00:05 Alright, good, good morning, ? There we are kicking.

00:12 today, what we're gonna do is gonna look at the glial cells then

00:15 gonna jump into um some kind of of what the nervous system or nervous

00:21 is, like uh the arrangements of , all that fun stuff. And

00:27 we're gonna kind of lay the groundwork work in the peripheral nervous system and

00:31 what we'll deal with on Thursdays, nervous system now. Yeah, it

00:36 performing system. All right. So what we're looking at here is we

00:41 just kind of continuing on like where left off we were saying,

00:44 there's basically two groups of cells to types. We've we've kind of dealt

00:49 the neurons already previously. And what gonna do is we're gonna try to

00:54 away from there and just kind of , what are the other cells?

00:56 are the supporting cells and then we're come back and deal with what neurons

01:00 doing. All right, So, supporting cells are Kind of like all

01:04 players. I mean, I think may have used this analogy before.

01:07 you think of a football team, team has made aside on a football

01:11 is made up of 11 players. quarterback is kind of usually the one

01:15 kind of does look quarterback. How how cool. And then we kind

01:19 ignore the other 10 players. And the support cells, the glial cells

01:24 like the other 10 players on the team, everyone. Oohs and Ahhs

01:27 the neurons, but it wasn't for support cells, the neurons couldn't do

01:31 they do. So they provide all types of support for these cells or

01:37 these neurons. And we collectively refer them as the neuro glia. Which

01:41 a weird way of saying it. look at, you want to say

01:43 glia, it's neuro glia because we're . And uh the other thing is

01:49 cell. Alright, so when you that word you can think glue,

01:54 that's probably the best way to they , when they first discovered it,

01:57 didn't know what the purpose of these were. And it's like, well

01:59 holds everything together. And so glial , the glue that holds the nervous

02:04 together. So there are different types that's what I'm looking for. Uh

02:10 are different types. The this little kind of shows it to for

02:14 there are four types that are found the central nervous system and two that

02:19 found in the peripheral nervous system. two that are in the peripheral nervous

02:22 are very similar to two of the that are in the central nervous

02:25 So we're kind of lumping, we're lump them together while we're discussing but

02:29 should know or distinguish where they come . All right, so the neuro

02:34 are typically much smaller than neurons. right. And they are capable of

02:40 . So their job is to kind do the things to help create the

02:47 that the neurons are responsible for So, if you don't have

02:51 you don't really get neuronal function. right. Now, these don't transmit

02:56 single signals. All right. They talk to other selves including themselves and

03:01 neurons and vice versa. But they're using electrical signaling to do so.

03:07 , there's that value. Why I use the football team. Is they

03:10 outnumber neurons almost 10-1. So, you look at nervous tissue, you're

03:15 looking at glial cells with some neurons of embedded in there. Alright,

03:21 , like I said, there's four . We'll see them astrocytes. I'm

03:24 gonna go in the order here. . Epidermal cells which we've already talked

03:28 the micro glia. Notice how we that again. It's not micro

03:32 It's weird for me micro glia, ? It's like when you say

03:37 you don't say auto mobile or It's just you put weird except accents

03:43 different parts of it. And the group is yellow gender site.

03:46 the alleged gender site and the Schwann are very, very similar to each

03:50 . Um And then the satellite cell the astrocytes are very similar to each

03:55 . So, that's kind of how can kind of associate them and you

03:59 see astro sites astro for star satellites that's how I remember how they're

04:06 All right. So, what we're is we're gonna kind of walk through

04:11 different cells. All right. So order to understand the site, we

04:16 to first understand that where they come . They come from a group of

04:19 stem cells called ali progenitor cells. these cells do is they're capable of

04:28 into a whole bunch of different types cells including neurons. So they are

04:32 stem cell that can kind of go . And what they do is they're

04:35 of found all throughout the central nervous and they are aware of what's going

04:40 around them because at their tips they what are called growth cones. And

04:44 gonna see this a little bit more when we're talking about neurons and how

04:47 move around. And so what they is when they kind of are receiving

04:53 and they will differentiate divide and move go to where they need to

05:00 Now when you have a damaged area gonna see all the sights kind of

05:06 and kind of fill that out. see that also with astrocytes. But

05:10 idea here is I'm filling up You don't want empty space where damage

05:15 occurred. So the first real glial that we want to talk about where

05:22 this OPC can kind of turn into yellow underside. When we talked about

05:26 Ellen this is the kind of cell talking about and you can see none

05:29 the pictures are gonna be great to demonstrate the many connections. So that's

05:33 name is Allah go many Hydro means and side to sell and so here

05:39 the cell you can see this is cell body and it has all the

05:43 going out and these extensions find the axons of neurons and they wrap

05:48 around and they create those myelin sheets the central nervous system so that is

05:53 primary function alright, they can myelin up to at least 50 axons and

05:59 more. They also play a role blocking the ability of a neuron uh

06:08 from dividing. So they actually send signals to inhibit growth and activity of

06:13 neurons. And um basically they can tell the neuron what to do.

06:19 very often when we when we look these things you just kind of thinking

06:22 alright there Myelin and they just sit and they do nothing other than just

06:25 there and create them island but they , they actually play an important role

06:29 communicating with the neurons and it's telling supporting neuronal function is kind of the

06:35 that you can think about that. the key thing here is when you

06:38 all good inter site Myelin central nervous here, we're jumping in the peripheral

06:45 system. Looking at the Schwann Cell Cell does the same thing, it

06:49 those my own sheets in the peripheral system, it just does so differently

06:53 of those Myelin sheets are are a Schwann cell. So what they do

06:59 they start off as an immature cell when they come across that axon,

07:05 they do is they wrap themselves around times around that cell, flat themselves

07:10 and create that myelin sheath. All . Um When a neuron becomes damage

07:18 along the length of the axon, will happen is that axon will

07:21 And then these cells they go through transformation and they stay where they

07:28 And what they do is they release to help that axon be regenerated along

07:33 same path. But because neuronal regeneration fairly slow, it's not always

07:39 So it's really if you have a small distance to go then you can

07:42 . But if it's like a long it doesn't work so well because the

07:46 connective tissue will fill that area. they play a role in helping damage

07:52 send their axons to the right places just that. So the astra

08:00 this is the most abundant uh cell the nervous system. It just won

08:05 american league. Oh wait that's the . The astro's sites are star

08:11 that's where their name comes from. right, so they just looked and

08:15 look these things are shaped like What you can think about is you

08:18 think of them as being like the that kind of creates the environment of

08:22 tissue. This is trying to show here, it's like here's this astra

08:26 , you can see it has all extensions and they're connecting themselves to different

08:30 in order for those different things can arranged where they know to be.

08:34 you can see here, we saw it was associated with the blood

08:38 The capillaries helped create the blood brain , right? We're seeing here that

08:43 are holding the neuron in position. seeing that it's basically holding the synapse

08:49 place and maintaining the synapse. So two cells are communicating with each

08:54 They pick up materials from the blood transported into the blood. Extra cellular

09:00 the brain. Extra cellular fluid. it provides the nutrients that those cells

09:05 , It releases signals, It controls environment by ensuring that there is the

09:09 ion concentrations between the blood and the the cf. So this is a

09:15 that plays an important role of creating environment of the nervous system.

