? You're , why do I have to know

50:16 man? I mean, I'm a or kind of like a biologist.

50:20 , the reason is, is because of the things we do are dependent

50:24 physics. And so physics is basically , look, I have a wave

50:29 has a specific characteristic. What is wavelength? My wavelength is here to

50:36 right there. I think that's right to there. I may be

50:40 It might be there to there. been a while. Right. But

50:43 idea is that it has a fixed and that wavelength because of that fixed

50:47 can only travel a fixed distance. . It's not gonna bounce around

50:54 Sorry, because it can't, it only go in and through if it's

51:01 it goes in and further and if really long, it goes all the

51:04 further. All right. So the you can ask is, well,

51:08 you know there are sounds that I hear. There are ranges that dogs

51:12 hear and there are whale ranges that can hear that I can't hear.

51:15 is it that I hear? because our basilar membrane, our organ

51:19 corti is fixed to a particular pitch the high pitch that we have to

51:25 low pitch that we have. But have a basal membrane that have a

51:29 for a much higher pitch. Whales a basal membrane that detects a much

51:35 pitch. So it's not a length . It's how is it tuned and

51:41 has to do with the thickness of membrane and all sorts of other fun

51:45 that we're not talking about? And then yeah. OK.

51:55 All right. Before what's up before go further? How did it get

51:58 the old window? So don't, I'd say is don't neglect that.

52:03 right, I'm not, I'm not at you, right? But we

52:06 to remember sound comes in via the through the timpani membrane brain through the

52:12 inca sta where we get amplification. You guys ever play the game mouse

52:18 ? Yeah, where you have to the Rube Goldberg machine and play the

52:21 . No one ever played the You just built the stupid thing and

52:23 put the marble in, see if can catch the mouse at the

52:26 right? But it's the same sort thing. It's think of this as

52:28 Rube Goldberg. Uh My, my is to hear. So I have

52:32 start from way over here. So , don't forget the middle part.

52:36 now you're at the oval window, here, we'll go here. So

52:46 you're at the oval window, oval vibrates at the same frequency as the

52:51 membrane. We have a certain So that frequency is gonna go vestibular

52:59 for whatever. However, whatever the happens to be, you guys still

53:03 as she goes. OK. So goes to the Vestibular membrane Council.

53:12 it Yeah, so it doesn't cause tectal membrane to move, it causes

53:16 Basler membrane to move. That's easy remember because it's the basement,

53:20 So I'm going from the roof to uh to the floor causes the Basler

53:24 to move. And if we just everything else for a second, the

53:26 wave continues out through the round But let's go back and then the

53:30 of court, what's happening, fluids because of the movement of the vestibular

53:35 and the basal membrane and then that is detected by. You. Got

53:43 . Yes. Mhm No. You're a really good question. So what

53:56 when it's left for me? You hear me, can you? But

54:01 you hear me now? Sorry, . Um notice, I mean,

54:07 would sing but it would be like wounded pterodactyl, right? So if

54:12 went, you know, and you , I can, if I can

54:15 that note, it doesn't matter if soft or loud, that's amplitude.

54:22 the amplitude is the amount of energy into it. So it hits the

54:25 spot but it causes much more So you get more action potentials which

54:30 up to the brain and say, by the way, um we're being

54:33 here for that note, but we're a lot of that. So that's

54:38 the loudness comes from. All So amplitude is measured in decibels pitch

54:44 measured in hurts because it hurts. on notice. But that's,

54:51 that's the difference. So yeah, . So it moves to the

55:01 So, so here you get So you imagine a louder sound would

55:06 the same frequency of vibration, but would cause more vigorous vibration. All

55:12 . Ever been to a concert. . Ever been right there in the

55:17 row. Right. Marshall Stack, in front of you screaming. Bring

55:22 the band. They come out first . Wow. And you're like,

55:27 then after about a minute or it's like, all right, this

55:30 too bad. Ok. Well, reason it's not too bad is because

55:36 amplifiers are still being amplified because of vibration. But we have muscles inside

55:42 middle ear that clamp around them to them from moving as vigorously as they

55:48 . All right, the difference is not as fast as they should be

55:52 could be, which is why sounds loud and then it takes a little

55:56 of time for us to adjust to . I'm just put, adjust to

55:59 . All right. Yes, Does that mean it is?

