00:02 All right, y'all. So this the last slide we were looking at

00:06 when we left and what we're gonna is we're gonna finish up with the

00:08 today. Um We're gonna look at transduction. That's really the, the

00:13 of the crux of what today is with regard to vision. Then we're

00:17 jump over the ear. We're gonna with hearing, we're gonna deal with

00:21 or balance whichever way you want to it. And then we're gonna start

00:24 through uh the motor pathways and I know how far the motor pathways we're

00:29 get my slides, push us like through, but I don't know what

00:33 gave you guys. And so we'll um it's gonna feel like there's a

00:38 of slides today, but many of are just gonna go click,

00:40 click, click, click because it's of an animation. All right.

00:43 , um I don't want to go this. I just want to remind

00:45 we were talking about rods and cones the differences between them and what they're

00:49 used for. Do you remember these the photoreceptor cells and what we were

00:53 is that one of, one of first things we were saying was,

00:56 , um the rods and the cones like differentially located within the retina.

01:02 . One is responsible for uh seeing light. One is kind of responsible

01:06 seeing in the dark and this particular right here is trying to demonstrate where

01:11 gonna find rods and cones. And what you're doing, uh anyone here

01:15 on going to optometry school? thinking about it. OK. Um

01:19 ever been to an optometrist to see pair of glasses, pair of

01:23 you know, contacts, you you know, when they come at

01:26 with that big giant bright light and shine it into your dark pit of

01:29 soul of an eye, right? we said that's all black in

01:32 This is what that picture looks That's what they see when they're going

01:35 there and looking. OK. So looking into the the space of the

01:41 , all right. And so this what they see and you can see

01:44 . This is directly behind the So that's called the macula in the

01:49 of the macular luia, this little indent that you kind of look at

01:52 the images that's called the phobia You'll see blood vessels and this point

02:00 the blood vessels are entering, which visible is also the same point where

02:05 optic nerve is located, right? call this point, the optic disc

02:10 the optic disc is your blind Now, were you kids, did

02:14 ever do the, uh, optic the blind spot test where they put

02:18 a two dots about three or four apart? And you actually look at

02:21 dot And you just kind of bring piece of paper in and then the

02:24 dot disappears. Have you done No, it was something they showed

02:28 like in third or fourth grade. see. Um And basically what it's

02:32 you is where this blind spot is you have no photoreceptors there. And

02:36 just the point at which all those from all those ganglion cells are actually

02:40 up together and exiting as the optic , right? But what I wanted

02:45 point out here, so first, should know what these things are.

02:47 macula is directly behind the phobia That's where all the uh cones

02:53 all of them, but most of . And if you're to map it

02:56 , this is what this is, a map. It's saying look

02:58 we've done this, we flattened it . And if we count up all

03:01 number of cones, the green line the cones. You can see as

03:05 out here in the periphery, there's a lot of cones, but all

03:08 a sudden you get to that phobia is basically nothing but cones. You

03:12 use a picture to kind of guide way. And then if you look

03:15 the rods where the rods is, , well out here the rods are

03:19 frequent. And then when you get the Phobia and, and specifically at

03:24 , uh, yeah, the Phobia , uh, there's, there's

03:27 it's all cones, right? And it's just kind of a way to

03:32 of visualize where these things are and of gives you an impression of what

03:37 responsible for. So that clear vision see moving forward, what we've talked

03:42 is because of the cones, the vision you see out here on the

03:46 , that's partly cones, but it's the rods that take place or that

03:51 involved in that. Now, one the things we're gonna see this,

03:55 , this term adaptation twice when we about the eye is the first time

04:00 we're dealing with the question of the rods and cones we said are

04:06 for one light vision and one is vision. That doesn't mean you can

04:11 in the dark there has to be sort of photon available, right?

04:15 like if you wake up in the of the night to go to the

04:18 , I know you guys don't have do that like old people do.

04:21 you know, on that rare you know where you drink like

04:24 a big gulp right before you went bed, you have to get up

04:26 like four in the morning to go , you, you get up and

04:29 you look around, you can see there's a little bit of light shining

04:33 the shades or through the, through window and you can see around the

04:37 well enough to understand what's there. . So, for example, you

04:42 see your dresser, you might see big pile of laundry in the

04:46 It might be a pile of It might be a monster. You're

04:48 quite sure, but you, you at least see it, right?

04:53 that type of vision is what the are responsible for. All right,

05:01 , when they're hit with light, basically respond very, very quickly.

05:07 what we do is there's, we're see this process. It's a,

05:10 a recycling process. And what happens , is that once they're excited,

05:16 takes them a long time to adapt back now to visualize that or to

05:23 that. Have you ever been to matinee? You know, like a

05:26 matinee? Right. And you go you watch the movie, it's nice

05:29 dark and then you go outside and Texas sun hits you, you

05:33 it's like three o'clock in the afternoon you can't see a thing.

05:37 It's because your, your pupils were dilated, right? And it's used

05:41 being in the dark and then you outside and all of a sudden it's

05:44 every light photon on the planet is hitting your eyes. And so what

05:49 do is we call that bleaching where literally, we've activated all the rods

05:55 the cones are kind of overwhelmed and like, ah, and then people

05:59 , you know, you know, really, really tight. But it

06:02 take that long for you to be to start seeing outside, does

06:05 But if you do the opposite, you go from a very, very

06:09 area into a dark area, it a long time for you to get

06:13 to that dark because remember the rods the ones that are responsible for that

06:18 . They didn't take a lot of but because they've been bleached the entire

06:21 while you've been outside, they are about 20 to 30 minutes to adapt

06:26 to those low levels of light. gonna show you how that happens.

06:32 , what we refer to this as this is just an example here is

06:35 , I mean, these are this is not really what you're,

06:38 this is like what dark vision is , right? I mean, you

06:40 see the objects but then it's not clear the details. But in when

06:45 , you know, if this was , this is, you can see

06:47 different colors really well, you can the brightness and so on and so

06:51 . So this would be an example how your cones see the world.

06:55 is how your rods see the All right. But rods don't respond

07:00 code, they don't allow you to color. What we call this,

07:05 kind of view using cones is photoop . All right. When we're talking

07:10 what the rods are, are, , yeah, what the rods are

07:13 . That's scoop. So night what you, what you would call

07:18 night vision would be scotopic viewing and can really kind of experience this uh

07:23 really early in the morning. When before the sun comes up,

07:26 you know, it's kind of you can see the details, you're

07:29 scoop. But as the sun comes , you switch over to faux topic

07:32 when at sunset, which is like 30 right now, it's the

07:36 It's like you're used to being able see stuff you're going from scoop,

07:39 there's that period of time where it's hard to see stuff and then all

07:42 a sudden it's not so hard. that's you're switching from faux topic to

07:46 vision. There's a lot of information this slide I don't want to deal

07:52 at all. I just want you understand what bipolar cells are. All

07:56 . So here's your uh photoreceptor bipolar cells are the, are the

08:02 that are downstream, they respond to . So when the, when the

08:08 receptor cell produces its greater potential, releases a chemical message that can turn

08:13 or turn off cells downstream. Those be the bipolar cells. All

08:17 That's what, what I want you understand right now. I don't,

08:22 almost 100% certain. I don't ask about on pathways and off pathway stuff

08:27 I just confuse students when I talk that. So we're gonna leave it

08:30 that. OK. Oh. And cells synapse with the gangle cells.

08:38 so photoreceptor bipolar gang cell, it helps us understand this a little

08:46 Maybe that's why I throw it OK. So what we're looking at

08:50 , we talked about receptive fields. we talked about what touch the receptive

08:53 . And I said that's not the thing that has receptive fields.

08:57 you have receptive fields in, in gustatory system, you have receptive fields

09:01 the nasal, you know, in nasal epithelium or the olfactory epithelium.

09:06 we don't talk about those because those a little bit more complex and a

09:10 bit harder to grasp visual reception and fields in, in the eyes are

09:16 so hard to understand. And we about how with, with rods and

09:21 , these receptive fields are slightly And the way that you can think

09:25 is just, it's that when you um a receptive field, you're really

09:31 here at the gang. All So the question you're really asking is

09:35 many cells are converging on that ganglion . So if you have a small

09:41 field, you'd have a gangle cell you don't have a lot of

09:47 right? So in this case, is a very small receptive field because

09:50 only have one cone terminating on that ganglion cell, right? So there's

09:56 little convergence right here. You'd say is a really broad receptive field.

10:03 it doesn't matter if I activate this , it doesn't matter if I activate

10:05 cell, that one ganglion cell can activated by all the cells downstream.

10:12 I have a broad or a large field. And this receptive field is

10:18 ultimately gives us the acuity in our . OK. So remember when you're

10:25 forward, is it acute? Are clear? I want, I'm,

10:32 remember if it's not go see your , right? Yes, it

10:37 All right. So what that tells is that in the phobia in,

10:40 should have very, very small, tightly packed receptive fields. But over

10:48 it's kind of fuzzy, right? can see this stuff, but it's

10:51 crystal clear. So what we have you're moving further and further away from

10:56 phob and central, we're gonna have and larger receptive fields. All

11:03 it gets the job done, But it's not so clear as what

11:08 see when we're straight on. All . So receptive fields are gonna vary

11:13 size and they give rise to this of converge or this degree of

11:18 Now, sometimes this hits, sometimes misses this slide. All right.

11:23 have grown up your entire lives with TV. All right. I grew

11:29 with black and white television. Isn't weird? We had a color

11:35 But you also had black and white . S remote controls. They didn't

11:42 . Not until about 76. I'm can see gray hair stories. I

11:51 tell anyway what I like to use help you understand acuity is to understand

11:59 evolution of television. The evolution of back until about oh, I don't

12:06 , 2000 most TV S were what call standard definition. All right,

12:11 definition is 4 80 P. You heard that term 4 80 p and

12:16 that refers to it refers to the of pixels that go from the very

12:21 of the screen to the very bottom the screen. So you can literally

12:24 all the pixels and that's how many are there. And then somewhere around

12:30 or so HD became really, really . Now there's multiple definitions of

12:35 That's more of a marketing gimmick. stations don't want to use. True

12:39 . True HD is 1000 80 So in the same space that you

12:46 over here, you're going to have of 480 pixels, you'll have 1000

12:49 80 pixels. All right. So means the pixels are smaller to fit

12:55 that same space. And so that you greater acuity. Would you agree

12:59 this is a lot clearer than Yeah. And then the marketing geniuses

13:04 the number. So we now have pixels. I think it's 2048 and

13:09 call that four K, which is . That should be two K but

13:13 K sounds better than two K, it? Yeah. And so now

13:17 that same space from top to you now have 2000 plus pixels.