09:21 it's not just there holding things what's interesting, this is another tissue

09:28 plays an important role in creating scar in the brain. I think I

09:32 this class about a student who had up after a lecture like this and

09:36 , oh I got hit in the with an ax when I was a

09:39 . Right, and it was so you can imagine you damage those

09:44 and you now have this big giant in that tissue, right? So

09:49 happens? Well, astrocytes multiply and and they fill up the space and

09:55 act like fibroblasts and create that that to fill up that gap. And

10:02 that portion of that brain where he damage no longer had neurons that were

10:08 , it was just astrocytes. So can think of access scar tissue.

10:14 it also talks to other glial cells the elegant gender sites and tells them

10:18 to do. So it's an important astrocytes. I think the next one

10:24 have here. No, I don't I'm uh let me see.

10:29 I'm just gonna say it here. don't have a slide for it.

10:31 the satellite cell is similar to the site in the peripheral nervous system.

10:39 specifically found around the cell bodies not the length. So we're gonna see

10:44 primarily in ganglia. And what they is they help separate out the

10:48 provide nutrients to all the things that do. They just do it in

10:53 peripheral nervous system. Epidermal cells we've kind of talked about. We may

10:59 have picked up on when we're talking when we're talking about the creation of

11:02 cerebral spinal fluid. That's what epidermal are responsible for. And so here

11:06 are, we're looking inside one of ventricles and you can see here are

11:11 epidermal cells that look like this, can kind of see there sicilia.

11:15 what they do is they produce the spinal fluid. They pick up materials

11:20 the extra cellular fluid that has been by the capillaries in the core oid

11:26 . And then they take that fluid other nutrients and they push it into

11:30 create the cerebral spinal fluid. All , so, that's their primary

11:37 Cerebral spinal fluid. The microbes are weird ones. They're they're the most

11:43 . These are the ones where a of people are spending a lot of

11:45 doing research right now, we're gonna to keep it simple but understand that

11:51 role in the nervous tissue is much more complex than what we're looking

11:55 here. All right. So, can think of them as primarily as

12:01 . So when damage occurs in the tissue, they're kind of sitting around

12:06 nothing just like in your skin. have a bunch of resident macrophages just

12:10 of going, I don't know what do. But when something causes damage

12:15 the skin, those macrophages become alert awake and they start alerting the immune

12:20 because of the blood brain barrier, do not have access to the immune

12:24 , like you do everywhere else in body. So, these micro glia

12:30 as that immune response. So when occurs they become active and those macrophage

12:36 activity is there to start picking up dealing with that damaged tissue.

12:43 They are not only capable of dealing damaged tissue, but they can also

12:47 pathogens. And so for the most they're they're not really all that active

12:53 . But when things show up in nervous system that shouldn't be there,

12:58 when they become awake and active. . So they recognize pathogens, they

13:03 act as antigen presenting cells to activate immune immune insights. They can also

13:09 inflammation. Now you don't need to this down, but just so you

13:13 , it appears that these types of also serve as neural stem cells.

13:18 play an important role in regulating how body responds to trauma or your brain

13:25 to trauma. There's all these really things that they do um And we're

13:32 like tip of the iceberg type stuff terms of this stuff. Um Anyway

13:39 I went to a talk where they how they migrated stuff during development when

13:43 trying to you know, make grow brain and stuff. And so it's

13:47 interesting how they kind of move and the things that they do. So

13:55 is kind of the big picture of your brain does. Alright. And

13:59 like this part of the lecture because using our brains to listen and we're

14:04 about our brains, thinking about the , right? So it's a very

14:09 concept, right? That's that's its . Alright. So what we're doing

14:14 is we're receiving and processing both external stimuli all the time. That sensory

14:20 . Right now you look around the , the room is bright, the

14:24 is moderate in terms of its humidity is decent. These are all

14:30 that you're now aware of because I said that alright, but your brain

14:34 monitoring that all the time. You're , oh I'm just kind of

14:37 You know, that's when you kind realize that you perceive but your brain

14:41 always paying attention and stuff. What's on outside you if you're thirsty

14:46 you need to go to the all that fun stuff your brain is

14:51 you or is monitoring what's going on your body and alerting you to those

14:56 facts. Right? So that perception you becoming consciously aware of the things

15:03 the brain is actually monitoring. The other thing that it does that

15:08 can integrate information and what that You can store memories. For

15:12 you can act on actions or you can ignore stuff. So like

15:17 now some of you are falling asleep the very very kind tones of my

15:22 . Right? It was early when woke up this morning. It was

15:26 , kind of cold and right now smooth velvety voice, it's like time

15:34 sleep. All right. That's an of ignoring me. I don't

15:37 That's actually probably taking in the stimuli say uh comfort, safety going to

15:42 now? All right. But the is that you're taking in information from

15:48 surrounding environment from here and you're responding that stimuli. Alright. You can

15:54 send signals throughout your body. So basically gonna be promoting what what we're

16:00 to be doing to that in response stimuli. So you can stimulate

16:04 That can be you can think in of movement, stimulate glands. You

16:07 something that's like like oh I don't , fresh brownies and what is that

16:13 make you want to do? Right? That's your I want my

16:17 , right? Um Other cells in body are responding. We're not gonna

16:22 the endocrine system in this uh in half of a Mp. But in

16:27 . And P. Two. If come back, we're gonna talk about

16:29 endocrine system and all the fun things your hormones are doing and what they

16:34 . All right. So that's another . Conscious awareness I think therefore I

16:41 . Right. That's good. Or a day card. But we're aware

16:44 who we are and our surroundings and what we're doing right now right?

16:50 conscious awareness. You're perceiving the world you, perception is just your awareness

16:57 that stimuli and I just want to something out. This is a question

17:01 like to ask and it's just kind a fun one. Uh Not test

17:04 . Is the world around us The world that we that we are

17:09 of. Is it reality? Yes no, No. Alright. It's

17:14 we perceive. We have receptors that us to perceive very specific things about

17:20 world around us. But let's just a real simple thing for me to

17:23 it. There are radio waves that cannot detect. Right? Can you

17:29 x rays? Can you detect radio ? No, they're on the same

17:35 Or if you look at radio electromagnetic , there's this broad spectrum from you

17:42 gamma rays on through radio waves through that stuff and you can only detect

17:47 very itsy bitsy teeny tiny sliver of radiation. We call that the visual

17:53 right? Those are the colors. what allows our eyes to see.

17:56 we got all this other stuff going . Some snakes for example can detect

18:01 the infrared range. All right. they perceive a world that's slightly different

18:07 ours. Bees for example can detect the ultraviolet range. We can't we

18:16 to have machines that do that. how they find their food source.

18:19 looking at the reflections of UV light the absorption of UV light in in

18:25 . The way we look at the like oh how pretty when a bee

18:27 at a flower, it's like big arrows pointing to say this is where

18:30 food's at. You know? So is just an example what we perceive

18:36 simply a function of the receptors that have to allow us to experience the

18:41 around us. But there's so much we have no idea what's going on

18:46 we don't have the receptors. so reality is much much bigger than

18:51 we perceive which is both kind of and kind of scary because what can

18:56 perceive that's going on around this? knows? Guess we'll find out

19:03 All right, can you guys understand words I'm talking about? Yeah.