56:12 So I think this is a I used to do it a little

56:16 more. We spend more time talking the outer hair cell. But really

56:20 idea here is as the fluid comes , basically, it, it has

56:24 ability to move in both directions, , both in and out of the

56:28 , right? But really what we're to do is we're just trying to

56:31 this one cell. So the fluid flowing around as the membrane comes down

56:38 the membrane comes down, that actually a pole. So that fluid comes

56:41 underneath the tect orial membrane. And when the membrane vibrates back up,

56:45 pushes the fluid back out. So what you're detecting is that movement of

56:50 fluid back and forth underneath the tect membrane as the basal membrane goes up

56:54 down. What the outer hair cell because of the presence of this

56:59 Preston is that it stretches like a and it says, I don't like

57:04 stretched. And so the Preston molecule down and causes the outer hair cells

57:08 contract, which causes the tectal membrane be pulled in closer and near to

57:13 basal membrane. So you get different of movement of the fluid underneath.

57:19 you can modulate how much fluid is through, which changes your perception,

57:25 ? Because you're detecting slightly differently, it's still it's there to create something

57:31 you can actually force the water to over or through. So that the

57:36 cells wiggle, that's, that's a scientific term right there. Wiggles,

57:42 hair cells. Are we OK with now a little bit? So I

57:49 made it more complicated than I needed . But it's, it's an interesting

57:54 and, and the way I teach the A P is I just walk

57:57 it just like I did you start the pea or the oracle go through

58:02 um the auditory me or, and , you not gonna have to know

58:07 but just like, OK, there's , tube, tube tian membrane,

58:12 ear and I just kind of walk and just, just build it as

58:15 go along. And if you can it out, step by step,

58:18 only like five steps was they would up with five steps or six

58:25 Six. Ok. It's not that . It just sounds like there's many

58:30 you get lost. What do you and dried out? How bad are

58:37 doing, man? I'm slow. just a slow person because I get

58:41 about this stuff when I talk. right. 20 minutes, hopefully to

58:48 the rest of the stuff. All . So what we want to do

58:51 we go from C circuits to um reflexes and ultimately to neural maps is

58:57 kind of the goal here. So circuit simply is an interconnect, an

59:02 network of neurons. And we're typically about local circuits. We don't want

59:07 talk about the large circuits that this they're too complex for, for us

59:12 this class and really just in they're pretty, pretty complex. So

59:16 we do is when we look at local circuit, we can just break

59:19 down into three parts. It has input and output and it has a

59:22 unit, right? Some sort of neuron that's responsible for integrating

59:28 all right. And so we just some really simple examples that you can

59:32 here, right. So this would an example of a local circuit occurring

59:37 the spinal cord. And this is of where we're going to be spending

59:39 time because we're going to talk about . And this is a good example

59:42 a reflex, right? We have that goes in. That's the

59:46 the sample that you're seeing in the is for an A or a sensory

59:51 moving in. But that's not the source, I mean, you can

59:54 descending fibers coming down, right? could have uh stuff from other areas

60:00 that spinal cord, either above or or next to. So the input

60:05 particularly important. Just understand information has come in from some place. All

60:10 . And then we're going to have sort of inter neurons usually involved.

60:14 can be excitatory nature or inhibitory in for the network. And then what

60:19 have is after, after you determine the response should be, then you're

60:23 to have some sort of output. in this particular case, it's going

60:26 be a motor neuron. So we a sensory neuron going in inter neurons

60:30 process and then we have um motor moving out. And what you can

60:35 here also in, in this particular is uh uh basically uh a type

60:42 , of a um this is sad my brain just, just shuts down

60:49 in the middle of class um the of input I'm looking or the type

60:52 word I'm looking for here is the of circuits that are antagonistic. Thank

60:56 . So we, we can see is that's antagonistic. So where we

60:59 an input coming in, one might turn being turned on, whereas the

61:04 one is turning off so that you have basically like when you're trying to

61:08 , say a muscle, this muscle the one that is being activated,

61:12 you want to turn off this muscle that you can cause your arm to

61:17 . All right. So that would and they, they're antagonistic movements.