13:21 this clearer than that? Yeah. this is an example of having

13:27 very small receptive fields, right? receptive field for each of these are

13:33 smaller and smaller as we go. as we get smaller and smaller,

13:38 terms of receptive fields, we get acuity. Does that kind of make

13:43 now? All right. So that's I kind of show that because

13:48 that small receptive field is what we in the Phobia cents. All

13:53 right there in the very center of retina, that's where the light is

14:00 sent. So that the image is , very clear. And as you

14:03 further and further away, that's where gonna get those larger receptive fields where

14:08 gonna be fewer cells. Um really the better way to do it

14:13 there's going to be more cells converging that ganglion cell. So there's fewer

14:17 cells in terms of concentration, I'm to briefly explain this, but don't

14:25 terribly caught up in it. One the things that you'll see very often

14:30 that you'll have within a receptive something that's called a center versus a

14:35 or an on or off system. the idea here is again, it

14:40 to do with the visual processing that prior to information actually getting to your

14:46 to your brain. All right. here we are, what's this cell

14:50 here, generically photoreceptor cell, what's cell? What's this one down

14:58 Ganglion cell? All right. And we had these weird cells in the

15:02 , right? We have a layer and we have a layer here.

15:04 one that's here is called the horizontal because they're horizontal, right? The

15:11 of the nomenclature, right? What is telling you is like look for

15:16 specific receptive field, right? So our receptive field based on the

15:20 we actually have two ganglia that are with this one receptive field. But

15:25 we have is we can see that receptive field has a center region and

15:29 an outer region. And what this field does is that when light hits

15:34 receptive field, it hits in the , it activates this cell, which

15:39 inhibits and makes sure that this pathway the outside is not activated. So

15:45 the only signal that comes in is one that says, hey, uh

15:49 center region has been activated and so this does is it creates a perception

15:54 greater contrast. Have you ever looked like a, an apple or

16:00 You know, just a round object you got that little shiny bit that's

16:04 to you, right? You know I'm talking about? Anything that's,

16:08 has kind of a, a rounded . Um Here's the rounded surface,

16:14 guys see how it's kind of shiny and then it kind of fades away

16:17 that. That happens not because the is hitting this and not hitting

16:22 the light is hitting this all the . But when that light is coming

16:26 and reflecting to you, it's hitting cells like this so that it accents

16:32 center and makes the outer portions more so that you can perceive the contrast

16:40 those two things. That's what these of receptors fields at. This is

16:45 an example of how modulation takes place it gets to the brain. And

16:52 have these types of modulation systems that with color, deal with light,

16:57 , deal with um black versus white , all sorts of things. So

17:05 they're kind of the center versus all right, but I just wanted

17:10 just kind of show you that all right, modulation takes place and

17:14 doing the modulating? Well, it's place so that I'm activating one gangland

17:19 another. That's kind of what I'm to get at. Not likely you'll

17:23 a question on this because this is . But I want to show you

17:27 eyes are not simple. Optometry. is four years because complex doesn't take

17:35 much to learn all the parts of eye. OK. So what I

17:41 at the beginning class is we're gonna most of our time talking about photo

17:46 um the, the, the visual visual cascade, the visual processing what

17:53 looking at in this picture here, can see we have a rod,

17:56 the outer segments, you can see little pancake things on the inside.

17:59 are the discs, it's these disks all the action in the photoreceptor is

18:04 place when we're dealing with the they don't have the disc. It's

18:07 the outer membrane folds over itself to these structures that look like discs,

18:12 it's the same sort of process. we focus on the rod because it's

18:16 . But understanding that the cone kind does the same thing on these

18:21 We have a protein that is a transmembrane protein. And we've seen proteins

18:31 this over and over and over This is a G protein coupled

18:38 Again, Doctor Wayne. Really? , we teach it over and over

18:44 because it's everywhere. Now, this is called photo pigment. Now,

18:51 whole thing is photo pigment, not the transmembrane protein, the transmembrane protein

18:57 called sin. All right. And already bound to its ligand. You

19:04 what a ligand is? It's a that activates another molecule. The ligand

19:09 is this right here. It's retinol is half of vitamin A.

19:13 you take vitamin A, it's this then you just take another one and

19:16 flip it over and connect them. what vitamin A looks like. All

19:21 . So retinol exists already bound to , which is the weirdest thing ever

19:25 this is a G protein coupled receptor aren't supposed to be bound to the

19:30 . But this is a system that created to be able to detect

19:35 Now sin is uh has the specific amino acids that are, are located

19:45 it that are tuned to different wavelengths light. So rods have a specific

19:53 molecule, the three cones that we have specific molecules. So we call

19:59 sin and, and, and the is called red. The ones that

20:04 in cones are photos and, and absolutely imperative that you memorize these

20:10 right? What do you think? , of course not. Right.

20:15 idea here is just that OK, have three different cones, they have

20:17 different wavelengths that they respond to and have different maximal. All right,

20:22 don't care that you know, please do not under any circumstances.

20:26 your time trying to memorize those. . But you should know that they're

20:31 . You're used to calling them green and red. All right.

20:35 you probably heard that your blue your red cones, your green

20:38 And that's these, these names are poorly used. They're, they're not

20:44 . What's better is to use the , which refers to the wavelength of

20:49 that they respond to so short, and long. But we're, we're

20:54 gonna get all fanciful about that. just rods, there's three different

20:58 OK. Now, because there's three types, they respond quite differently to

21:07 . And so you'll see usually charts this and notice this chart has a

21:11 bunch of different things. It has range in which blue cones are being

21:15 , the range in which red cones stimulated, the range in which green

21:18 and the range in which rods are stimulated. So notice rods are stimulated

21:24 the visual spectrum, right? The are specific portions of the visual

21:32 but rods don't play a role in color. The way that we understand

21:38 is dependent upon the ratios in which of the different cones are being

21:44 Now notice I said ratios, all . So if you look at this

21:48 , look at what it says normal or normalized absorbents. So it's

21:54 saying absorbing 0% to 100% right? it's basically saying how active is this

22:01 cone? And so if I'm being something like blue light. Well,

22:07 blue light. Well, what can do is I can go through?

22:10 , what did I say up here uh I'm saying 5 60. So

22:13 as well use the example I have . So 500 there's 5 55

22:18 So here is my blue cone being at all. What do you

22:24 No. So we'd say it's 0% . What about my green cone?

22:29 it being stimulated? What do you ? And about I said about 80%

22:37 mean, this is eyeballing it. making up numbers, right? Then

22:40 go up here again. What about ? Well, red is being maximally

22:44 probably about 100%. So our perception this color here, right is this

22:52 of greenish yellow. It's kind of into the yellow from green is a

22:56 of all three of those cones being in a different in a specific

23:01 0% blue, 100% of the red 80% stimulation of the green. Now

23:07 this is not mixing paint. This like going and trying to figure out

23:12 pigments I'm using. This is just about how active those cells are and

23:16 cells send the signal up to the and said I was activated by this

23:21 . So it's the number of action that it's receiving and it's doing it

23:24 each of these cones and the brain , OK, well, I got

23:27 activation of this 80% and 0%. is this perception. Now, I

23:37 you to look, you guys remember old Roy G Biff. You learned

23:41 G Bi as a kid, Where on Roy GB? Do you

23:45 that color right there? What color that pink? Do you see pink

23:51 Rogi yet? Do you perceive Huh? What's going on here?

24:01 , this refers to wavelengths. How colors do you think you can actually

24:07 Roy G bis? How many colors plus G plus E seven?

24:13 Ok. How many colors can you if you had to write dental

24:17 How many do you think you can more than seven? I like

24:22 Guys are probably I'm gonna ask you , how many colors do you think

24:25 can perceive like nine? Because you to put black and white in there

24:31 well? Yeah, that's about as as we get, you know,

24:35 ladies. How many colors of blue you think up of like eight

24:42 Right? Guys are just like it's , right? But how many colors

24:46 you think you can actually perceive if had to guess a number, throw

24:54 number at me 2000. That's But not enough. 100,000, you're

25:03 better. Not enough. Keep She said 500,000, 1.4 million

25:13 Some women have 1/4 cone and that goes up to about 14 million.

25:25 , can we actually name those No, I'm sure there's somebody who

25:30 name those colors. They'll come up like Arctic mist and, you

25:33 weird things like that. But the here is that because of the way

25:38 cones behave, we get different It's not the question of the

25:44 right? The wavelength matters because that's you're actually using to stimulate. But

25:50 the amount of light that you You know, there's other factors that

25:55 our perception of color. But the I want you to walk away with

26:00 is that red cones don't detect green cones, don't detect green and

26:08 cones don't detect blue, blue cones along a very broad spectrum, red

26:17 , a very broad spectrum and it's degree of activation of each of those

26:24 in combination that matters. OK. women can see colors better than

26:31 but you already knew that. All right. So color blindness is

26:38 result of a missing cone. So they talk about red, green,

26:42 blindness, all right. Let me up here for a second. You

26:47 not need to know this. This here me just throwing information the genes

26:53 encode for those sins. The red the green are basically a duplication,

27:00 ? So whenever you have a gene , that means they do kind of

27:03 same thing. But over time there's mutation and so they become slightly

27:07 This is a completely different gene. so what happens is is when you're

27:11 about red, green, color you're basically knocking out one of those

27:15 and I can't remember which one is . And so what ends up happening

27:18 that you lose. It's basically saying is always zero. So the brain

27:24 perceives the stimulation of that cone because is no cone with that particular

27:31 And so that's why they, they with that. And if you've ever

27:35 the charts of what red, green blindness is, it's not like you

27:38 see red. It's just things the best example would be van

27:44 If you go look at some van pictures, they, they have these

27:48 unique colors to him because he was blind. And so he just painted

27:52 world as he saw it and he those colors and they don't necessarily match

27:57 the world really looks like for those have three coats. And again,

28:02 do people with four cones have? the way, chickens also have four

28:05 . Why they have four cones? have no idea. Dogs have two

28:09 . They can't distinguish between yellow and , which is why if you take

28:13 tennis ball and throw it in the , they have a real hard time

28:16 it. They have to actually see it lands. So if, if

28:20 throw it where they can't see They have to hunt and they have

28:23 sniff it out. It's pretty All right. So this is

28:29 where we want to go is photo , photo transduction is like the mouse

28:34 game, right? It's A to to C to D to E.