19:08 we all have language. Right? of you are bilingual, some of

19:11 are trilingual, some of you are more lingual right? The idea is

19:16 we communicate by using a common common and that common sound we've all agreed

19:23 mean things. And so that's This idea of reasoning if I do

19:28 , this is what's gonna happen to if I do that, that's what's

19:30 happen to me. What should I ? I will do this over

19:34 That would be an example of reasoning ? Your ability to remember. I

19:38 you to all picture um Oh I know what you did this friday this

19:45 friday. Can you picture something you this last friday? I know it

19:49 like four days ago right? But you picture that? I mean I

19:53 say can you picture your first How about that? Can you picture

19:56 first crush? Yeah, but that's memory we can pull stuff like that

20:03 some better than others. Alright, . All right. These are our

20:09 . These are the things that how respond to stimuli at a kind of

20:16 of this role level. And so this is gonna be controlled in the

20:20 system by different aspects of the nervous . And we could spend an entire

20:24 . In fact, if you're interested stuff you can go take the neurophysiology

20:28 where they do talk about this to detail. But this is where we're

20:31 gonna leave. We're just gonna say brain, your central nervous system does

20:35 whole bunch of stuff and allows us understand what we can about the world

20:40 us. And it actually does things even I'm not gonna say it tricks

20:43 , but it fills in the right? For things that we don't

20:48 understand. So you guys watch cartoons your kids, right? Maybe like

20:53 , did you watch cartoons? Do guys remember like those shows where they

20:56 the anthropomorphic whatever it is. I I just if you don't know anthropomorphic

21:01 it means human like right? So if they have a toaster and they

21:06 the toaster into like they put a on the toaster because you have the

21:10 down thing and that's like its nose you have the line. All you

21:12 do is give it eyes and now got an anthropomorphized toaster. Alright,

21:17 brave little toaster that you there's also Brave little steam engine. They're all

21:21 by Disney. Yeah, there were were like three of them.

21:25 So why don't we look at these ? So this makes it all

21:28 That didn't work for you? Think every single Disney movie Pixar movie that's

21:32 come out, Right? I what was the one with Zootopia?

21:38 ? All the, all the all animals do animals walk on their hind

21:43 and talk and use cell phones and crimes. Something they can do a

21:50 bit, but they don't write. what we've done is all we gotta

21:53 is create a couple little characteristics in brain says, oh, I'm going

21:59 suspend my disbelief for a little bit I'm just going to enjoy the little

22:03 that's going on here, even though know that giraffes don't play volleyball naked

22:09 hippopotamus is as an example, Maybe do and we just haven't seen it

22:19 now, the process of creating nervous called neurogenesis. And it's it's a

22:25 , very complex process. But what want to show you is that the

22:29 that it does, so changes over . That's what the next couple of

22:33 are so very early on the way the brain is developed is that we

22:38 these glial cells and the neurons are . So you can see here,

22:42 a early form neuron, that's what is supposed to be and it says

22:46 it does. It finds a glial and uses that glial cells travel to

22:49 it needs to go. And so can see it finds its like,

22:52 , now I'm gonna work my way and I'm working outward. This is

22:55 is referred to as radio migration. the brain grows in this direction as

23:00 create these different layers. All And the way that the neurons nowhere

23:05 go is because the surrounding cells are out factors signals to tell them where

23:11 go. All right. But once become adults, you've established already the

23:16 layers of the brain. And so happens is is that if you need

23:19 move a neuron, what you typically is you move within the layer that

23:24 found and this is what is referred as tangential migration. Alright, So

23:30 idea is I'm not going up up down through layers. I'm going to

23:34 by side in the same layer. right. Now again, this is

23:39 be reliant on signals that are being by the surrounding cells and telling them

23:44 to go. And I think this of shows you this process a little

23:48 better. So this is an example how this is done. So how

23:52 nowhere to go. It's through a of chemo taxes. We can actually

23:57 this in the lab. You put neuron in addition you can add chemicals

24:00 you can make the neuron grow and following the chemical. It's really kind

24:06 cool. You can also do it lasers and I don't know why that

24:09 . But you know it does. can just basically say, here do

24:13 and the neuron follows. So this a process when you're doing with chemicals

24:18 chemo taxes. Now, chemo tax a generic term that just says following

24:22 chemical. So for example, when have an infection and you have immunity

24:27 that are certain the blood, there's to be signals released by the tissue

24:31 has that infection or that damage to . And those chemicals attract the immune

24:37 into that tissue. That's chemo Alright. So when chemicals are used

24:41 attract a cell someplace, chemo Alright. So typically what it

24:48 you're gonna be using a growth hormone responsible uh to uh move the neuron

24:56 the way that you want. So of the chemicals are gonna be

24:58 hey you come this way, others saying don't come this way. So

25:02 basically kind of guiding traffic and what acting portion of the neuron is,

25:07 called a growth code. And so is what this is trying to

25:10 So you can imagine here this is dendrite that's kind of expanding outward and

25:14 to find out where it goes. it shows you, so we're

25:17 really close up, you can see little red things here are basically showing

25:21 the those growth cards. This idea like, I'm reaching out and I'm

25:24 to find where the chemical is. kind of like if you've ever watched

25:28 week, it's like watching a shark a trail of blood. It's like

25:32 a drop of blood, there's something the water and I'm just gonna keep

25:35 to find where that goes. And they're trying to figure out how and

25:39 to go. So, that would the growth boom. Alright,

25:42 what we're doing is we're following to place other places maybe sending signals saying

25:47 come here, and then the one basically that drives you in a specific

25:52 . So you get all sorts of and cause a neuron to branch and

25:56 can cause it to become more sensitive that there's a greater interaction between

26:02 There's all sorts of different types of that ultimate result in a change in

26:08 nervous tissue. And what we refer this as is we refer to this

26:12 neural plasticity. And what this really means is that your brains are not

26:17 formed. All right. In other , once you create your brain,

26:21 not like it's done, done Everything you can do is already

26:26 What this means is that your brain constantly changing. And what I wanna

26:30 is I want to just focus down very, very bottom at these little

26:34 and stuff. And what each of dots represents is a neuron All

26:38 And so over here on the left saying, look, when you were

26:41 you were born and your brain was , that's where we got neurogenesis.

26:44 so we created this network of neurons we can see that there are two

26:49 that are in this network that aren't to the other one. Is that

26:53 ? Six? The other six Alright, but we can see that

26:57 of the neurons are connected in some of strange pattern. Now the pattern

27:00 matter. This is just for the of understanding this. All right.

27:05 what happens is is that throughout life going to experience different things right?

27:11 right now, you're learning something new , you're learning about neurogenesis and right

27:17 your brain is trying to figure out do I do with this. And

27:21 what you're doing is you're exciting neurons what you're doing is you're disrupting their

27:26 interactions between a certain group of neurons your brain. And that's what the

27:31 picture is trying to show you is , look, they're rearranging themselves in

27:36 a way that they can create a network. And as you continue to

27:41 this stuff and continue to to work this. Is this new information will

27:47 a new pattern in this little cluster that's what you're saying. So,

27:52 uh new arrangements are gonna be Old arrangements are gonna break down and

27:59 you're gonna end up finally is a structure, a new relationship and notice

28:05 neurons that were there haven't disappeared. just no longer a part of the

28:10 network. The network has changed. this is what neural plasticity is.