61:20 both of them contract at the same , your arm wouldn't move. So

61:24 idea is, oh I can't have is the idea. This is another

61:30 of a local circuit. Again, is going to a cortex. So

61:33 can see here the six layers of cortex. So where is your input

61:36 from? It could be an a fiber, it could be a relay

61:40 from from another area or it could be an adjacent local area that's sending

61:45 fibers. So again, input doesn't , but it's coming into the

61:49 you're going to see inter neurons that going to be processing. So this

61:52 trying show you the inter neurons where in the pluses and minuses. Once

61:55 information is processed, then information is sent outward via projection fibers to wherever

62:00 going, whether it be to another of the nervous system, like in

62:03 central nervous system or sorry, the or say to one of the central

62:08 or maybe even down to the spinal . But the idea is the information

62:13 being sent away from that particular So the organization is not particularly

62:18 it's input processing output and just how define those things. Yeah, it's

62:27 within a very, very small right? So the idea is like

62:31 we look at this one, I this is easier to visualize or understand

62:34 that because this, this is the and it's like, OK, if

62:38 understand my neuro anatomy, then I can see this, but most

62:41 us haven't done a neuro anatomy And so this kind of says,

62:46 just in this one little location, do I have? I've got everything

62:49 need input in input or exp um out and then I've got something to

62:55 right there. So everything that you is there, you don't need to

63:00 things off. Like I don't to China, you know, to

63:05 processed and sent back, we're gonna back to that picture. In

63:13 that picture of the reflex really kind defined everything that we need to know

63:17 the nervous system. And we're going start here with the reflex. And

63:21 you don't know, a reflex is rapid preprogrammed, meaning you'll always get

63:26 same output. It always does this , very quickly. It's an involuntary

63:32 to some sort of stimulus. All . And so here's just two examples

63:36 you guys all done. The knee , you can do it at

63:39 You can sit on a chair or on a desk, cross your legs

63:42 just bang on that uh uh tendon you can get your leg to just

63:46 as much as you want to, ? You shine a light in your

63:50 . What are you gonna get? gonna get a reflex, the pupil

63:53 going to constrict to prevent a light into it, right? So just

63:57 that we are on the same What is the stimulus? It is

64:00 sensory input that initiates the reflex. is the response? Basically the what

64:06 saying is we want it to be . So we're going to exclude as

64:10 neurons as we can. We want as small of a response as we

64:15 . So if it's going to be neurons, great. If it's three

64:17 , that's fine. If you go three neurons, it's going to be

64:20 little bit more complex and it's not to be as fast as it needs

64:24 preprogrammed, you will always, always, always get the same result

64:27 if you fight it. So if try to do that knee reflex and

64:30 try to sit there and fight You cannot win. It will always

64:34 . All right. Have you ever to fight it? It's like I'm

64:38 gonna let you. All right. lastly, it's involuntary. You cannot

64:43 , it can't be suppressed. There two kinds of reflexes. One is

64:48 , one is conditioned. Basic reflex those reflexes that are unlearned. They

64:53 in responses. You look at a and you smile at it and you

64:57 , what's the baby gonna do? gonna smile right back at you.

65:01 a, that's an innate response, ? Baby doesn't have gas. Baby

65:06 responding to the facial stimulus, the . Oh, there's a face.

65:11 respond with the face. That's what do. Ok. Condition reflexes,

65:16 and learning. You all are We're all conditioned, right? We

65:23 a red light or a yellow What do we do? We speed

65:26 ? Right. Well, you've learned Pavlov and his dog, Pavlov rang

65:30 bell fed the dog rang the bell the dog rang. The bell.

65:34 feed the dog. What happened? , the dog bit Pavlov.

65:38 No, he salivated, right? been in classrooms your entire life when

65:45 hear that bell go off. What you do? Pack up, get

65:48 and leave. You are conditioned just the dog. All right, we

65:52 are. So this right here is basic spinal reflex. So you can

65:58 this is very similar to the picture just showed you, you can see

66:01 here, I've got my electric I've shoved it into the tissue.

66:05 . It's electric because of the lightning , or is that just pain?

66:10 , it's pain. Ok. I electric better. All right.

66:13 what we have here is we have aspects of a reflex arc.

