FIGURE 2-3 Schematic drawing of a Nissl-stained motor neuron. The myelin sheath is produced by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and by Schwann cells in the peripheral nerv- ous system. Note the three motor end-plates, which transmit the nerve impulses to striated skeletal muscle fibers. Arrows show the direction of the nerve impulse.

FIGURE 2-2 = Schematic illustration of nerve cell types. A: Central nervous system cells: (1) motor neuron projecting to striated muscle, (2) special sensory neuron, and (3) general sensory neuron from skin. B: Autonomic cells to smooth muscle. Notice how the po- sition of the cell body with respect to the axon varies. projections that act as fine dendritic branches and receive synaptic inputs (Fig 2-5). Dendritic spines are currently of great interest to researchers. The shape of a spine regulates the strength of the synaptic signal that it receives. A synapse onto the tip of a spine with a thin “neck” will have a smaller influ- ence than a synapse onto a spine with a thick neck. Dendritic spines are dynamic, and their shape can change. Changes in dendritic spine shape can strengthen synaptic connections so as to contribute to learning and memory. Maladaptive changes

FIGURE 2-4 Electron micrograph of a nerve cell body (CB) surrounded by nerve processes. The neuronal surface is completely cov- ered by either synaptic endings of other neurons (S) or processes of glial cells. Many other processes around this cell are myelinated axons (M).

FIGURE 2-5 _ Dendrite from pyramidal neuron in the motor cor- tex. Note the spines on the main dendrite and on its smaller branches. Scale = 10 um. (Micrograph courtesy of Dr. Andrew Tan, Yale University.)

FIGURE 2-/ Diagrammatic view, in three dimensions, of a prototypic neuron. Dendrites (1) radiate from the neuronal cell body, which contains the nucleus (3). The axon arises from the cell body atthe initial segment (2). Axodendritic (4) and axosomatic (5) synapses are present. Myelin sheaths (6) are present around some axons. Transmission of information between neurons occurs at synapses. Communication between neurons usually occurs from the axon terminal of the transmitting neuron (presyn- aptic side) to the receptive region of the receiving neuron (postsynaptic side) (Figs 2-7 and 2-12). This specialized in- terneuronal complex is a synapse, or synaptic junction. As outlined in Table 2-1, some synapses are located between an axon and a dendrite (axodendritic synapses, which tend to be excitatory), or a thorn, or mushroom-shaped dendritic spine

FIGURE 2-6 Micrographs showing dendrites of dorsal horn neurons from a normal rat (A) and from a rat following nerve injury (B). Note the increased number of dendritic spines and their altered shape following nerve injury. Bar = 10 jum.

FIGURE 2-8 A: in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), unmyelinated axons are located within grooves on the surface of Schwann cells. These axons are not, however, insulated by a myelin sheath. B: Myelinated PNS fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath that is formed by a spiral wrapping of the axon by a Schwann cell. Panels 1-4 show four consecutive phases of myelin formation in peripheral nerve fibers. (Reproduced, with permission, from Junqueira LC, Carneiro J, Kelley RO: Basic Histology, 11th ed. McGraw-Hill, 2005.)

Macroglia roles, including myelin formation, guidance of developing neurons, maintenance of extracellular K* levels, and reup- take of transmitters after synaptic activity. There are two broad classes of glial cells, macroglia and microglia (Table 2-2).

FIGURE 2-10 Oligodendrocytes form myelin in the central nervous system (CNS). A single oligodendrocyte myelinates an en- tire family of axons (2-50). There is little oligodendrocyte cytoplasm (Cyt) in the oligodendrocyte processes that spiral around the axon to form myelin, and the myelin sheaths are connected to their par- ent oligodendrocyte cell body by only thin tongues of cytoplasm. This may account, at least in part, for the paucity of remyelination after damage to the myelin in the CNS. The myelin is periodically interrupted at nodes of Ranvier, where the axon (A) is exposed to the extracellular space (ES).

The inset shows axon A, and its myelin sheath at higher magnification. The myelin is a spiral of oligodendrocyte membrane that surrounds the axon. Most of the oligodendrocyte cytoplasm is extrudedfrom the myelin. Because the myelin is compact, it has a high electrica resistance and low capacitance so that it can function as an insulator around the axon. X 16,000.

FIGURE 2-13 Axodendritic synapses terminate on dendri- ties or mushroom-shaped “dendritic spines,’ and tend to be exci- tatory. Axosomatic synapses terminate on neuronal cell bodies and tend to be inhibitory. Axoaxonal synapses terminate on an axon, often close to synaptic terminals, and modulate the release of neuro- transmitters.

FIGURE 2-14 Light micrograph of a small group of neurons (nucleus) in a network of fibers (neuropil). X800. Bielschowsky silver stain.

FIGURE 2-15 Micrographs showing astrocytes within the nor- mal human brain (A), and within glial scars in patients with multiple sclerosis (B) and following stroke (C). Note the hypertrophied astrocytes within glial scars in (B) and (C). Bar = 10 pum. (Courtesy of Dr. Joel Black, Yale University School of Medicine.) The cell body maintains the functional and anatomic integrity of the axon (Fig 2-16). If the axon is cut, the part distal to the cut degenerates (wallerian degeneration), because materials for maintaining the axon (mostly proteins) are formed in the cell body and can no longer be transported down the axon (axoplasmic transport).