28:15 the rearrangement of the interactions between the to support whatever it is that you

28:21 , whatever is a new skill, new idea, a new memory and

28:24 trauma that that's forcing you to recall or to be alert about something.

28:30 if you got bit by a are you gonna want to be around

28:32 anymore? No, it's not your , it's someone else's dog. You're

28:38 down the street and you're like, , I like dogs. And dog

28:40 up and bite you in the You're gonna you're gonna be thinking about

28:43 every time a dog comes up, are you gonna be thinking? Is

28:46 dog gonna bite my face? You think that probably right? And that's

28:53 function of an experience that would change that you're dealing with this new reality

28:58 this idea that when I see what I do and that would be

29:01 going on? So your brain is doing this, it's constantly undergoing

29:12 All right, And that's what neural is now, what this means for

29:23 and for you to understand this is neurons are well integrated. They're not

29:28 lying around and and it's not just , one idea comes in, one

29:33 goes out right? Or one activity out instead. What we have is

29:38 have these groups of neurons that are pools or their circuits. And what

29:42 doing is they're there to do the making based upon the input,

29:47 So they're undergoing the change. And that change occurs, if you keep

29:53 whatever it is, like if it's skill or if it's a memory or

29:56 , then that pattern of excitation will in that neuronal circuit or pool.

30:02 so that is what causes the the response afterwards. Now, there's

30:08 movie um you may not have seen because it's it's actually kind of

30:12 But when I first started teaching, was Jim Carrey and kate winslet I

30:16 is the Sunshine spotted Mine. I never remember the title because like,

30:19 like a 10 word title. It's but it's a it's a it's a

30:24 basically about kate winslet and Jim Carey dating and then they had this horrible

30:30 and she didn't want to remember that was dating Jim Carey. Well,

30:37 could blame her? I'm sorry. just it's a funny joke.

30:42 So there's a company in this in particular world that allows you to to

30:47 memories and the way that they make make it make it happen is like

30:53 neuron holds a memory, right? not how that works. So the

30:57 is that they're going in and they're deleting the memory from neuron to neuron

31:01 neuron. And the whole story is the memory trying to find a way

31:05 preserve itself and to be remembered, ? So that they can remember that

31:10 were happy times, It wasn't a thing. That's not how this works

31:14 memory. And there they've done some , really interesting things, They've done

31:18 in rats, they've done these in and in essence what they can do

31:21 you can see that a an idea an experience results in a series of

31:28 activity, right? So what you see as you might see like say

31:31 neurons, we're gonna make this So neuron fires and neuron b fires

31:34 neuron c fires. Alright, so you do the activity, you see

31:39 abc abc and so now if you stimulate abc that activity is what's going

31:46 happen as a result of that. for example they would take rats and

31:50 put them in this little maze because what we do to rats right?

31:54 how we tortured them and this was figure eight mais. So you had

31:56 maze go around this way in the and it came back this way and

31:59 the middle where the two circles meet that figure eight, there was a

32:04 and they trained the rats get the runs in the wheel a certain number

32:08 time and hops off and when it off it knows that it has to

32:12 around the circle, jump back on wheel and then it has to run

32:16 other circle and then of course they a whole bunch of electrodes in the

32:20 brain so they can watch what's going . So you can imagine it's kind

32:23 weird seeing either an antenna or basically bunch of wires attached something but they

32:27 watch the activity and they can see that rat is doing is like as

32:32 learning it, this is the pattern creates and you can watch that neuronal

32:38 and they see before the rat would a decision what it needed to the

32:42 , what that pattern would would appear them on the monitors before the rat

32:48 actually do it. So they could see the rat thinking about what needed

32:51 be done before the next activity. . Huh? Alright. Well it's

32:56 who cares did this in humans All right now again, it's a

33:01 bit different. We don't drill holes humans brains and stick a bunch of

33:04 and see what we do instead. we do is we do a big

33:08 skull caps with a whole bunch of attached to the top and what they

33:12 is they took a bunch of epileptic because those are the people that you

33:15 work with because they're available. And they made them watch a whole bunch

33:20 cartoons and clips from movies and stuff that. And then after, so

33:25 recorded the brain activity, see what were watching while they're watching it.

33:29 again you see the pattern as they're and processing and then afterwards they ask

33:33 questions and before they answered you would a repeat of the exact same

33:39 So it's the pattern in the That is important. That is what

33:45 memory is, that is what causes to do the action. Right?

33:51 it's the pool that becomes important. these neurons can either be localized in

33:55 case that means that they're confined to specific area. So when we start

33:59 at the different regions of the central system, this is what this

34:03 That's what we're referring to. That's localized activity that we were able to

34:08 or identify. But we also will that some of these things, some

34:12 these pools are actually distributed across multiple or different regions of the central nervous

34:18 . When we look at visual we'll say, oh yeah, it

34:21 back here in the occipital lobe, 80% of your brain is responsible visual

34:26 . So you can see this is of a distributed type of circuitry Even

34:32 we say it's back here localized it's lot more how these circuits are

34:40 They can be very very limited into you're going to put into it.

34:44 for example if you wanted to know smell of something you want, the

34:48 from what structure your nose. Do want to have input from your eye

34:54 tell you what it smells like? , So you have limited input,

34:58 don't need all the sensory input coming and telling you everything you need to

35:02 about something. All you need to is a little bit so circuits are

35:07 specific as to what they receive and the information that's going out is going

35:12 be very specific as well. it's gonna be fairly limited or

35:18 Lastly these systems can be either simple complex and what this means and I

35:23 that's what the next slide is. , is that their structure can be

35:28 , really, really easy to We're gonna we're gonna primarily deal with

35:32 simple ones today but understand that there these we have these complex activities which

35:39 to complex circuitry and I think this kind of demonstrates this bet.

35:44 so this would be an example of simple certificate. Can you, is

35:47 easy to understand right here, neuron turns on two and right look at

35:53 complex one, neuron one turns on to which turns on neuron one downstream

36:00 the soma. So, what we here is a circuit that once we

36:04 it on, if we activate this , this would keep generating a

36:10 Right, repetitive. So whatever is here would constantly receiving a signal.

36:15 there's that branch doesn't mean I'm only one way, I'm going both

36:20 Alright, so branching is just simply you go down both paths at the

36:27 rate. So, simple circuits, cell with another cell. Notice what

36:33 have here, uncommon in the central system. They're common. More and

36:39 nervous system. We'll see that in second. But yes, but you're

36:51 to see some more complex than just one complex multiple connections. These are

36:56 ones that are more common. So here's two examples of these complex

37:03 . We have a converging circuit and circuit. So picture matches, converging

37:11 . What you can see here here have a single neuron. It's not

37:14 input from one neuron. It's getting from multiple neurons. Three neurons.