66:16 very simple. We have a receptor order to detect, um, or

66:21 a response. You have to have that actually does the detecting. So

66:23 receptor is the first stage in a . Then that signal that is being

66:29 must be sent up via a sensory . So we refer to this as

66:33 A pathway. So the AFA pathway the signal in, you need to

66:39 that information. That would be the center or the inter neuron in this

66:43 or an integration signal. Then once response has been determined or is determined

66:49 really this is binary stuff. It's fire, don't fire. That's,

66:52 the type of processing we're talking about , that signal is sent outward and

66:57 goes to the E factor. So have an A E pathway to the

67:02 effector. What do infectors do they the effect? Keep it as simple

67:06 possible. So, receptor, a integration center, efferent pathway effector,

67:14 have different types of reflexes. We ipsilateral and nips lateral reflex is when

67:18 on the same side of the If you put your hand on a

67:21 stove, you pull it away, don't pull your other arm away.

67:25 the same side. Right. That be ipsilateral contralateral is on the opposite

67:31 . If someone grabs you and pulls towards them, you push away with

67:34 opposite side of your or the other , that's a contralateral reflex. So

67:40 can have both. You know, , that was one that's called a

67:44 reflex. We'll see this here in a second. So we have monosynaptic

67:51 . What do you think monosynaptic means synapse, polysynaptic, more than

67:57 All right. So that's what this showing you here is a simple stretch

68:00 , stretch reflex. You can see the knee with the hammer, detect

68:04 in uh with the uh the the the muscle spindle. What causes

68:10 goes in? Notice there's no it just goes right back to the

68:14 to cause me to kick out. other words, cause the muscle to

68:19 , right? That's a simple example a mono very, very simple direct

68:24 between the sensory and the motor with . You're gonna have one or more

68:29 neurons in between the fewer the So again, here it is,

68:32 burning, you're in the lab. the guys let you work with Munson

68:37 ? Are you sure? OK. I know like in the high

68:40 they stopped allowing people to work with burners, right? So it's because

68:44 this, right? Here. It's I'm supposed to put my hand on

68:47 Bunson burner. No, burn right? You're feeling the heat processes

68:52 move your hand away. So what you do that goes down to the

68:55 ? So the inner neuron serves as processing unit here. Probably the reason

68:58 you need this processing unit is again you need to uh uh relax the

69:03 , the antagonistic muscle. So this the example, what we just saw

69:07 the stretch reflex. Um We've already about this, so I'm not gonna

69:12 over it again. All right. was what we talked about when we

69:15 about the stretch and the Golgi notice the Golgi tendon, not gonna talk

69:19 it again, but it's again, type of reflex withdrawal, flexion

69:25 All right here, we can see are we doing. We're stepping on

69:29 electric snail shell. All right, I step on a lego, what

69:34 I do? Pull my foot But if I didn't put my foot

69:39 , what would I do follow my ? Right. So, with this

69:44 of reflex, I'm picking my foot . But at the same time,

69:47 have to put the other foot down stabilize myself. So we have withdrawal

69:53 flexion. That would be a contralateral . The other example is if you're

69:58 assaulted, right? And this is I was using before, since you're

70:03 in your handwriting. If I grabbed like so and pulled you towards

70:09 she should, if it was, this was an example of like,

70:12 was like, oh my goodness, grabbing me the way she would fight

70:16 me would be to push with the arm. And that is a withdrawal

70:19 reflex as well. All right. for interrupting your writing. These are

70:30 of innate reflexes. These are not reflexes. No one teaches you how

70:35 do the withdrawal reflex, you just it. All right. One of

70:41 other things this is we're changing shifting . This is not about reflexes.

70:46 are done with the reflexes. One the things that we do is we

70:50 within our brains, these regions that called CPGS or central pattern generators.