28:37 what we're looking at here is the list of all the proteins that are

28:41 here. How big is that It's five proteins. So it's not

28:45 bad as some. All right. what we're gonna see is that

28:49 it's not particularly hard and I'm just walk through. So I'm gonna show

28:53 what your book has and then we're show you how I set it

28:56 All right, because it's easier for to do the animation that way I

29:01 break up the books, photo. right. So over here we have

29:07 molecule, I've gotta make sure I'm at the right thing. It's color

29:10 pink, it's ate cycles gate, job is to take this molecule

29:16 It's just a nucleotide just like a , right? And what it does

29:20 it cleaves off two of the phosphates bends that phosphate around and make

29:24 GMP. So M one T All right. And the C at

29:30 beginning means I've taken it and I've it around, right. So,

29:35 , we have another molecule, we our photo pigment. So there's our

29:39 pigment. Remember it's a G protein receptor. So it's coupled to a

29:42 protein. This was the very first protein ever discovered. So it got

29:46 special name. They call it translucent , oh, it's, it's something

29:50 and interesting. And then they discover all over the place. So we

29:54 a photo pigment, we have All right. When we activate the

29:59 , we're going to activate the transducer is going to activate another molecule called

30:02 dia. Now, there are hundreds phospho dias. So we don't distinguish

30:07 one this is, but a phospho is responsible for taking cyclic GMP and

30:14 that cyclical portion of the bond and it normal GMP. OK. So

30:20 changes its shape and whenever molecules change , they behave differently, we've learned

30:25 , right. OK. The last in our little picture here is we

30:29 this channel, it's called a cyclic gated channel. And really what it's

30:34 you is what binds it cyclic Do we have a cyclic nucleotide in

30:38 little model up here? What's it her? It's right there. Cyclic

30:44 . OK. So cyclic GM P's is to bind up the channel.

30:49 you bind up, the channel opens the channel and things come in.

30:52 right. So, so those are things that we're gonna be looking

30:55 Now we're gonna walk through and we're see how they all work together.

30:58 right, So this is my Again, the colors match what you

31:02 the previous thing. But this is for me to manipulate this picture over

31:07 . So you can see, I've some, some, some things around

31:10 kind of put them in order. your cyclic GMP, here's your photo

31:13 . Here's your transduce, there's a Dira, there's your channel.

31:19 So it's all there. Now, first thing I want you to look

31:23 is what's going on while it's right? We want to ask the

31:27 , what is a photo receptor cell when there's no light? OK.

31:32 this is kind of weird because when think about a cell at rest,

31:35 ? Because dark would be, I'm activating the cell, there's no photons

31:40 . So at rest, I expect cell to be doing nothing. But

31:44 it's doing something. See the gate is active, it's always active,

31:51 always turned on. So it's always GTP and it's always making cyclic

31:57 So I got lots and lots of GMP inside the cell. The more

32:01 GMP I have the greater chance it's to find and bind to the channel

32:06 open up the channel if I open the channel sodium comes into the

32:11 And so I end up with a of sodium inside the cell. If

32:13 have a lot of sodium inside the , what do I say? The

32:16 is? If I have sodium flowing a cell, it's depolarizing. So

32:24 the dark, my photoreceptor cells are . And when I have depolarizing

32:30 what are they doing? You if it's a neuron, it's releasing

32:34 message. And so that's what your receptor is doing in the dark,

32:40 active and it's signaling to the bipolar . Now, if you've been paying

32:47 at all, you know, that cells are downstream of and are being

32:52 by these photoreceptor cells. And you're wait a second. But I see

32:56 the light, I don't see in dark. You're telling me that my

32:59 cells are active in the dark. , it's backwards to what you would

33:07 . I'm not activating it by I'm gonna be turning off my cells

33:11 the light. Now, why do do that? It's a biology

33:17 The biggest biology problem is always how I make a cell most efficient in

33:21 of energy consumption? There's more We are not nocturnal creatures. We

33:27 creatures of light. And if I to see in the light, I

33:31 to use less energy. So it's dark. I use the energy.

33:35 flipped it all around. OK. in the dark, I'm always making

33:42 GMP I'm opening up my channels. is coming in. I'm depolarizing the

33:49 . When I depolarize the cell, cell is active. All right.

33:53 step one. Now, this is we've never talked about because reasons,

34:01 don't know why we don't ever teach part to you. All right.

34:04 if sodium work to constantly flow into cell, would equilibrium ultimately occur.

34:10 do you think if you're trying to up a glass, will it eventually

34:14 up completely? So, if sodium always flowing in the cell during the

34:18 , you'd expect the cell to fill with sodium and then it wouldn't be

34:20 to do anything. Well, that true. That's what would happen.

34:24 what we do is in order to that there's always sodium flowing in the

34:29 in the dark, we have to a current, we have to remove

34:31 out of the cell. This is is referred to as the dark

34:34 So we have our channels open, is going in sodium flows into the

34:39 . We need to get rid of sodium. So we got to pump

34:41 out. We're going to use the potassium A TPS pump. Have we

34:44 this one before? Yeah. So means we pump potassium in.

34:48 we want potassium to escape because if much potassium comes in, well,

34:53 we won't be able to pump the out. So we have leak channels

34:57 allow the potassium to leave. And what happens is is sodium is constantly

35:01 flow. So in the dark, creating this depolarization and you're making sure

35:07 it stays depolarized because of the dark . OK. So that's all the

35:13 current is it ensures that sodium can into the cell. But we don't

35:18 about the dark. Do we? wanna know how we see things?

35:23 how do we see things? this is where light comes in.

35:29 here you can see up there at top. I got a little photon

35:33 comes zipping into your eyes. It zipping through the ganglion cells, zipping

35:37 the bipolar cells hits one of these cells finds one of these discs.

35:42 . There's a photo pigment inside the pigment part of that is retinol.

35:47 a photon comes along and hits that molecule. Now retinol exists bound to

35:54 pigment in the CS configuration. I'm flip the slide real quick. So

35:58 can see what I'm talking about. right. So in the dark,

36:02 is what retinol looks like. All , it's in the 11 confirmation.

36:07 if you were to count up the , that would be the 11

36:10 And so you can see the tail kind of crooked like. So

36:13 if you go back and look at picture, see I even drew,

36:19 it's a crooked little tail up See what that photon is.

36:27 it's a packet of energy and that converts that bond, it twists it

36:33 that it moves it from this 11 into this all transformation. You ever

36:39 why you take organic chemistry so that understand those words that I just told

36:44 that is the only reason it is vocabulary class so that you can do

36:48 in your biology classes. Do not the chemistry department. I said

36:52 Mhm. All right. Now, we've done here is if you can

36:58 I have in my hand, this the molecule in there. I have

37:03 little tiny cys confirmation of retinol. I change the shape of the

37:09 what have I done to the shape the receptor? I changed it.

37:18 , no, I mean this, , I've straightened but I've changed the

37:21 when I change the shape of a . What happens? I change its

37:27 . So here we already have the in place, but it's an inactive

37:32 . What we've done is we've activated ligand through the adding of that energy

37:36 changing the shape of that tail. now what we've done is we've activated

37:42 photo pigment. OK. Now, we said that we have different photo

37:47 and different cells. So they're gonna attuned to different wavelengths of light which

37:50 different, different energy forms, but doesn't matter which one we're looking

37:54 they all do the same thing. here, what we're doing is we

37:58 activated our molecule. Now, once activate the, the retinol to

38:05 to transform, we've got to go uh fix it. So when I

38:09 about bleaching your eyes, you bleaching these receptors. That's really what's

38:13 on is we've kicked that bad boy and we got to change it back

38:16 its original shape. We'll get to in a moment. What we're focusing

38:19 now is if I activate a I have to activate the G

38:23 Right? So the change in the here because of the change in the

38:27 here is normally bound up to this . This GDP and it says,

38:32 , I'm no longer attracted to kick you out and I've created a

38:35 binding site that act that is attracted GTP. Now, G protein is

38:41 GTP ace, meaning it breaks the in that last phosphate releases the energy

38:46 it can go do stuff. And what we're doing here is by taking

38:51 energy here, changing the shape we're changing the shape here so that

38:54 can activate that. And so it that GTP and says, all

38:59 I'm off to do something. What I do? Well, the alpha

39:03 , remember G proteins have three Remember way back when we talked about

39:07 they're hetero trime, there's an alpha a beta gamma. Some people are

39:11 in their heads, the rest. going crap. I need to go

39:13 and look at my notes, But that alpha goes on and it

39:19 that phospho dia and when it finds phosphor Diaa, it uses the energy

39:25 in that GTP to turn on the . So that's what it's doing.

39:31 taking that long and says, all , I've got my GTP with the

39:34 . Let me find the phospho. , there you are. I

39:37 hang out over here. I break energy and say, hey, you

39:39 my energy and you're like, sure, I'll take the energy and

39:42 you take the energy and then what energy does is that it activates the

39:51 estates. And so you start breaking the cyclic GMP. Remember we're making

39:56 GMP, but we start breaking it as fast as we can make it

40:01 not faster. So the inside of cell you start losing the number of

40:06 GMP available, less cyclic GMP less available to open up the channel.

40:11 the channel doesn't have cycle GMP to it up, it closes. If

40:16 channel is closed, sodium can't come . We still have a pump.