37:19 right. And so, what we here is we're getting information from multiple

37:24 . And so we're not uh we're the signal into a single circuit or

37:31 single cell to get a single All right, So it comes down

37:37 a common circuit is what we're looking . So lots of information. So

37:42 about salivation for a moment. All , And this is why salivation,

37:48 ? Is dependent upon a whole bunch different things for example, it's dependent

37:53 gustatory stimulation. If I take chocolate put it in my mouth. Am

37:58 gonna salivate? Yeah. There are there that detect the presence of the

38:04 molecule on the planet. No one's agree with me on that. Uh

38:09 agree? Okay. I like Get chocolate. It's not an actual

38:13 but but there's lots of molecules in . There's sugar in there.

38:20 Right? And so that's that's an . All right. We're gonna have

38:26 again. Think about that browning. . We're gonna find out a little

38:29 later that the gustatory system in the system are closely aligned to one

38:34 So when things smell good when I that brownie and I smell it,

38:40 mouth just gets like all excited, does my brain, right? And

38:44 when it goes in my mouth, only am I smelling and tasting

38:47 Oh yeah, that's like and then also tactile. Think about that brownie

38:51 in your mouth, right? That And yeah, so there's tactile

38:57 Have you ever noticed that food that look good? Doesn't necessarily taste

39:01 Yeah. Right. I mean it always but you know often like oatmeal

39:07 you look at it like it's not taste good, right? The only

39:10 that rescues it is close your eyes just taste the cinnamon? It's like

39:15 this is okay. Right, Because that's part of the input? Gray

39:20 just doesn't look edible. All That would be an example.

39:25 Diverging circuits on the other hand is we're amplifying stuff. Alright. So

39:29 taking input. And what we're doing we're seeing a lot of different systems

39:33 to know this. And so we're to send the signal outward.

39:36 It's fanning out becoming larger. Um example I'm using here is like um

39:43 . So walking isn't simply one Walking is multiple muscles. It's lots

39:48 balance, lots of equilibrium. And the idea of like, oh,

39:51 want to get from here to there be a simple input, but the

39:55 is this muscle, that muscle, muscle, that muscle, that muscle

39:59 muscle to allow me to get to I need to go. All

40:07 So, these are a little bit more complex. And again, remember

40:10 of those branches represent a signal that's simultaneously. So here the rhythm,

40:15 is a parallel ostriches, that rhythm circuit. So think of something that

40:20 do that's rhythmic. Think what's something you do that's rhythmic walking is

40:25 Something else where you think something There's a lot of them. I

40:30 , I'm not like trying to look a single one, Humming.

40:35 Could be, but it's it's not repetitive thing. So breathing is a

40:40 one. You know that it's not something you think about, right?

40:44 mm hmm. How about chewing that heartbeat is actually independent of the nervous

40:52 . But it's a good idea, ? There is regulation that we can

40:57 , but the heart actually does its beating, right? So chewing dribbling

41:03 basketball, riding a bike, you , walking as she said, you

41:08 , all of these are examples of right now. If you've ever watched

41:12 walk, you know, uh it's obvious in a four legged animal,

41:17 you can see it in two legged too, when you walk and watch

41:20 arms what they do and you'll start that the opposite start swinging,

41:25 My arm over here matches this I'm over here. And so it's

41:30 of like this now you guys probably see it because you're on your phone

41:34 the time. Right? Yeah, gonna make fun of you guys as

41:42 as you guys have phones. It's it's sad. All right.

41:47 so that rhythm that we create when moving when my arms are swinging,

41:51 legs are going is a function of types of circuits. And you can

41:55 of see here we have more than . And what we're doing is we're

41:58 back over and over again. So the signal is getting bigger and bigger

42:02 bigger and bigger and bigger. And something causes it stop. And then

42:05 big big big big big and stops this is really obvious in breathing,

42:10 ? I mean when I'm inhaling the contracts and then it relaxes. That's

42:16 the stop signal. The muscle And when I breathe in I'm contracting

42:22 muscle and then something causes the muscle and then I'm exhaling. All

42:27 so that's that is an example that generating rhythms generating. Alright, what

42:35 using here is something called a central generating circuit and that's that thing that

42:40 the up, up, up, , up, up and then

42:43 The last one here is a parallel discharge. These are typically what we

42:47 are what are used in higher order , you know, like decision

42:51 planning that sort of stuff. And way that I can best describe this

42:56 that the neuron here is being affected just by one neuron. But what

43:01 doing is we're creating multiple signals that at different times in that receiving

43:07 So you can see here this cell directly acting on this but it's also

43:11 on these cells of different links. the signal gets to these cells at

43:16 different time, then it gets here then this cell here affects that

43:21 And so if you're following the what you're gonna see is like one

43:24 fires, then the next cell fires the next cell and in the next

43:28 in the next cell. So that cell is getting barraged. Like up

43:32 up up up up. So it's long response or a long stimulation in

43:38 cell so that you get a larger . So that's a pattern that you're

43:46 in order to create a unique neuronal . That's why it's higher order thinking

43:57 memories that were kind of describing from movie. Now your circuits are started

44:06 early on during fetal development and you of start making those manipulations to it

44:11 the early stages of your life neonatal . Alright? But this is that

44:17 I was talking about. So you as you're doing thing, you're going

44:20 create new interactions. You'll tear down ones and build new ones. All

44:26 . And so that's what allows us do the unique things that we do

44:32 we sit here and I say, know pedagogic li you know, I'm

44:36 big words you know in order to first, you expose yourself once and

44:41 you expose yourself the next time and you expose yourself another time. And

44:44 you do practice, which is how class is designed, right? You

44:48 , you come to class, you your notes and then you do homework

44:53 , right? Those are all geared making your brain reorganize itself and creating

45:01 neuronal patterns. You can't be exposed something once and have it really change

45:09 your brain works. There are examples that happens trauma is one of those

45:13 and that's not the best way to , right? Would you like me

45:16 come in here and smack you every I give you a new idea,

45:20 or have your neighbor everyone hit the to your left clock, right?

45:24 know. It's like, okay, time I get hit, you

45:27 this is something I have to learn it's not gonna be away. So

45:30 idea here is by redesigning our we're going to hold on to

45:37 create new skills or or become better skills that we've been exposed to.

45:43 other words, practice makes perfect. this last little thing is you're not

45:50 with what you are as a You know, you've heard the statement

45:54 teach an old dog new tricks, ? When my mom comes over and

45:58 , I can't figure out my it's like, no, you're just

46:03 . Alright. Certainly you can write I can do it and as old

46:08 I am, I can figure out stuff. Certainly you can write when

46:13 young, that's part of life. is new, new, new,

46:17 , new, so you're, you're a constant change of or nervous tissue

46:23 adulthood. You've seen a lot and you get lazy, right? But

46:28 all capable of change. I think last two years basically demonstrated that pretty

46:32 , didn't it? Not necessarily good . Sometimes. All right. So

46:40 circuits will be able to regulate complex . It's not simple equal,

46:44 complex equals complex. You're gonna use as needed. So, whatever works

46:50 . And what we're trying to do very often is we're gonna see reflexes

46:54 a response to these particular neuronal And so our shift here is gonna

47:02 two reflexes. Now reflexes are this I'm just going to say the definition

47:08 that you get in your brain. a rapid pre program involuntary reaction.