70:55 what they do is they allow you create those rhythmic activities in your

71:00 So here's some examples, walking is activity, right? Chewing, looking

71:06 , you went chewing gum. usually when that happened, everyone just

71:10 , you know, trauma from junior , that little old teacher spit in

71:14 head, spit in my head, . So chewing is an example of

71:20 rhythmic activity. Breathing is a rhythmic and this happens because of a combination

71:26 these reflexive activities plus voluntary activities. there is some reflexive in them and

71:33 we have a picture of a cat it's really easy to see this when

71:36 measure and see what's going on. the extensions and the flexor, you

71:40 see how the patterns are opposite each . Right? I mean, here

71:43 got a flexor then extensor, flexor . And if you ever watch a

71:47 walk, you know, because they're cool for everybody. They're just

71:52 right. And it's just doing the each time this is occurring primarily in

71:58 brain stem. Even in the higher , there's some pacemaker activity that's

72:04 There's some other synaptic interconnections do not the next slide down. This is

72:12 example of AC PG. All you can see here, I have

72:18 pattern going in another one going So this is telling this neuron to

72:23 . This one telling that neuron to . But look at all the interneuron

72:26 between. All right, you see going on here is we're basically as

72:31 as this signal comes in what they're . It's saying you tell that one

72:34 fire, but I want you to this one not to fire. So

72:37 one doesn't fire and it waits its and then this one's firing. What

72:41 doing is it's telling that one not fire. So what you're doing is

72:44 alternating this pattern so that you get alternating pattern of reflection and extension.

72:50 right. So this is just an of AC PG neuro mapping is the

73:03 stuff. And I think it's the stuff which is very dangerous when I

73:06 across cool stuff because what does I'm gonna talk a lot. All

73:12 . The gist of neural mapping, is, this is the walkway is

73:17 your brain is not simply a bunch cells, a bunch of wires that

73:22 been jammed into your skull. Kind like we, the way we treat

73:26 when we were working with stuff, a high degree of organization to the

73:31 system. All right. So what going to see in a neural map

73:37 how your brain organizes itself so that it receives information, it knows exactly

73:44 that information is coming from. And exactly that modality is to put it

73:49 another way, the language of the nervous system is action potentials and graded

73:55 . Your brain doesn't know technically whether not a neuron is sending a signal

74:01 light, sending a signal about mechanical about pain or whatever. It's what

74:08 receives in a particular location that tells what's going on. Does that make

74:14 sense? And it's because of these maps, these neural maps that it's

74:18 for itself. So for example, we deal with the somatic sensory

74:23 motor cortex, so the sense of and where it comes from and what

74:29 of the brain are responsible for what of the body. This is the

74:33 . So what we're looking at here a somatotype organization, right? In

74:39 words, we're mapping the body along specific pathway so that it matches where

74:46 comes from. All right purple area there. That's the motor cortex,

74:51 light blue, that's the spa century . This is the precentral and the

74:55 gyrus respectively, right. So always, always, always precentral gyrus

75:01 gonna be the motor cortex. Postcentral is always always, always a spa

75:05 cortex information. I'm just gonna come here if I want to make my

75:13 wiggle, this is the part of brain that sends signals to make my

75:17 wiggle. If I am getting poked the butt, I go up there

75:23 you can see exactly where that information going to be sent, right?

75:28 have an arm and look how big arm is. Look how big my

75:31 is. Why is my hand so on this map? That's the sensor

75:35 at the top sense of touch. have lots and lots of tiny,

75:41 receptive fields and they overlap each And so this gives us our fine

75:47 of what's going on. Notice that area that makes up my say my

75:52 thigh, not a lot of receptive because it doesn't matter what's touching me

75:56 my thigh. As long as I something's touching my thigh, right?

76:00 I need to know what's going on my hands because the world revolves around

76:05 hands. Be touching things. What my lips? Look at my lips

76:09 there? Why are my lips so ? Why do you think the sense

76:13 touch around my lips is so A good answer. I was waiting

76:22 someone said because kissing feels good. no one again, you all need

76:28 get out more. All right, big because of we need to detect

76:34 we're putting in our mouths. Have noticed that coffee burns if it burns

76:39 mouth, what do you think it to your insides? It burns it

76:43 , really bad because this is far protective than what's going on inside,

76:49 ? You know, if you feel sharp, hard pointy, you

76:53 you need to know here before it and causes damage elsewhere. All

76:59 Again, the face, things touching face or making my, well,

77:03 touching my face down here. That's . So why motor is so big

77:07 the face? What's the, what's primary form of communication? Humans use

77:13 expressions, right? So this just you again, look at the organizations

77:19 , very specific. These are called Somatic century homunculus. And the motor