40:20 pumping out that sodium as fast as can. So the levels of sodium

40:25 the cell go down if sodium is inside a cell, what do we

40:31 that? What do we call the ? If it's depolarizing if I get

40:36 of sodium, huh. He had polarization. So now the cell is

40:41 polarizing and it's no longer sending a . So in the dark, I'm

40:49 and I'm releasing chemical message in the . I'm hyper polarizing and I'm not

40:55 a chemical message that was five or slides just to kind of walk through

41:02 steps. This is a summary slide put it all in perspective right here

41:07 am in the dark. Here I in the light, you can see

41:09 dark because it's darker, right? it just says everything that we did

41:13 the dark. What is our Right. Well, you can see

41:17 dark current moving along but basically say in the CS form as far as

41:20 is concerned. That means the sodium are going to be open because I'm

41:25 making that cyclic GMP. So the membrane depolarizes and when that membrane

41:31 it's going to cover the entire So that even down here that we're

41:36 depolarization that causes the release of a . That neurotransmitter is stimulating the

41:42 Now, how is it stimulating the ? Well, what we're releasing the

41:46 means go, sorry, if you're , green means go. So I'm

41:50 an inhibitory neurotransmitter. I'm preventing the cell from firing. So in the

41:57 , I see dark because I'm not a signal down to the ganglion

42:01 I'm preventing the signal from moving And so if I'm blocking my bipolar

42:09 , no activation. In contrast, do I have? I got the

42:15 retinol right? Light came along, the shape of the retinol in the

42:21 . I basically chew up on my GMP that means the channel is

42:24 That means I no longer have sodium into the cell. It means my

42:27 is hyper polarized that covers the entire . So I no longer release this

42:33 neurotransmitter. Two wrongs don't make a but three wrongs make or three rights

42:39 a left. I don't know something that. Um No, but it's

42:42 if I say if I have a negative, right? You learn this

42:46 math, two negatives equal a right? And so as we

42:50 we have no inhibitory neurotransmitters, so negative. So what we're doing is

42:54 saying do not release the inhibitory So that means a cell right here

43:00 depolarize and it does so on its , it kind of behaves kind of

43:04 these cells do where it's not the that causes them to fire. They're

43:09 a natural state of wanting to It's when you stimulate them that they

43:14 firing. So it's the same sort thing here. This will naturally start

43:19 . So the gangly un cell downstream activated. So you perceive light.

43:26 it's backwards how weird. But this energy efficient. Keep the cell

43:38 inhibit the downstream cell. The cell polarizes, that allows the downstream cell

43:46 become activated. And I perceive light the signal goes from the bipolar cell

43:52 the ganglion cell, from the gangle up to the visual cortex, which

43:56 get to here in just a I think this slide is just

44:02 It talks about, oh, I why I have it here. So

44:05 talk about adaptation that there is a adaptation. The process of adjusting to

44:10 light intensity, right? This idea oh, if I go into a

44:15 space, it's gonna be hard to because I have to re uh fix

44:22 , or readjust or modify those trans , turn them back into cyst

44:28 All right. And then as far light adaptation, it's basically,

44:31 I've got lots of light. my cones can do this quickly,

44:35 I still have to change all that back into its form. All

44:39 So visual adaptation is simply moving between two states a long time ago and

44:46 , I'm going down a tangent. really shouldn't. Um There was a

44:50 um I'm not even forgetting what it's it's called. Uh But basically,

44:57 , it was uh it was oh Mythbusters, that's what it's

44:59 You guys are not familiar with right? They did an episode on

45:03 do pirates wear ma or wear And the, the hypothesis is is

45:09 they were patches because you're dealing with dark adaptation issue, right? So

45:13 swing across to the ship, you to go in and you wanna

45:16 you're gonna fight on the, on the upper decks where it's

45:19 really light. But then you have work your way down in the lower

45:22 and it's really hard to see in lower decks because one, there's no

45:25 and two, you're used to being in the light. And so it'd

45:28 really, really pitch black. So they think is that some pirates would

45:32 one eye so that it would stay , adapted and the other eye would

45:35 light adapted so you could be outdoors all what you needed to do.

45:40 when you went downstairs, you just up the patch and then now you

45:43 see well in the dark and they to see if this was true and

45:48 created some sort of obstacle course and were actually able to see all the

45:53 they need to do in the You know, it was very,

45:55 dim. So there was light. if they didn't have the patch,

45:59 couldn't see anything. But when they the patch, they could. So

46:01 , oh, this is really Also, chick stick scars and patches

46:05 cool. So, um anyway, what I'm trying to get at here

46:11 that when we go through this we need to recycle that retinol.

46:17 so this is what is called the cycle. Now, there is a

46:21 of information in here. Please, , please do not memorize all the

46:25 . What I want you to understand that when we release that retinol,

46:29 that retinol, it has to go to the pigmented epithelium. Now,

46:34 pigmented epithelium? Well, remember it all the light. So it creates

46:37 dark environment. And then what you do is you can go through all

46:40 steps and you can re twist that back into that cyst form. And

46:44 what you do is you bind it and then you carry it back to

46:47 cell and then you load it back into the retinol. So now it's

46:53 you can use it again, cones actually do this internally, but rods

46:58 . And so one of the reason are slow is because it's dependent upon

47:01 pigmented epithelium. It takes about 10 to get full adaptation for a

47:07 It takes about three minutes. And , you can go and test this

47:11 , go stand outside and then go a dark space and see how long

47:14 takes for you to see clearly in dark space and then do the

47:18 go out into a bright space and how long it takes for you to

47:21 being able to see clearly in the . And you'll find that this is

47:25 lot quicker. It's because the cones a lot quicker. So the visual

47:31 simply is taking that trans retinol and it back into the cyst form.

47:39 right, rods need to use the epithelium. Cones will use the pigmented

47:44 , but they can also do it . Now, as far as the

47:51 pathway is concerned, where is the going? All right. So remember

47:55 , I'm turning off the photoreceptor cells activates the uh bipolar cell. We're

48:01 talking about the on off system because gets confusing. But the bipolar cell

48:05 activate a ganglion cell that ganglion cell produces an action potential that's going

48:11 And what it's gonna do is those travel along the optic nerve. And

48:17 can see that that signal is going be split between the two sides.

48:22 you have the medial sides are always to go to the opposite side.

48:27 you can see over here here is lateral, the lateral comes and stays

48:32 the same side. But over the medial which matches up is going

48:37 cross over and go to the opposite . So each eye is sending signals

48:43 both sides of the brain. We have the optic cos this is

48:48 the crossing takes place, right? it helps us to be able to

48:53 that binocular vision. So our visual is basically creating depth because of the

49:01 of our eyes and how we cross information to both sides. That information

49:07 on into the thalamus. We talked where it goes, it's the lateral

49:10 nucleus, right? Where does the go, medial geniculate nucleus? All

49:17 . And then you get some processing takes place there, the signals get

49:22 up. But the first place that's go is gonna be the primary visual

49:26 . So notice both side of the are dealing with that vision.

49:34 incredibly complex stuff that's going on I don't want you to focus heavily

49:39 what what all these things are. have different types of cells, we

49:43 parvo cells that deal with spatial Color. I love the terms

49:48 So color is is processed in areas blobs. And then the space in

49:54 the blobs are the inter blobs. mean, so that's part of part

49:58 the reason why I just throw, those things at you. I'm not

50:01 be asking how these things are I've looked at these maps and remember

50:06 studied biology for a long time and look at these things and it's just

50:10 uh I, I don't understand because just don't have the the bandwidth to

50:17 the stuff that they what they're All right, if I had

50:21 I could probably spend some time. usually I get really bored very quickly

50:24 start thinking about cartoons I used to . And uh when I was like

50:28 years old, I'm showing this also you because remember what I said about

50:32 cortex that there's six layers and the has depending on where you are have

50:38 layers. So this just kind of you there are those six layers and

50:41 have different densities. And so each these different layers, you can find

50:45 things. And so this is kind showing you that map. So this

50:50 layer four. And over here they're you where the magnocellular cells are

50:55 which play a role in black and contrast. And over here, they're

51:00 to show you where the parvo cellular are located up there in layers two

51:04 three. All right. I'm not ask you what layers of these things

51:09 in because I'm not gonna remember All right, I just want you

51:12 understand that we're taking that visual information we're not like creating film in our

51:20 . Everything we see gets broken down its subsequent parts, the contrast,

51:25 colors, the form movement function, that stuff is broken down and it's

51:31 to all these very weird places. not going to ask you what is

51:35 four responsible for? This is trust me, it's complicated slide.

51:42 . So this is just trying to you look. So V one,

51:45 your visual map that just tells you the light's coming from, right?

51:50 if light's hitting this portion of my , it's a specific portion of my

51:55 that's being stimulated over here in V kind of how we talked about M

51:59 . Do you remember how we talked M one, the motor uh homunculus

52:03 the motor cortex? How it has specific organization, visual cortex maps to

52:09 retinas. All right. So that's your brain knows where information is coming

52:14 . So if you actually get a retina or if you get a wrinkle

52:19 your retina, that's why you just sick all the time because your brain

52:22 trying to process information because it expects to be coming from this particular

52:28 It means it's in this part of retina. And if your retina

52:31 your brain doesn't know how to deal that. V two visual memory V

52:37 processing motion, object orientation. It's spatial positioning color. That's the blob

52:45 V five perception of motion. Some if you're ever interested, look up

52:52 see how they figured some of the out. They had to take cats

52:55 they started doing stuff to their brains then they would do movement and they're

53:01 , oh look, the brain is active. So, so that's vision

53:08 I spent an hour on that just catch us up. Are there questions

53:14 visual transduction, the depolarization versus hyper , the things in the pathway?

53:25 . Questions about how he perceived No. How many colors can we

53:34 ? 1.4 million? And if you to Home Depot, you'll see all

53:39 different names that people have come up . Literally green, green,

53:45 red, red, red. I'm guy. There's eight colors plus black

53:51 white. Let's get to the ok? With the ear, we're

53:57 with two different things we're hearing and . There's three parts to the

54:01 the part of the ear that you of is the outer ear, the

54:04 ear, we have the middle If you take your finger, you

54:07 can't reach it because that's still you stick your finger and jam it

54:10 there, that is still external ear then the middle ear is where we're

54:15 going to be transmitting information. So what all this stuff is. And

54:19 what we're gonna do is we're gonna a little tiny membrane and then we

54:23 into the inner ear. The inner is represented by this structure here.

54:28 right, there's actually two different apparatuses . One that's for hearing, one

54:31 for balance. We have the the cochlea looks like the snail.

54:36 what cochlea means. Snail shell. that look like a snail shell?

54:40 is like an alien snail. You see it has all this weird stuff

54:43 on. So this right up this is the vestibular apparatus collectively that's

54:48 vestibular apparatus and it's there where equilibrium , is is detected. So,

54:55 balance or equilibrium and that would be inner ear. Now, this structure

55:00 gonna be hard on the outside on the inside, it's fluid on

55:04 inside. All right, we'll get all this structure. What we need

55:07 do is we need to walk through quickly through the external ear. So

55:10 , that weird looking thing on the of everyone's head that is called the

55:14 . You'll also hear the word pea . Sometimes I encourage you to find

55:18 and look at their ear for a while and look how weird it

55:21 It is a weirdly structured. It like an old desiccated apricot. All

55:28 . Stairs. Look at somebody's ear a little bit. You'll see.