47:15 . That's gonna occur in muscles. can occur in gland and it occurs

47:18 a very specific stimulus. I've been the doctor's office when they did

47:23 Need your reflex. Have you never that? You can do it to

47:27 . It's really easy. Alright, do it over here. Alright,

47:32 , what you wanna do is fall the table. Right? See there's

47:38 can see it just It just wants die. All right, you have

47:41 ligament right here. All you gotta is just slap across it and I'm

47:44 try to do this without falling off table. All right. You got

47:47 karate chop it. Right, you , missed it there. I can

47:57 to not do it. Right? can't stop it. It's just,

48:02 always happens. Alright, So, is an involuntary response. That is

48:08 key thing. All right. What looking at this one is called the

48:12 reflects, Alright, babies when they're , know how to feed themselves.

48:18 do not need to teach them and , hey, you need to latch

48:21 this. Alright. Whether it be nipple on a bottle or a nipple

48:24 a person, nope, they're trying show you all they gotta do is

48:28 stimulation right here and what do they ? And they turn their head and

48:32 start feeding. They know how to it. This is a natural

48:36 So what is the stimulus? It's the sensory input. Right. Rapid

48:42 you don't need a lot of neurons to make this happen. So,

48:45 are really, really, really simple . Pre programmed. It's gonna happen

48:49 single solitary time and lastly involuntary, cannot suppress it and you don't need

48:56 effort to make it happen. All , those are going into nursing,

49:01 get to learn all about some really fun different reflexes that you're gonna

49:05 . The Bobinski reflex on babies, grab their foot, you rub across

49:08 foot, you get their foot little toes and basically it's demonstrating neuronal

49:15 There's all sorts of fun ones. , so their basic reflexes and their

49:20 reflexes. A basic reflexes. One your um that's unlearned. So this

49:24 be an example of a basic That's a basic reflex, right?

49:29 built in responses, they naturally you do not need to teach

49:35 Alright then we have what are called reflexes. A conditioned reflex is a

49:40 that's acquired after practice and learning now one that you can think of most

49:44 is the Pavlovian reflex. Right? good old Pavlov. Pavlov had a

49:50 . And what do you do? rang the bell and then he fed

49:52 dog, right? Rang the fed the dog, ringing the bell

49:55 the dog, rang the bell. feed the dog. The dog do

50:00 bit Pavlov like, where's my No, he he salivated.

50:05 because bell equals food. Right? I know you're conditioned, right?

50:13 am, Yes. Your condition, condition you all the time. Not

50:17 personally, but just generally speaking. , you're in the car, the

50:21 turns yellow, you're approaching this light it turns yellow. What do you

50:25 speed up? Right? Your I'm not gonna be stuck at the

50:30 . Yellow means I'm gonna have to stuck at the light. So I

50:33 up Now some of your rule followers you go, oh, yellow light

50:37 I slow down and you slow But when you see yellow, you

50:43 , right, That's an example of throughout high school, you heard the

50:49 the bell, What do you do it's at the end of class,

50:52 do you do pack up my get up, go and then you

50:56 the warning bell, what do you ? Run to your class? Get

50:59 your seat conditioned. Alright, we conditioned to do things in response to

51:10 stimuli. Alright, that would be example. Now, this is one

51:15 the most important images you'll see in nervous when we talk about the nervous

51:21 , not because I'm like, oh got to know everybody, but you're

51:23 see the same this same pattern like times. So when you see this

51:28 like I learned this once I've learned whole bunch of different things, All

51:32 , and what you can see in picture is we were looking at both

51:36 and peripheral nervous system. Alright, here, that's spinal cord, central

51:42 system over here, peripheral nervous all right, and what we're doing

51:46 we're looking specifically at the reflex you'll see later why this is going

51:50 be important and understanding, you the structure of the relationship between the

51:55 and central nervous system. When it to the formation of the spinal

51:59 you'll see it again in another area I can't remember what it is on

52:02 of my head. But anyway, here we are, this is your

52:05 and you can see what have we to the skin. We stuck a

52:10 in our bodies, our pen, know? And you know, I

52:15 like to make fun of it, gonna look, it's an electrical nail

52:17 there's lightning bolts coming from it, just means there's pain, right?

52:21 you stick a needle in your is it for fun? Or does

52:25 hurt? Like heck hurts? like ! Okay. Alright, so what

52:30 have in this is there's five parts reflex arc. So this is like

52:35 most basic way that the nervous system . All right. You have a

52:41 . The receptor responds to whatever the is. All right. So you

52:46 specific receptors for very specific things and going to learn about those different types

52:51 receptors later. Alright, that's today's today. So, the receptor recognizes

52:56 the stimulus is. In this particular , we're looking at damage.

53:01 And so this particular receptor recognizes mechanical . That receptor will then send a

53:10 into the central nervous system. This is referred to as the different

53:15 Now I'm gonna put a big emphasis the different right? But it's really

53:21 . Different but a fair, it easy to remember and when you say

53:25 different with a little bit of that twang, they sound a lot

53:28 Alright, so it's a different all . A fair and pathways in and

53:34 sends a signal into the central nervous in the central nervous system, this

53:38 where we're going to process information and what we refer to as the area

53:43 processing. So in this particular case has a single neuron between the in

53:47 the out. That single neuron is to as an interneuron because it's in

53:52 And this pattern right here where the is is the integration center that neuron

53:59 responsible for saying when I get poked this particular location, I need to

54:04 send a signal outward to respond to poking the red line. Here is

54:12 other pathway. This is part Remember part one receptor, part

54:16 A different pathway. Part three Integration where I'm processing the response for the

54:23 is being sent via the different pathway then downstream of the different pathway.

54:28 thing that does the response is what referred to as the effect er It

54:32 the effect. So the terminology shouldn't too weird, right? Integration processing

54:42 . And so here the effect er this particular case is a muscle.

54:47 I get stabbed, like if I on a tack, what do I

54:50 to do? I want to lift my foot, right? And I

54:55 have to think about it. let's just pretend that's fire. For

55:00 moment. I put my hand over hot or touch a hot stove.

55:03 have to go like a cartoon and , I smell something burning. No

55:08 do you feel the heat? You it away and then you start thinking

55:13 it. That's when you say oh not while it's happening, it's

55:19 Okay, so this is a very simple pathway, it doesn't require any

55:24 of thought it's occurring simply at the of the spinal cord. So this

55:29 an example of the basic reflex, doesn't travel to the brain for

55:34 And here when I say processing. mean, to elicit a response to

55:40 that stimulus again it can go up and then you're thinking about stuff and

55:46 know, there might be an emotional if you get stuck by a needle

55:49 their emotional response, Right? I , so reflexes can be pretty

56:01 I mean, so this is an of what we are looking at is

56:04 uh when we're looking at that knee reflex, that's a mono synaptic.

56:08 when you hear the word mono what do you think of one

56:12 So does it have an interneuron? . Alright, there's only a single

56:18 . So here we have the This is a stretch receptor.

