Unit – 11:
Types of nerves- structure and functions
Brain and cranial nerves.
Spinal cord and motor and sensory pathways of the spinal cord, autonomic nervous system.
Nervous system:
Nervous system is one of vital system in our body which control and coordinate all the functions of body parts.
Classification:
Central nervous system (CNS)
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
1. Central nervous system (CNS): brain and spinal cord
2. Peripheral nervous system (PNS): Somatic nervous System & Autonomic nervous system (ANS)
Central Nervous System (CNS):
The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind.
It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord.
The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
It interprets information from our special senses, as well as from internal organs
Meninges:
The coverings of brain and spinal cord are called meninge.
There are 3 layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Dura (outer layer)
Arachnoid (middle layer)
Pia matter (inner layer)
Dura mater: The tough outer layer is called the dura mater. protect the central nervous system.
Arachnoid: The middle layer is the arachnoid, It contains cerebrospinal fluid, which acts to cushion the brain
Pia matter: the innermost layer of the meninges, the pia mater closely covers the brain.
Brain:
Introduction:
The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body.
the brain and spinal cord Together make up the central nervous system, or CNS
The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time
Diagram:
Structure:
The brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
Cerebrum (telencephalon or endbrain): is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.
Cerebellum (little brain): is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.
Brainstem: consist midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
Functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
Lobes of the brain:
Each hemisphere has 4 lobes:
Frontal lobe
Temporal lobe
Parietal lobe
Occipital lobe
Each lobe may be divided, once again, into areas that serve very specific functions
The cerebral cortex has many folds, called the gyrus (plural: "gyri") and its trough is called a sulcus (plural: sulci)

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

and coordinates activity across the whole
organism.
• Consists of two parts:
• Brain
• Spinal Cord
4. The Brain
• The brain is the most complex organ in the
human body.
• The cerebral cortex contains an estimated 15-
33 billion neurons.
• 100 billion neurons and 1,000 billion glial
cells make up the human brain.
• Brain uses 20% of the body’s total energy.
• The brain is the central control module of the
body and coordinates activity.

6. 1. Temporal Lobe
• Important for processing
sensory input and assigning it
emotional meaning
• Responsible for long term
memories
• Also involved in some aspects
of language perception
8. 3. Parietal Lobe
• Integrates sensory information
including touch, spatial
awareness and navigation.
• Touch simulation is sent to the
parietal lobe.
• Plays part in language
processing.
9. 4. Frontal Lobe
• Positioned at the front of the
brain

short-term memory,
motivation, and planning
10. Brain Regions
1. Basal ganglia
2. Cerebellum
3. Broca’s Area
4. Corpus Callosum
5. Medulla Oblangata
6. Hypothalamus
7. Thalamus
8. Amygdala
11. 1. Basal ganglia
• Control of voluntary motor
movements
• Procedural learning
• Decisions about which motor
activities to carry out
14. 4. Corpus Callosum
• Broad band of nerve fibers that
join the left and right
hemispheres
• Largest white matter structure
in the brain
• Allows the two hemispheres to
communicate
16. 6. Hypothalamus
• Sitting above the brain stem
• Roughly the size of an almond
• Secretes a number of
neurophormones
• Influences body temperature
• Control thirst and hunger
17. 7. Thalamus
• Positioned in the center of the
brain
• Receives sensory and motor
input and relays it to the rest of
the cerebral cortex
• Involved in regulation of
consciousness, sleep,
awareness, and alertness
18. 8. Amygdala
• Two almond-shaped nuclei deep
within the temporal lobe
• Involved in decision-making
• Memory
• Emotional responses: negative
emotions
20. Spinal Cord
• Carries information between the brain and
the body among others
• From the brainstem, 31 spinal nerves enter
the cord
• Along its length, it connects with the nerves
of the peripheral nervous system that run in
from the skin, muscles, and joints
• The spinal cord contains circuits that control
certain reflexive responses
• Generates complex movement: walking
21. White and Gray Matter
• CNS is divided into white and
gray matter.
• The brain consists of an outer
cortex of gray matter and an
inner area housing tracts of white
matter
• Both types of tissue contain glial
cells that protect and support
neurons.
• White matter mostly consists of
axons (nerve projections) and
oligodendrocytes
• Gray matter consists
predominantly of neurons
22. Central Glial Cells
1. Astrocytes – have numerous
projections and anchor neurons
to their blood supply. Regulate
local environment by removing
excess ions and recycling
neurotransmitters.
2. Oligodendrocytes – creates
myelin sheath that coats nerve
cells, which allows them to send
signals quickly and efficiently.
3. Ependymal Cells – lines the
spinal cord and the brain’s
ventricles (fluid filled spaces).
Create and secrete
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and
keep it circulating.
4. Radial glia – act as scaffolding
for new nerve cells during the
creation of the embryo’s
nervous system.
23. Cranial Nerves
There are 12 pairs of nerves that arise directly
from the brain and pass through the holes in
the skill. Of these 12 pairs, the olfactory and
the optic nerves arise from the forebrain and
are considered part of the CNS.
1. Olfactory Nerves (Cranial nerve I) –
transmit information about odors from the
upper section of the nasal cavity to the
olfactory bulbs on the base of the brain.
2. Optic Nerves (Cranial nerve II) – carry
visual information from the retina to the
primary visual nuclei of the brain. Each
optic nerve consists of around 1.7 million
nerve fibers.
25. • Trauma – depending on the site of the injury,
symptoms can vary widely from paralysis to
mood disorders
• Infections – some micro-organisms & viruses
can invade the CNS; fungi (cyptococcal
meningitis; protozoa (malaria); bacteria
(leprosy).
• Degeneration – spinal cord or brain can
degenerate (Parkinson’s disease).
• Tumors – cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
• Autoimmune disorders – an individual’s
immune system can mount an attack on healthy
cells (Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis).
• Stroke – interruption of blood supply to the
brain.