55:31 like, oh my goodness. It . It's weird. It has these

55:34 and bumps and it doesn't make any . It's basically cartilage covered with skin

55:38 its job is to direct sound to auditory canal. All right, or

55:44 ear canal. That's what you'd probably it. This is referred to as

55:48 uh uh the external auditory or external meatus. So it's not me.

55:54 a me a I said, meet for years and someone finally correct me

55:58 , look at what an idiot you . Yeah, that's true. I

56:01 . All right. And what this is it takes a sound and it

56:05 that sound to the last structure with , which is the Timpani membrane which

56:08 call your ear drum. So tim and it's basically a membrane that separates

56:14 external ear from the middle ear. sand waves hit it, it vibrates

56:17 the frequency at which the sand waves are hitting it. Now inside the

56:21 auditory me. Uh we have um a sermon glands. Um, we

56:27 , as I say, yeah, , well, some hairs and those

56:31 kind of point this direction and it things from working their way down into

56:35 ear. So basically keeps the canal , mostly clear every now and then

56:40 have to get a Q tip and that stuff out. Um Just

56:43 you know, if you, there's different types of ear wax and

56:46 it's actually genetically determined. So you have dry ear wax or you might

56:50 wet ear wax. You notice I mean that your ear wax is

56:55 of those two types dryer and that's determined by your genetics. And I

56:59 remember is there's Asian is one and like uh Eastern European and Africa is

57:06 the other. Let's see it All right, moving inward, we

57:11 the middle ear. So this is referred to as a Timpani cavity.

57:16 region right in here. This is you're gonna see three bones and a

57:20 of muscles. We have three 123. And what this does is

57:24 takes that vibrating, they're connected to timpani membrane as the timpani membrane

57:28 it causes the bones to move and transferring and amplifying those sound waves.

57:35 we have the uh maus the incus the staples they're named for what they

57:40 like. So it's basically the the anvil and the hammer. So

57:45 Anvil syrup is the order in which go through. And just behind the

57:49 is a, a structure, it's membrane that goes to the interior called

57:53 oval window. And so what you're is you're transferring the vibration of the

57:58 membrane to the oval window so that vibrating at the same frequency. But

58:03 the oval windows, you have fluid so you need to amplify that frequency

58:10 that you can make the fluid inside structure vibrate. There's two muscles in

58:17 . One is called the tier One is called the Sted. And

58:20 job is to modify the movement of uh bones ever been to a concert

58:29 been to a concert uh picked right in the front, in front of

58:31 marshall stack. Yeah, the guy out hits that first riff and what

58:38 you do? Right. That's, actually a reflexive response to protect the

58:46 . Right now, these muscles are to contract to diminish the amplification that

58:53 seeing from here to here. So you have really, really loud

58:56 they constrict so that the bones don't quite as much, but they're a

59:01 slow. And so it takes a bit of time for them to

59:05 So you can actually damage your And so part of the reflex is

59:10 prevent that. But over time notice a concert doesn't sound so loud.

59:13 the, you know, a couple minutes right now it's just big

59:18 Right. And you can sit there bang your head or whatever it

59:20 Sing along with Taylor. I don't . I had a friend go to

59:26 concert. She dressed up to the nine yards, uh, different types

59:34 deafness. Yeah. And I'm, be honest, I won't be able

59:39 , to identify all the different I'll show one type. All

59:43 But really if there's damage here, can bypass. That's what the cochlear

59:49 is, right? It's basically bypassing . But if there's damage to the

59:55 inside the cochlea that do the that's a lot harder to fix.

60:01 then there's also nerve damage that you do. All right. So we

60:06 the bones, got the muscle. then you see down here we have

60:09 tube, we call it the but they are now starting to call

60:13 the auditory tube because people's names are or something. Um, but the

60:18 here is this allows this space to equilibrated to the external environment. Anyone

60:24 ever popped your ears before like right. What are you doing?

60:29 , you're using your jaw muscles to of spread open the, the

60:33 And now what you're doing is you're the air behind the timpani membrane with

60:37 air in front of the Timpani If you've ever played with a

60:41 if you, if you create pressure the membrane of that drum. It

60:46 a less uh less vibrating sound. other words, it's, it's

60:53 And if you've ever had a clogged , right. You know, you're

60:55 taking off in an airplane, go different altitude, you'll start noticing,

60:59 feel the pressure build up and you'll that it's harder to hear. It's

61:03 the tian membrane isn't vibrating so So what do you do? You

61:07 your ears? If that doesn't you can always do this. All

61:14 . And if it's a little kids on airplanes carry lollipops because they suck

61:19 those. And it does the same . Just a little trick for your

61:25 . Dumb dumbs are your friends, dummies? Dumb dumps. All

61:32 Moving to the inner ear. This where all the action is taking

61:35 All right. So I said on outside, it's bony on the

61:39 We have kind of a soft gooey . It's really a membranous labyrinth.

61:43 picture does not show this. This is showing you the bony portions.

61:47 right. So what we said is have the cochlea. All right.

61:50 we have this vestibular apparatus. You see it actually has two parts to

61:54 . It has this region down which is not being labeled. This

61:58 is called the vestibule. All if you go to somebody's house,

62:02 is the vestibule right inside the open , that's where you greet people.

62:11 . So that's the vestibule. All . And then you see 123

62:16 these are called the semicircular canals because are semi circles. All right.

62:28 what we're saying. All right. that's on the outside. Now,

62:31 is fluid inside these and what it , it's called para limp. And

62:35 very similar to the interstitial fluid. . Where interstitial fluid is between cells

62:42 these structures. You're going to see membranous material and inside the membranous

62:48 There is another fluid, it's called , which is very similar to intracellular

62:52 . All right. So kind of are kind of backwards here.

62:56 if you look at the three so in the cochlea, we have

62:59 cochlear duct in the vestibule, we a couple of organs, one is

63:04 the uomo saccule. And then we the semicircular canals, we have the

63:09 circular ducts and it's these structures where gonna find the receptors for the different

63:17 that the ear is doing. So cochlear duct is responsible for hearing.

63:21 has an organ within it called the of corti. Um They also call

63:25 the spiral organ. I have to to use the new nomenclature because

63:31 but these two things are for And what we're gonna do is we're

63:34 look at sound. First, we're look at how we detect sound through

63:38 spiral organ or, or or organ corti now notice here this, I

63:43 want to show you this when we you the uh uh electromagnetic radiation,

63:47 had those two weird wavelengths right This is the wave that you're more

63:52 with. So it looks like a little sine wave. What we're looking

63:56 here is that when you make what you're doing is you're causing air

64:00 or molecules in the air to compress to expand. it's called rare faction

64:04 compression, compression, rarefaction, rare faction. So you can see

64:10 , here's the compression, there's a faction and it matches up with the

64:14 sound waves in order to make I'm producing, I use energy.

64:18 so I'm making that energy cause those to move. When those molecules hit

64:23 molecules, they lose a portion of energy. And so sound dissipates the

64:28 and further away it gets from the of origin, right? So when

64:33 loud, everybody can hear me, when I whisper, right? Because

64:41 the amount of energy that's being Here, sound is characterized by both

64:45 and intensity. You heard the intensity loudness that's measured in decibels, that's

64:50 log scale. So as you go every 10, you're, you're going

64:54 significantly. When we're talking about we're talking about pitch, that's high

64:59 and low notes. All right. high frequencies, high notes, low

65:04 , very white. OK. You know who Barry White is. I

65:10 realized that. All right, here are. We're taking a slice through

65:18 cochlea. Whenever I make a reference that, you should probably add it

65:26 the list of things I need to up on youtube. OK. Barry

65:30 , who's Barry White? So here's cochlea, we're taking a slice through

65:37 . So you can see there's ring one, ring, number two,

65:39 just keeps dying up. So here's ring, there's a ring and then

65:42 just keeps going up. So you're spiraling upward. This is the cochlea

65:47 . So you can basically imagine I'm up all the way around and then

65:50 reach an apex, we call this helicotrema and then when I come back

65:54 other direction. So here is the window there, you can see your

65:58 . And so we have this one that's going all the way up.

66:02 , zip, zip, zip helima back the opposite direction. So we

66:07 names for these tubes, the tube the oval window moving up towards the

66:13 that's called the scala vestibule. So vestibular duct, that's that one,

66:18 go all the way up to the , come back around, you're now

66:21 the scala timpani. So here's the tim pan, all right, the

66:26 duct and then in between those, is where we see those two

66:31 So there's a membrane there and a there, you can see the two

66:35 . So those membranes creates a duct between them. And that's what you're

66:39 here. Notice this duct is closed itself. So we have the oval

66:45 , scala, tiny helima scala. then over here we have the round

66:51 . So oval window, first round . Second way you can think about

66:54 . If you ever play with one those stress stress ball stress toys.

66:57 like a little clown face and you the little eyes open, you know

67:01 I'm talking about. OK. So I put pressure here, that pressure

67:05 going to go all the way around it's gonna be absorbed over here at

67:07 round window. What we're interested is on here. So this membrane that

67:16 up the roof of the middle duct the cochlear duct is called the vestibular

67:22 . So the floor of the vestibule the vestibular membrane, the roof of

67:29 timpani duct or what we call the of the cochlear duct is called the

67:33 membrane. All right. And these membranes, they're, they're movable,

67:37 ? They're soft. And so you think about it like this.

67:40 they sit like that. So up , vestibular membrane down here, basilar

67:46 , OK? Basler sorry, Basler right now. All I've done is

67:52 just painted what these structures are. the action that we're interested in is

67:57 to be taking place here inside that duct. So we need to come

68:01 take a closer look at the cochlear . All right, this is the

68:05 of this is what allows you to sound. All right now inside.

68:12 you can see we have this structure inside that cochlear duct. This is

68:17 organ of cord itself pulled out. it's this stuff right here pulling

68:20 So it's nice and big. What can see is we have a series

68:23 hair cells. All right, the cell is what actually detects hearing or

68:29 is the organ of hearing. This the structure that detects sound waves.