56:22 we bang that ligament that causes the to stretch muscles that I want to

56:26 stretched and so it pulls back and causes your leg to kick. All

56:31 ? So that whole process is the is detected and tells the muscle,

56:37 hey hey hey no no no. this information goes in and information comes

56:41 notice it's not confined to the It has to go to the nervous

56:45 here to elicit the response muscles don't unless they're stimulated through the nervous

56:51 So that's an example of mono synaptic there's one synapse what we just looked

56:57 on the previous page is an example policy synaptic these are a little bit

57:01 complex. So, you can see there's one there's two synapses anything greater

57:05 mono. One is poly, It's more than one. So here

57:13 , we're gonna catch your hand on . You can see what am I

57:16 ? Hey fire bad. Move your away. And so that's causing the

57:21 effect in that case is the muscle cause the hand to move away.

57:25 other input can come in from other when you're dealing with polly synaptic.

57:29 very often what you'll see is you'll mono Synaptics that branch and become policy

57:35 in other areas. So, this a real, real simple model

57:38 look, I'm just focusing on this . And so that's true that one

57:42 is mono synaptic. But for every muscle that is contracting, what do

57:46 have to do? I have to a antagonist muscle, Right? And

57:53 not being shown in this picture, it? So, you can see

57:57 there are other factors that we're not looking at. We're just trying to

58:01 it down and just kind of look what is what is mono versus

58:06 We also have different types of reactions are gonna be referring to the autonomic

58:10 system versus the somatic system. So automatic autonomic reflex is one that affects

58:16 organs. All right. This is again subconsciously, I have no control

58:22 it, right? But for um we'll just use the heart,

58:28 ? You see someone you like, very attracted to them and they

58:31 hey, how you doing? What's your heart gonna do? Right?

58:38 you can you control that? Usually when you try to control your

58:42 turns red so you have no you're gonna give it away.

58:47 Sorry. It's just the way the works, right? So it's gonna

58:52 . That would be an example of . Autonomic does not mean automatic.

58:57 confuse it to autonomic means it does on its own. Alright.

59:03 on the other hand, is affecting . So, for example, that

59:07 jerk response, right? When I that, that's affecting a muscle,

59:12 still involuntary. I can't control It's just gonna happen. But it's

59:17 something that is a voluntary structure. muscle I control. It's just in

59:25 reflex. I can't control it. makes sense. I can't control my

59:31 ever. Alright. That's autonomic and responding to the stimuli. Give it

59:38 ? And whatever that stimuli happens to being chased by a bear falling asleep

59:44 a lecture, Heart rate goes Heart rate goes down so far.

59:53 good. Now, what we're gonna is we're gonna shift gears. All

59:59 ? And we're moving into the spinal . Now, Most textbooks, when

60:04 introduced the nervous system, they go the brain and they work their way

60:08 to the spinal cord for some this textbook goes backwards. I don't

60:12 why they chose to do it this . I don't think it's wrong.

60:15 just different. Alright. So we're start with the spinal cord and as

60:20 progress to the last couple of that's when we'll deal with the with

60:24 brain and its structures. So spinal exits out through the base of the

60:32 . What's the name of the whole Ayman magnus, the Alright, it

60:38 enclosed by the bone of the vertebral . So, here's an example of

60:44 , you can see there it's right the center, there is your spinal

60:48 . All right. Just like the and the structures inside the inside the

60:54 . It's gonna be protected by that fully encased in bone. It is

61:00 by those meninges. And it has spinal fluid just like we saw.

61:04 there's a subarachnoid space. So all things are in place surrounding the spinal

61:10 . All right now, what we're do is we're gonna divide it up

61:13 like we divide the vertebrae, we're have a cervical region, A lumbar

61:17 . Student order cervical thoracic lumbar, um regions that we're gonna use to

61:25 mark the individual spinal nerves and the nerves are the are the points that

61:31 exiting out through these for amina uh go off into their different areas.

61:39 right. So each of those represent little things that look like centipede legs

61:45 the beginnings of the spinal nerves. . And that would be peripheral nervous

61:49 . So when you hear the word , peripheral nervous system, right.

61:54 don't have nerves in the central nervous . When we looked at the the

62:01 looking at the brain, we said have gray and white matter. And

62:06 we're gonna be looking here again. and white matter. All right?

62:10 depending upon where you're located, you're to see that the shape of the

62:13 cord changes here. This we're trying look at a more round area.

62:16 you'll see for the most part it's of more oval and there's gonna be

62:20 that are gonna be more oval than . All right. So it's kind

62:23 flattened here, both on the posterior on the anterior side. We can

62:28 there's two grooves on the anterior It's referred to as the anterior or

62:33 dorsal medial sulcus. It basically divides left from the right and on the

62:38 side, ventral or anterior medial So focus on the post airier fisher

62:44 the anterior um Different areas are gonna doing different things and we'll see why

62:52 just a moment. But you can generally speaking, here's your central canal

62:56 we refer to and then surrounding that the gray matter and then surrounding the

63:02 matter is the white matter. this stuff is representing the white

63:11 So what does white matter? All ? Remember we said when we were

63:15 about white matter. White matter represents And then when you're talking about the

63:21 , what it represents, Myelin ated . Yeah, mine and excellence.

63:29 what do you think the white matter the spinal cord is my eliminated

63:35 Alright. And what they are is representing fibers that are moving to the

63:43 and we're really not to the but to a specific area of the

63:46 cord before fibers are gonna exit out the periphery and up to the higher

63:53 of the brain. All right. , what we refer to these as

63:57 refer to them as tracks? All . So all this white matter represents

64:02 going up and down. So if going up we refer to them as

64:06 sending. That means they're going from spinal cord to the higher portions of

64:10 brain. It could be the brain , it could be the brain itself

64:14 be even the cerebellum, right? they're traveling down there coming from those

64:20 areas and typically what those tracks represent fibers coming from the same location to

64:27 at the same location. Alright, they're going up to some location where

64:33 coming down from that location to that area. Now we refer to the

64:38 areas of white matter as funicular because fun Niculescu funicula sauce and their name

64:47 where they're located. So over here on the dorsal side or the posterior

64:52 . So we refer to this as posterior dorsal fin, Nicholas and we're

64:57 basically divided in half funicular as plural singular. So this would be the

65:04 or dorsal over here, on the that's lateral. Over here, in

65:07 middle, on the bottom side, anterior ventral funicula. So it just

65:12 you locate and so you can just that circus in that fisher and you

65:17 each half is a mirror image of other. The gray on the other

65:26 is shaped kind of like a I think I used that before,

65:31 . And it has the different regions the butterfly are referred to as

65:39 And again, they're named on their . So up here, that would

65:43 the dorsal or posterior horn. Over on the side. This doesn't do

65:47 real good job of it, but would be the lateral horns. Sometimes

65:50 see it kind of sticking out over . That'd be the lateral and down

65:53 on the bottom. That would be anterior or posterior horn. And what's

65:59 about this is that there is organization it. They each of these regions

66:04 a type of fiber that's coming into area. And what is gray

66:10 Gray matter is where what portion of cell neuron is located, The cell

66:16 , right? So this is where is taking place. So when we're

66:20 about these reflexes notice when we let just go back a couple slides

66:25 Alright, when we're looking at these , look at where where these fibers

66:29 located, right there in the gray . And so these dot portions represent

66:36 bodies. So when we're processing information the level of the cell of the

66:43 cord, we're doing it in that matter. Come on, white

66:50 gray matter. Alright. So there a functional organization doing this is what