77:24 mucus means human. Like notice it's exactly like a human, it's very

77:28 close to a human. If you that thing walking down the street at

77:32 , you'd probably freak out as would else retinoic map. What we have

77:39 is a map that matches the All right. So remember how we

77:43 a retina, we spread it out this. And if it's nice and

77:46 , what we're saying is when light this portion of the retina, there's

77:49 specific part of the brain that receives signal that says light hit this portion

77:52 the brain. And so your brain where the light is hitting on the

77:57 . And what it's doing is it's all those light signals and putting them

78:00 and then processing it to help us the world around us. All

78:06 So you can see how they cross . This is what gives us our

78:10 vision. But all we're doing here we're just saying where does the light

78:15 if we're talking about other aspects like movement? There's other maps. And

78:20 I think I mentioned to you No, I didn't. Actually,

78:23 I mentioned to the A MP group when it comes to the brain and

78:29 the visual understanding, most of our processes. For the for vision,

78:36 have color maps, we have movement , we have all sorts of crazy

78:40 everywhere. And it's what happens is take an image of things we're looking

78:45 and we break it down into its parts and then we put it all

78:48 together and that's what our perception is on these different types of maps.

78:53 the retina topic is again, it's somatic map. It maps to the

78:57 of the retina itself and where light hitting the retina. The last

79:03 Yeah. Is the map for hearing way that hearing works? Is that

79:08 you've ever looked at someone's ear, noticed that? It's kind of weird

79:11 . It looks kind of like a peach. Right. It's kind of

79:14 . The more you look at the weirder it looks, but it

79:17 has a shape for reason because it sound waves to hit it and bounce

79:22 very specific ways. So that sound down through the auditory canal or auditory

79:26 to that Tian membrane and it carries it directional information. So when it

79:33 to the vertical plane, how sound those different things is basically where is

79:39 reflecting? So if the sound is from high, it reflects differently

79:42 when sound comes from below. And it creates a unique pattern in as

79:48 goes down the ear to tell oh, here's, it's verticality,

79:52 kind of cool. All right, it comes to horizontal sound, depending

79:57 if it's a high note or a note, you're creating the sound

80:02 All right. So sound shadows look you can see up top, there's

80:05 high frequency sound. So you can the waves are really, really

80:08 And so when they hit the body the opposite side of you, those

80:11 waves are not able to come around the ear, they basically create a

80:15 . So you hear it on this , but you don't hear it on

80:17 side. And so it's picking up sound on one side and not on

80:21 other gives you a sense of But when it comes to large

80:27 you don't get that shadow. it's just, it hits this side

80:30 then a couple of milliseconds later it that side. And so hearing it

80:34 both ears tells you again, So it works a little bit

80:40 And again, this is a little complex. I show this to you

80:44 I think it's interesting. This is last slide and then we're done,

80:47 ? So that sound when it comes , it's going to go to both

80:52 , right? And so you're picking up from both sides and that information

80:56 sent to the medial geniculate nucleus. here what we have is we have

81:02 that is travel or the actions that traveling to these regions in the uh

81:10 O is the the super optic Is that right? Yeah, superior

81:14 region, sorry. And what we is we, in essence, we're

81:19 to match the sound on both And so if, if the action

81:24 from this direction meets up with an potential at say at this point that

81:28 tells you something or if it's here if it's here, it's here.

81:31 what you're doing is if they don't up your brain kind of says,

81:36 I'm going to go ahead and say this is coming from this side or

81:41 side, it's how we perceive that timing and the frequency in this

81:47 that helps us understand how sound is arriving. And then it goes up

81:52 the brain and then the pitches and are going to be mapped, kind

81:56 like the keyboards of a of a of a piano. So high notes

82:00 gonna be located in one region of temporal lobe, low notes are in

82:04 other ones. And so you're basically along that thing just like we saw

82:08 the homunculus. So if I'm stimulating part of the temporal lobe, high

82:12 over here, low note. So this processing helps us understand the world

82:17 us because we've prema everything and use really, really cool stuff. This

82:24 what's called a delay line and it's like I said, if you're,

82:27 you're a biomedical engineer and an you kind of look at this and

82:29 , this is really cool because it's making circuits talk to each other and

82:33 they fire at the same time then we know where the sound is

82:36 from. That's the delay. I kept you guys an extra two

82:43 . I want you guys to have great weekend. What are you supposed

82:46 do? Go out and get out