68:34 have this stiff membrane that stiff sits top. So it kind of sits

68:40 in the middle. So if you these two, it kind of sits

68:42 in between them. It's called the membrane. It's kind of like a

68:46 board, very, very stiff. right. So it doesn't move a

68:51 . The other two can move and we have nerve fibers that join together

68:56 they form a larger structure. This called the um spiral ganglia. They

69:03 the cochlear branch of the spinal Now, let's go through these one

69:08 a time. What is the hair ? These are mechanical receptors they have

69:11 their surface, the Stoia. So not true CIA, they're modification,

69:16 very, very stiff and they're actually to each other. The front one

69:21 sits over here that's called the And then you have a series of

69:25 CIA that move away from it. so what they're going to do is

69:28 going to be able to move back forth. We have one cell that

69:32 by itself. So you can see up there at the top of the

69:35 that's been colored yellow, that is single inner hair cell. So there's

69:40 whole row of them and it just in and out of the, of

69:43 picture as we're looking at them and we have the outer hair cells,

69:47 outer hair cells are 12 and then be a third one right there.

69:51 what these are the outer hair The inner hair cell is responsible for

69:55 movement of this fluid and ultimately is one that serves as the sensory

70:02 These three modify the movement of the . All right. So in other

70:08 , this modifies uh the the movement that we can modify how we perceive

70:14 . This is actually detecting the movement . So the inner hair cell is

70:19 detector. So how does this all ? We gonna be up here?

70:24 I'm gonna use the unwound picture. right. So when a sound wave

70:31 , it hits the penny goes through external auditory me Metu hits the timpani

70:37 . The timpani membrane vibrates at the of that pitch of whatever that sound

70:43 , right? So it's just think someone pressing a button on an organ

70:48 right that creates a pitch causes causes timpani membrane to vi vibrate,

70:54 causes the malis to vibrate the incus vibrate and the staples to vibrate.

71:00 what it's gonna do is it's gonna the oval window to vibrate at the

71:04 frequency. But because I have fluid that I need to amplify. And

71:10 the purpose of those bones is to the, the frequent or not the

71:15 but the loudness to make it more . All right. Now I'm gonna

71:20 something dumb here. But I want to visualize. Have you ever uh

71:25 to the pool with a uh a or a girlfriend and got under the

71:30 , looked at each other with goo eyes and said something stupid like a

71:36 ? If you talked underwater. Have ever talked underwater? You didn't have

71:39 be with the boyfriend or girlfriend? just like to think, you

71:41 it's more likely that you did it recently with someone that you were interested

71:45 . When you're a little kid, like making poop noises and stuff,

71:49 ? So, but have you ever that? Have you tried to talk

71:52 you talk underwater? Can you talk the same loudness or you have to

71:55 more noise, don't you? Because water doesn't move with the same degree

71:59 ease as air does. And so kind of why you have to have

72:03 amplification. So you're not changing the , you're just changing the loudness.

72:09 so what you're doing is you're creating wave in this environment up here.

72:15 ? And that wave has a wave , all right. And that wavelength

72:21 comes in and it's gonna move to certain point along the scale of

72:27 That's what this is trying to show . So if I make high pitch

72:31 , right, that high pitch noise gonna basically find some point. That's

72:36 the front end. If I'm doing low pitch noise, it's gonna be

72:40 place at the back end. Think a keyboard like on a well on

72:45 piano one end you got the and other one is the same sort of

72:52 . So the frequency determines where that is coming and this is just trying

72:58 show that right. So here you high frequency, here's low frequency and

73:03 , we've unwound the cochlea so that can visualize it. All right,

73:08 that wavelength can be like this or can be like this right now where

73:16 frequency uh hits. In other it's not gonna go um It's not

73:22 go ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti. Oh This is

73:25 I stop. It's literally, I so big that this is where I'm

73:29 cause displacement of the vestibular membrane. I'm just gonna go back a

73:35 All right. Number a point. let it work, right. So

73:41 I have a very short frequency, gonna basically cause displacement of the vestibular

73:46 here. If I have a low , it's way gonna be here.

73:49 I'm some place in the mid, displacing the membrane some place in the

73:53 region. All right. And that's cause the membrane wherever that displacement is

74:00 go down, it's gonna cause the to move. Right. So I

74:05 fluid. Here's my vestibular membrane, vestibular membrane moves, I have a

74:10 bunch of fluid in here that if move this membrane, what's gonna happen

74:13 the fluid right here? If I this, what's going to happen to

74:18 fluid? If you squeeze a tube toothpaste, what happens is the toothpaste

74:23 the middle where you're squeezing it moves . So I'm getting movement of this

74:29 . Now this membrane, the Basler also moves and so I can get

74:33 Basler membrane to move. So wherever see displacement, that membrane, both

74:37 vestibular and the Basler membrane are going move. All right. Now when

74:42 happens. So here's the Basler Remember the tectal membrane is very,

74:48 stiff. I always pick on I I'll pick on you today.

74:52 right. Put your arm straight out just right. So she's a text

74:56 memory. Look how stiff her memory , it stays right there because it's

75:05 stiff. See, look at See, it stays right there.

75:08 I have a uh the basal the vestibular membrane and I'm moving like

75:14 , and it's staying stiff and on basal membrane, I have hair

75:17 What they're doing now is as they , they're gonna detect the movement of

75:22 fluid underneath there. Right? Uh I, I don't have three

75:27 . If I had three arms, do that. All right. And

75:31 what happens is, is that as go up and down, the fluid

75:35 around those hair cells and the hair are being bent back and forth.

75:40 , really, the only one that's interested in is the inner hair

75:44 So as the inner hair cell is moved back and forth, it's actually

75:50 and closing channels on the hair cells it to depolarize. And because the

75:57 represents where high notes and low notes depending upon where I'm stimulating that hair

76:04 , that hair cell only detects that , right. So if it's a

76:12 wave that has a frequency of 1600 hair cell at 1600 detects that all

76:17 other ones don't move the sound wave through, right? So it goes

76:23 causes the basal membrane to move and it continues on, I'm going backwards

76:29 . So it basically comes in, through and then that sound wave moves

76:32 this way in the round window. it bulges and absorbs the energy so

76:37 it doesn't keep going back and forth how we talked about how light goes

76:41 and doesn't come out, right? that would be bad for vision,

76:47 energy goes in and gets lost. gets dissipates there. So as I'm

76:54 back and forth, I'm detecting the of that membrane and the movement of

76:59 , of the fluid through that hair . So this is what the hair

77:04 is doing, right? It opens closes. So if I move towards

77:09 cannoli, I'm gonna depolarize. If move away, it's gonna close.

77:13 basically what I do is I produce potentials, then I stop, ax

77:17 stop. And it's those action potentials then move down those uh down through

77:23 spiral ganglia and out through the vestibular sorry, the cochlear nerve to the

77:30 to say, guess what you just this frequency. Now that's really,

77:37 slow motion. Listen to my I make a lot of interesting

77:41 don't I, I mean, you understand my words, but in

77:46 I'm just making a bunch of ah , right? But your brain takes

77:52 and it's working up and down that . Sometimes things are being activated at

77:56 same time, some things are some things are softer and all that

78:00 is being processed at the level of cochlea and then it's sent onward into

78:06 auditory pathway. So frequency depends on I'm actually stimulating amplitude. How

78:17 how much movement do I have is a little bit of movement or is

78:21 a lot of movement, the more I have more acu potentials I

78:31 So this is what the sound It goes through that oval window through

78:37 vestibular membrane causes a movement in the duct detected by the inner hair

78:44 The sound wave continues through the Basler and then dissipates at the round window

78:50 the hair cell, I produce an potential that action potential. So there's

78:55 basal membrane, that action potential goes through the vestibular cochlear nerve goes to

79:01 cochlear nuclei. That kind of makes , doesn't it cochlear nerve to the

79:06 nuclei right up to the superior Here's that other crazy word, the

79:15 colliculus telling us where sound is coming and then on to the medial geniculate

79:24 . I mean, I actually had learn these for a reason.

79:26 And then on to the primary auditory so that I can distinguish what the

79:30 actually is. So I'm not making , words are coming from my

79:39 Now, again, if you look the cortex, it's to of typically

79:43 . So it matches this. So you were to map the keyboard of

79:51 auditory cortex, it'd go from high to low notes. Now, there's

79:55 lot more complexity in there. Uh not gonna get to, but that

80:00 of just gives you the big picture back to the outer ear, why

80:06 ear is so shaped. I want to take a look at the person's

80:08 next to you. Just, just take a look. How

80:12 Isn't that weird looking funny looking Since you're too shy, I'll,

80:17 show you my ear and see how look like. It's not like a

80:23 dish. It doesn't point things, that shape helps us to map the

80:29 of where the sound comes from. is trying to show you like here

80:32 have sound and it's showing you how is being bounced off those little

80:37 weird little rims that we have, know, and what it's doing is

80:41 directing the sound through that acoustic and upon where the sound comes from and

80:49 it's reflected, it will hit the geniculate nucleus at different times. And

80:55 that timing difference that our brain uses determine direction of sound. So vertical

81:06 , basically, it's how it's being on that, on the horizontal

81:12 High frequency sounds wavelengths are really, small. So you create a sound

81:18 . If you've ever seen, if can go, you can go and

81:20 up a wave shadow. If you like an island and a bunch of

81:23 hitting the island, you'll see that waves kind of go around and create

81:27 like Eddie behind it. But that's of what's happening here is there's like

81:31 Eddie of sound waves behind and so hitting the right ear, not really

81:38 the left ear. So your brain , oh, that's coming from the

81:41 hand side. All right. But they are low frequency, sounds the

81:46 in which it hits this one and hits that one are different. And

81:49 it uses that timing to as, a, as a way to detect

81:56 . All right. So it's the does that kinda makes sense here?

82:02 about the the pathway? It's a bit hard but I mean, just

82:07 of walk it out, go through membrane. What are the bones?

82:10 is the oval window? What is doing in the vestibular duct? Why

82:15 it passing through the vestibular membrane? does it pass? Why does it

82:19 at this particular point? That's all the frequency, right? What does

82:24 do when it gets into the cochlear ? Why do the hair cells

82:27 What's the purpose of the tectal Ask those questions while you're studying?

82:32 it will make this process clear for . Don't just sit there and look

82:36 the picture and go OK. I got it. All right.