66:54 color coding is gonna represent over All right. So, you can

66:59 the different areas without the color sitting here and what they're trying to

67:02 They're trying to show you sell bodies this side. Alright, So,

67:08 the dorsal horn, what we have we have a different fibers coming in

67:14 there is a cell body of that fiber. It's going to be located

67:18 the ganglia. It's called the dorsal ganglia is part of the peripheral nervous

67:22 . We will get to it on but you see that fiber continues in

67:27 it terminates here inside the dorsal So information entering into the spinal cord

67:36 going to terminate on cell bodies located the dorsal horn. So sensory input

67:43 cell bodies of inter neurons processing that uh that sensory input are located in

67:50 dorsal horn. Now they go to areas. So you can see here

67:56 color coding is like look information that stays up high information that's visceral comes

68:01 little bit lower, clear to the horn. But as long as you

68:05 right now that dorsal horn equals interneuron sensory input, not producing sensory

68:12 receiving sensory input. You're in good . Now the inter neurons are going

68:18 process information and they serve to send to the different fiber and that fiber

68:26 goes on to the starts the letter . What causes the effect. So

68:34 called an effect. Er Alright so neuron that leaves is going to be

68:43 in both the lateral and the anterior . The lateral horn is reserved for

68:55 information. So let's say food enters stomach. It that signal that recognizes

69:03 stretch of the stomach is gonna send signal via the sensory neuron and it's

69:08 come in and it's gonna arrive in dorsal horn. The interneuron is going

69:13 send a signal to the autonomic fiber is going to be located in the

69:19 horn. And that signal is then down to a structure in the stomach

69:23 tell you that's what's going on. lateral equals autonomic different right Different fibers

69:33 leaving. That leaves just one option for the interior horn, anterior horn

69:41 somatic. I step on a What do I want to do with

69:47 foot, lift it fiber that goes the muscle to cause me to lift

69:53 foot is gonna be a somatic in , right? It's a muscle.

69:57 what am I gonna do? I'm find the cell body of that different

70:02 in the anterior horn. So posterior horn inter neurons receiving sensory lateral

70:12 different fibers for the autonomic nervous posterior horn cell bodies of different fibers

70:20 the somatic system. And that's it's organization. So that is that

70:32 I mean when I say it Yes, but do you think that's

70:35 hard thing to understand? Three different , three different types of cells?

70:40 . It's not like there's 30 cells . Yeah. Yes. So ventral

70:49 anterior. Right is going to be and it's gonna be somatic. If

70:56 the all the inter neurons are located the dorsal horn. Where the where

71:01 cell bodies. I mentioned it. the cell bodies of all the different

71:04 located right over here in that Okay. We'll deal with that on

71:14 . Alright. Yeah, lateral horn is gonna be different, right?

71:22 not somatic. It is autonomic. right. So, say it

71:29 dorsal horn, inter neurons receiving sensory , lateral horns. It's gonna receive

71:38 signal from the interneuron but it's sending signal. So the cell bodies are

71:43 different fibers for the autonomic system. autonomic, different anterior or ventral horn

71:51 information from the neurons. But sending . So the cell bodies are different

71:58 somatic. So somatic, different Now. There's nothing here that you

72:07 seen already. we're just reiterating some . Alright so meninges, their continuous

72:13 the meninges that we saw in the . So that means all three of

72:16 are still there. The dura This is the unique thing is

72:21 Not double layered like we saw in cranium. Um It's going to provide

72:26 and it's just gonna extend between. you can see here this is trying

72:30 show you where the dura matter is . All right. The Durham matter

72:36 all the spinal cord and keeps going . In fact it extends beyond the

72:40 of the spinal cord and keeps going further and further down to about the

72:44 to S. Two. Alright. still have CSF in the subarachnoid space

72:50 you can kind of see here see little tiny lines right there trying to

72:55 them. Can you see them in little cartoon? Those are called lenticular

72:58 ligaments and what they do is hold spinal cord in place. So are

73:04 bendy? I mean mostly bendy and of us are stiffer than other.

73:08 are we bendy? Yeah I can this, I can do that,

73:11 can do that. So our spinal allows us to move or our vertebrae

73:16 us to move in that way. our spinal cord has to be has

73:20 be moveable as well. But we to stay in the center of that

73:26 structure and so these structures the lenticular ligaments hold them in place. So

73:32 as we move it maintains the position the spinal cord so it doesn't get

73:42 . Our last little slide here. more anatomy. All right. So

73:46 you can see the spinal cord that removed the vertebrae out of the way

73:51 color coded it. So you can the different regions you can see here

73:55 spinal nerves and spinal nerves are named where they exit between the introverted.

74:00 mina right? For a singular form plural. And so you can see

74:05 see one. How many server Cold bones do we have? We

74:10 seven. So we start above and go down. So we see

74:14 Then we see 12 4 thoracic here five and then down below. You

74:21 see there's five spinal nerves for the region. So the nerves are named

74:25 where they exit. Alright. One through S. Eight.

74:30 One through T. 12. One through L. Five.

74:34 One through S. Five. If you look at the spinal cord

74:40 this doesn't do a good job of it. But we'll see it in

74:42 couple of pictures a little bit There's a region here and there is

74:46 region in here where the spinal cord fat. Not real fat. But

74:51 like if it's like this and it of expands out like that big and

74:54 get small again these are called the . And they represent the point where

74:59 nerves are going to be leaving to nerves to the lower limbs and the

75:05 limbs. Would it make sense that be more fibers leaving in those particular

75:09 to innovate your arms and legs relative your abdomen? Yeah. So that's

75:14 you have the enlargement, you grow than your spinal cord does. In

75:21 words, your body grew faster than spinal cord did. So your spinal

75:24 is a lot shorter than your And so as a result, your

75:28 cord ends somewhere around L. One . Two. This is why when

75:33 do um um Now I'm blanking on name again. Uh the epidurals

75:41 When we're doing we go about where . four is because it's below of

75:46 the spinal cord should be. We want to poke the spinal cord with

75:49 needle do we would be damaging. . What we want to do is

75:52 want to get into that pocket where just nerves. And so what you

75:56 see here, here's a whole bunch nerves traveling down. Now notice the

75:59 cord in here, but the nerves traveling down that area where the nerves

76:03 traveling down, looks like a bunch horses. Hair like in the tail

76:08 a horse. So they named it the kata Aquafina horses but that's what

76:15 name is, right? So all stuff reference is that wanna now the

76:21 tip of the spinal cord right where that's located, It's called the

76:25 medical arts. That's just the very of the of the spinal cord.

76:30 lastly we have a um basically it's ligament that comes all the way down

76:38 attached itself right down to the base the vertebrae. We refer to that

76:45 the film. Terminally, basically it's fiber that basically says spinal cord,

76:50 gonna keep you tight so that when move and stuff the spinal cord doesn't

76:55 flop around. So we have the it ligaments that are holding it on

76:58 side, the film terminology, that's it down at the bottom and that

77:02 that spinal cord in position. So we come back, what we're gonna

77:06 is we're gonna dive into the peripheral system and we're going to start looking

77:11 how the spinal nerves are organized. questions you're just like, get me

77:17 of here, it's a lot of . Alright guys, have a great

77:21 , I'll see you on