82:43 that? I'd say. Have you been to Astro World? But it

82:47 longer exists. Uh They have this at and I, I know they

82:51 it at the aquarium downtown. And you go to six flag, what's

82:54 one in San Antonio? The six in San Antonio Fiesta, Texas.

82:59 you. Seen that. Fiesta Anyone like to ride that bad

83:06 Yeah, I fell off a I fell off a cliff broke and

83:10 got a big old hole in my . Talked about this. I know

83:13 that's like, you know, at very bottom it doesn't break and everyone

83:15 . Oh, that was fun. you hit and splat and it hurts

83:18 lot. So I, I did my favorite but this is what would

83:22 a vertical movement you wanna drive like . This is how I think I

83:28 . Not like a woman. I I look cool when I drive

83:34 My natural speed is around 80 miles hour. You know, don't get

83:39 my way. You just don't be . That's, that's my motto.

83:42 be traffic. All right, that be horizontal movement. And then this

83:46 what I was describing. If you understand what I was saying the other

83:49 about the, the human gyroscope. it is 123 rings. You get

83:53 strapped into that spin, one spin the next ring, spend the

83:56 ring and they all go on different . So your movement is all in

84:00 directions, have a couple of shots tequila before that and you will be

84:05 life. You will understand the hardness , of parting hard. All

84:13 what we, why I'm showing you 33 things is because these three things

84:19 like or are similar to the three of movement that our brain detects vertical

84:23 , horizontal movement, angular movement. . So we have different structures that

84:28 responsible for that for the vestibule has two organs, the utricle and

84:32 These are also known as the otolith because they have odors and you're

84:37 I don't know, otolith is, worry, we'll get there. All

84:40 . But they're distinct because the semicircle do not have otoliths. All

84:44 So these look at the linear movement your head. OK. That's really

84:50 . It's all about. What's your doing, right? So, linear

84:54 would be vertical and horizontal, semi canals. You have three of them

84:59 they're in three planes. So they're the X, the Y and the

85:01 plane. And what they do is look at angular acceleration along those three

85:08 . All right. So that's the way to think of these, these

85:13 . So we'll start with the semi canal. So remember what we said

85:17 that there is a duct in the semi circular duct, you can

85:21 that here, there's these bulges. here you can see the 3123,

85:26 have these wide regions that are called . So here's the Aula inside the

85:32 . You have this speed bump It's called the cupula. I'm gonna

85:37 go ahead right now and just warn three of the words we're gonna use

85:40 with LA. We got an Ampulla . We're gonna talk about a macula

85:44 a second. So slow yourselves down you read these things. All

85:49 an Aula is the broadening spray space . It is the Ulla. It's

85:55 speed bump. All right. And have fluid that sits inside that

86:01 Now, you have a all three . When you move your head,

86:06 inertia of that fluid is first static then it begins to move after you

86:11 . So when you go, what's ? The fluid in there is sitting

86:16 and then your head moves and then fluid moves after you've moved your head

86:20 when that fluid moves, it causes cupula to move, right.

86:25 it's pressing on the cupula to cause to bend inside the cupula. That's

86:31 you're gonna see hair cells, which the mechanical receptors. They have the

86:36 and so when they bend, they're detect the movement of the cupula or

86:40 , that's what they're doing. So when we were hearing, we were

86:44 not the sound waves, we were the movement of fluid that was moving

86:49 the same frequency as the sound So it's not a detect direct

86:55 same thing here. I'm not detecting movement of the body. I'm detecting

86:58 movement of the fluid, right. so when I turn my head,

87:04 of my semicircular canals are are facing so So here's the canal in the

87:11 plane. So this would be where ample is located. So I have

87:15 facing inward, the other one facing other way, right? So when

87:19 turn the K Kcia are being bent opposite directions, so that those signals

87:26 both sides of the brain tell my oh, the hair over on this

87:30 is basically causing rapid action potentials. on this side is is not.

87:35 you're turning your head to the left if I turn my head the other

87:40 , the Kia flipped the direction and tells your brain, oh, you're

87:44 your head to the right because of direction of the bending of the hair

87:47 . Now, this sort of angular occurs like even when you're looking up

87:51 looking down, right? Or if being spun in a circle, if

87:56 ever laid down on a merry go . Did you ever do that?

87:59 your kids let you, did your let you go play on playgrounds?

88:03 , they did. Were you allowed go on the merry go round?

88:07 anyone shaking their head. Yes. . Lie down on the merry go

88:13 . Spin really, really fast. get up and it's like that was

88:19 , right? But that's the three planes, the X, the Y

88:24 then the Z. Yeah. So what the semi circum canals do.

88:32 as a couple of ways the hairs when the hairs move. That's just

88:36 you the degree of movement in that plane. Pretty simple. The otolith

88:43 we said are responsible for vertical and movement. All right, I'm gonna

88:48 out for a second. You guys doing vectors way back when. All

88:54 . So vectors have two components. you don't remember them, think about

88:59 me. Vectors have component number one magnitude. The second one is

89:10 See that's why you go back to me because the villain vector, I

89:14 crime that has magnitude and direction. All right. So what is magnitude

89:25 direction where I'm going? If I'm in the vertical plane? Do I

89:30 magnitude or do I do I have ? Yes. Up and down.

89:35 I have uh do I have horizontal in the vertical plane? Do you

89:42 how vectors are actually shown? They an X and A Y component?

89:48 you do have a horizontal component. is the horizontal component in the vertical

89:54 ? Zero? Right. I'm telling this because we're gonna keep it basic

90:01 . Vertical, horizontal is horizontal. when you move at an angle,

90:06 have both a vertical and a horizontal so both are being stimulated to a

90:12 degree. OK. So with that mind, first, let's go and

90:16 do the basics. All right. I tried to highlight things to make

90:20 easy so that you can see the to help you remember what goes

90:23 What? All right. So the organ which is found in the

90:28 there's two of them. We have mac or sorry, we have the

90:30 utricle saccule. What they have is are basically this goo like structure

90:35 You can see the goo like structure underneath them hair cells just like you

90:39 in the saccule, right? So hairs are embedded in that macula,

90:46 also embedded in the macula are a of crystals. These are the

90:50 The otolith is calcium carbonate. And that calcium carbonate crystal does is it

90:55 mass to the macula. So if were to take your macula and put

90:59 on its side, it would want droop because it has mass to

91:04 that kind of makes sense, It's like putting fruit in jello,

91:09 will move. But if you put in it, it moves more vigorously

91:13 it has greater mass. Right each of the hair cells are associated

91:20 a nerve fiber, they come they form the vestibular nerve. So

91:25 nerve joins up the cochlear nerve. where you get the vestibular cochlear

91:28 OK. So that's the easy So when I move the inertia is

91:35 to be felt by that greater mass cause that movement of the macula,

91:40 is going to be detected by the cells. So what do we

91:44 We have the utricle the utricle has hair cells in the vertical position.

91:51 . So vertical position. So when utricle moves, what I'm doing is

91:57 bending the hair cells back and So I'm detecting horizontal movement.

92:04 I'm in the car driving fast. I'm looking at the saccule, the

92:10 has the hair cells in the horizontal . So when they bend, I'm

92:17 movement in the vertical plane. This the dungeon drop, the elevator,

92:24 . Ok. So, Saccule detects in the vertical plane. Utricle detects

92:29 in the horizontal plane. When I much younger, my friend had a

92:34 GT back when they actually made muscle with six cylinder plus eight cylinder plus

92:39 cylinder engines. And he wanted to if his car really went 0 to

92:45 in what they told us. Have ever tried that? See how fast

92:49 car can actually get going. This awesome. We're on a straight

92:54 He's looking at his watch like I'm gonna tell him whether or not

92:57 going off the road. We did to 16. I think it was

93:01 five seconds. It was awesome. one of the, those each corsa

93:09 the movement? Which one made me like I was being pushed into my

93:14 utricle. There you go. All . Now, when your head is

93:20 erect, you're not gonna to detect sort of changes when you, when

93:24 move, just like we described that , you're gonna detect it. Utricle

93:29 saccular. Those are really easy. that's not the only time you're gonna

93:32 them. This is where we're coming . And I said, look when

93:35 look up, yeah, the semi canals were looking at angular movement.

93:39 my utricle and saccular are both involved that because they also detect that

93:46 When I tilt my head, the , those um, those otolith organs

93:52 being pulled towards the earth, so play a role as well. All

93:58 . So when you nod your head and forth, we're gonna say on

94:02 test, it's the semi circular But in reality, what is

94:08 Semi circulars, utricle and sacu. . All of the things play a

94:15 in detecting the movement of the It's just which ones play which role

94:20 your movement is all three at the time. But we just keep it

94:26 head in the horizontal plane. That's driving fast head in the vertical

94:33 That's the dungeon drop. That's the . OK. You're gonna remember that

94:41 the exam. Simple on the OK. Wow. I got to

94:48 I wanted to go. Are there about equilibrium? Questions about, question

94:53 , question about semi circular canals. one wants to know whether or not

94:58 mackerel tastes good because it's jello cherry . You just wanna go home,

95:08 you? No questions? Really? right. Let's talk about the motor

95:17 . What is the motor pathway? do you get a sense when you

95:21 a motor pathway? What do you we're trying to do? Move?

95:25 who's talking to? Who are my ? Talking to my brain or my

95:28 ? Talking to my muscles? Say loud. Say proud brains talking

95:34 don't be afraid, brains talking to muscles. So we're looking at pathways

95:39 are moving downward, right? The time we talked, we talked about

95:43 dorsal and the lateral anterior in, were talking about somatic century pathways,

95:48 way is where somatic century going down . I'm taking information into my

95:54 Now I'm taking information and telling my what to do. That's what the

95:58 pathways are. These are polysynaptic So there's many different parts of the

96:03 that are gonna be involved in a sense. What we're gonna do is

96:07 gonna start at the cerebral cortex or brain stem, but mostly cerebral

96:13 we're gonna travel down the spinal cord we're going to go down to our

96:16 organs. Remember, effector organs simply a fancy word for saying the thing

96:21 does the effect. So we're talking muscles, we're if we're talking about

96:24 , but motor also refers to the . You know, when you start

96:29 about the salivation, right? And start salivating, that is a motor

96:36 causing the glands to produce saliva. now. Functionally, muscles are the

96:44 that are skeletal muscles in particular is movement. All right. But that's

96:50 what motor pathways are limited to. also autonomic, right? So if

96:54 are involved, we're dealing with you can't make yourself salivate, but

96:58 can start thinking about food which will you to salivate, right? Think

97:04 lemon, lemon drops. You guys like lemon heads. If you think

97:08 lemonheads for a while, does that you go right back here?

97:14 posture. Do you guys think about posture a lot? Thank you for

97:17 up, right? Usually I point out, I will see people sit

97:22 . I have actually even the middle sit ups and I'll watch people do

97:25 . All right. So balance when talk about balance again, we're talking

97:27 equilibrium, muscle tone. Do you to think about your muscle tone?

97:32 , I mean every now and then may go like OK, let's sit

97:35 straight and put my shoulders back, out, flatten my stomach, but

97:40 not your normal posture, right? these are things that are done in

97:46 unconscious way. So it, with to these, we're saying we're starting

97:51 cerebral cortex or the brain stem, gonna see input from the basal

97:57 we're gonna see input from the All right. So what we're talking

98:01 here is we're now saying here's the of movement. How does movement

98:07 And we're going to start throwing in these different things that we've already talked

98:11 . When it came to movement, talked about the different part and said

98:13 is involved in movement. This, is involved in movement. This is

98:16 in movement, plus other stuff. we're going, here's movement. What

98:19 the things that we threw in that ? These always have two neuron

98:25 All right. So the first neuron always called the upper motor neuron.

98:29 second one is always the lower, motor neuron, right? The two

98:34 . So remember how we had, had the dorsal columns and we have

98:36 interior lateral system. This is kind what this is, is the direct

98:40 the indirect. So there's two different of pathways. What do you think

98:44 means? Go straight there? What you think indirect means? It's probably

98:49 what the direct is. It's slightly different. All right, we're

98:55 talk about lower motor neurons first because the easiest one. All right,

98:59 already spent some time. So here our, our cell body or

99:03 not our cell body, our spinal . And what we're interested in is

99:06 is the cell body located? Well, if we're dealing with the

99:10 somatic system, our cell body is where ventral horn, right? If

99:19 are autonomic, where are we going be located? Lateral horn?

99:25 So that's one of the key things we need to remember here. The

99:29 stays the same. We've already learned organization. So the cell body is

99:32 there, then we travel out via ventral route. We join up to

99:36 spinal nerve and then we travel to to the direction that we need to

99:40 . Now, here's the thing about lower motor neuron. This makes this

99:44 much easier, lower motor neurons are , always, always no exception to

99:48 rule, the absolute truth, If you want a muscle to

99:54 you need to tell it to you want a muscle to stop

99:57 stop sending the signal and it will . Ok. So we have a

100:03 that is always excitatory in the lower upper. What do you think if

100:09 is always? And I haven't talked , what do you think the upper

100:13 one or the other? Right? . Typically we have two different types

100:18 fibers. So here is a We have an alpha motor neuron will

100:24 to a region on the outside that the muscle to contract and tells how

100:29 it should contract, send the This is how much contraction you want

100:33 make. We also have a gamma neuron. The gamma motor neuron goes

100:37 into this little tiny structure called the spindle. And it innervates muscle that's

100:43 inside this little tiny structure. It contracts but it is associated with sensory

100:50 that are looking at the degree of . If these two things don't

100:54 then you're out of where you're, not in sync, then your,

100:58 muscle isn't contracting to where it needs go. Right? So when I'm

101:03 to hold something out to the if my arm starts slipping, my

101:07 says, oh, I can detect greater degree of stretch in here.

101:12 want it to this muscle. I , I want this to match

101:16 So what I'm gonna do is I'm to constrict this more so that the

101:21 thing contracts. And so that's how position my arms, my legs and

101:27 else, all my muscles because I'm to match the gamma and the alpha

101:33 . All right. So detection is in here. It doesn't do a

101:36 of work, it's still contracting, it's not actually doing the, the

101:41 work, the alpha is doing the work. So this is used to

101:45 the degree of stretch and whether or you're doing what the muscle is trying

101:50 accomplish. These muscles also dete are these fibers that uh demonstrated these pathways

102:01 somatotrope. All right. So, , as we said is basically just

102:05 arrangement. So as you move from to upper, it's gonna be

102:12 um you're more lateral, the further higher you are, you're more

102:16 the lower you are in the So basically, as you go

102:20 you're gonna find yourself going in into same position and remember this is going

102:25 be reflected again in M one in motor homunculus. So those fibers are

102:32 in a specific location that maps to specific point in the body. We

102:38 about motor units previously. And so does that motor unit remember? It

102:43 represents that alpha fiber and where it's and all the neurons that are um

102:50 sorry, all the muscle cells that neuron is going to. So in

102:55 particular case, we have 12, of them, I guess they did

102:59 terrible picture here. But all of cells are being innervated by this one

103:03 neuron. So this is a motor and produces that degree of force.

103:11 talked about delicate activity versus course Previously, we have these motor units

103:18 equally spread out through the muscle to sure that we're pulling all throughout the

103:25 . So it can do the movement you're trying to accomplish here.

103:30 we see the cortex and how the has those six layers. All

103:34 they're found uh the the cell bodies primarily found in layer five.

103:39 I'm not gonna ask you that but there's a group of cells that

103:43 playing a role in regulating uh those motor neurons or not regular, but

103:49 become those upper motor neurons. So lower motor neurons originate in the spinal

103:54 , the upper motor neurons originate here the cortex and they are traveling

104:00 they will cross over. In other , they'll deco at some point.

104:05 if I'm trying to control my right , which, which side of my

104:10 am I using my left? So originating up here in the motor

104:17 those bet cells layer five, not so important, but they come

104:21 they cross over at the pyramids most and they travel down to the spinal

104:27 . In this case, it would right down to here. And then

104:30 here are the lower motor neurons traveling down to make my fingers wiggle.

104:35 kind of makes sense. So we the cortex, this is where the

104:45 originates. Probably the meah we're going see decussation. That's the crossover.

105:03 right, we get down to the cord and where are we going to

105:10 if it's a muscle, where is gonna be horn? And now what

105:19 gonna see is the lower motor neuron then that goes on to whatever muscle

105:33 kind of makes sense. Now, you visualize that? So these are

105:42 directly uh innervate the lower mouse motor and or there might be an interneuron

105:48 place so that the signal can be . All right. And then here

105:54 uppers can be excitatory or I should this or inhibitory. All right.

106:05 , let's think about this if I lifting up my leg like. So

106:12 have a muscle that causes the contraction I have a muscle that's relaxing,

106:18 ? What's the muscle that's causing the ? What do we call that

106:25 And the muscle that is relaxing Ok. See stuff you already

106:30 I'm not, I'm not like this stuff you've already learned. Ok.

106:36 if the upper motor neuron is telling muscle, that agonist to contract,

106:41 do you think it's telling the antagonist relax? Right. So that upper

106:48 neuron is creating an excitatory signal and also creating an inhibitory signal, it's

106:56 to two different places, right? the the lower motor neuron to the

107:02 is always excitatory. The lower motor to the antagonist is always excitatory as

107:08 . I'm just telling one to contract I'm telling the other one not

107:12 which is why they're moving opposite each . That kind of makes sense.

107:18 right, we'll see how far we in this part because it all goes

107:28 . All right. So here's the cortex. We've seen this before.

107:33 typically organized located in the precentral This is where the upper motor neurons

107:41 beginning. So we've seen it in , all right. And one is

107:49 with another region called the premotor All right. So up here in

107:55 cartoon, here's the premotor cortex, the motor cortex, they're right next

108:02 each other. It has some upper neurons. But what it's primarily doing

108:08 it's working with the primary motor cortex store motor memory, it tells you

108:15 to make a movement relative to what want to do. The example I'm

108:18 here is the wave versus the high everyone wave at me. Oh,

108:22 . And you know how to give a high five. It's a different

108:28 , say muscles, right? So in context also it produces movements in

108:37 to sound movements, in response to cues. All right. Now,

108:42 does that mean? Does it mean turning my head? No. All

108:45 . Everybody, you know those types things. You know, if someone

108:51 at you, what do you You wave back the visual cue.

108:55 that's the idea. Now, it send signals directly uh down the spinal

109:01 if necessary because it has upper motor , right? But it's primarily talking

109:07 and forth here. We have two cortex that you should be aware

109:13 We have the prefrontal association cortex. also have the poster parietal association

109:20 they're helping to modify your movements. . So they're talking to the primary

109:27 , they're providing information. All Now, what the prefrontal cortex is

109:33 is ensuring that your muscle movement is , right? So it is processing

109:40 upon the information that it's receiving OK. So when someone waves at

109:45 across the parking lot, what do do? I'm supposed to wave back

109:50 smile like I know them. Even I don't, I'm gonna pretend I

109:55 who you are. All right. it's basically the proper, that's much

109:58 than flipping them off. That would , be like the inappropriate behavior.

110:02 right. So, notice what it's . It's talking to the premotor or

110:08 motor cortex as well as the premotor here with the bridal. Associate.

110:13 you're doing is you're dealing now with . OK. I'm touching things.

110:17 am I supposed to do when I things? Like when you reach into

110:21 , into your drawer to pick up and something slimy graduate. No,

110:27 , no, no, no. that's, that's not supposed to be

110:30 , right? So it also provides muscle movements based on that. And

110:38 takes that sensory information that you're, experiencing and helping you to determine how

110:43 do that movement. So the motor and the premotor cortex, that's when

110:55 talk about the direct pathways, that's we're using. Ok? I think

111:01 just gonna stop here. Yeah. we come back, we're going to

111:05 about where the indirect start and then going to kind of put all the

111:10 together and then what we're going to is finish up movement and then we're

111:14 to deal with autonomic, which is straightforward and fun. So you got

111:18 long weekend. Well, not a weekend, you have a two day

111:22 , come back, then we have Day, celebrate, have fun,

111:27 , don't blow off any fingers blow up your little part of America

111:32 not your fingers. And then one off and then the test, or

111:38 it two days off in the I can't remember. Ok. So

111:41 day off and then the test. right, final grades will be like

111:44 , on Friday next week. But see you guys on Monday. All

111:47 . Enjoy yourselves. Woohoo. Almost , almost done. Probably shouldn't be

111:55 that out