FIGURE 2-16 Main changes that take place in an injured nerve fiber. A: Normal nerve fiber, with its perikaryon and the effector cell (striated skeletal muscle). Notice the position of the neuron nucleus and the amount and distribution of Nissl bodies. B: When the fiber is injured, the neuronal nucleus moves to the cell periphery, Niss] bodies become greatly reduced in number (chromatolysis), and the nerve fiber distal to the injury degenerates along with its myelin sheath. Debris is phagocytized by macrophages. C: The muscle fiber shows pronounced disuse atrophy. Schwann cells proliferate, forming a compact cord that is penetrated by the growing axon. The axon grows at a rate of 0.5 to 3 mm/d. D: In this example, the nerve fiber regeneration was successful, and the muscle fiber was also regenerated after receiving nerve stimuli. E: When the axon does not penetrate the cord of Schwann cells, its growth is not organized and successful regenera tion does not occur.

FIGURE 3-1 Na* and K* flux through the resting nerve cell membrane. Notice that the Na*/K* pump (Na‘/K*-ATPase) tendsto extrude Na* from the interior of the cell, but it carries K* ions inward. (Reproduced, with permission, from Eccles JC: The Physiology of Nerve Cells. Johns Hopkins University Press, 1957.)

FIGURE 3-2 Demonstration of a generator potential in a pacinian corpuscle. The electrical responses to a pressure (black arrow) of 1X, 2X, 3X, and 4X are shown. The strongest stimulus produced an action potential in the sensory nerve, originating in the center of the corpuscle (open arrow).

FIGURE 3-4 Ionic basis for the depolarization underlying the action potential. Voltage-sensitive Na* channels open when the membrane is depolarized. This action results in increased Na* permeability of the membrane, causing further depolarization and the opening of still other Na* channels. When a sufficient number of Na* channels have opened, the membrane generates an explosive, all-or-none depolarization—the action potential. Other voltage-sensitive ion channels (voltage- sensitive K* channels) open (usually more slowly than Na* channels) in response to depolarization and are selectively

In some fibers, membrane potential becomes transiently hyperpolarized (the after-hyperpolarization) as a result of the opening of the K* channels, which tends to drive the mem- brane toward Ex. In the wake of an action potential, there is a refractory period of decreased excitability. This period has two phases: the initial absolute refractory period, during which

permeable to K*. When these channels open, the membrane potential is driven toward the K* equilibrium potential (Ex), leading to hyperpolarization.

FIGURE 3-6 Na‘ and K‘ channel distributions in myelinated axons are not uniform. Na* channels (gy) are clustered in high density in the axon membrane at the node of Ranvier, where they are available to produce the depolarization needed for the action poten- tial. K* channels (g,), on the other hand, are located largely in the in- ternodal axon membrane under the myelin, so that they are masked. (Reproduced with permission from Waxman SG: Membranes, myelin and the patho- physiology of multiple sclerosis, NEng/J Med Jun 24;306(25):1529-33, 1982.) contrary, it is periodically interrupted by small gaps (approxi- mately 1 um long), called the nodes of Ranvier, where the axon is exposed. In mammalian myelinated fibers, the voltage-sensi- tive Na* and K* channels are not distributed uniformly. Na* channels are clustered in high density (about 1000/pm”) in the axon membrane at the node of Ranvier, but are sparse in the in- ternodal axon membrane, under the myelin. K* channels, on the other hand, tend to be localized in the “internodal” and “paranodal” axon membrane, that is, the axon membrane cov- ered by the myelin (Fig 3-6).

FIGURE 3-7 A: Saltatory conduction in a myelinated axon. The myelin functions as an insulator because of its high resistance and low ca- pacitance. Thus, when the action potential (cross-hatching) is at a given node of Ranvier, the majority of the electrical current is shunted t o the next node (along the pathway shown by the broken arrow). Conduction of the action potential proceeds in a discontinuous manner, jumping from node to node witha high conduction velocity. B: In demyelinated axons there is loss of current through the damaged myelin. Asa result, it either takes longer to reach threshold and conduction velocity is reduced, or threshold is not reached and the action potential fails to propa- gate.

FIGURE 3-8 Relationship between conduction velocity and di- ameter in myelinated and nonmyelinated axons. Myelinated axons conduct more rapidly than nonmyelinated axons of the same size.

FIGURE 3-1U Schematic representation of some of the events involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, release, and action at a prototypic synapse, the neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholine (ACh) is the transmitter at this synapse. Part of the nerve terminal is shown, lying in close apposition to a muscle end- plate. Synthesis of ACh occurs locally, in the presynaptic t erminal, from acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) and choline (1). ACh is then incorpo- rated into membrane-bound synaptic vessels (2). Release of ACh oc- curs by exocytosis, which involves fusion of the vesicles with the presynaptic membrane (3). This process is triggered by an influx of Ca?*, which occurs in response to propagation of the action poten- tial into the presynaptic axons. The contents of approximately 200 synaptic vesicles are released into the synaptic cleft in response toa single action potential. The released ACh diffuses rapidly across the synaptic cleft (4) and binds to postsynaptic ACh receptors (5), where it triggers a conformational change that leads to an influx of Na* ions, which depolarizes the membrane. When the channel closes, the ACh dissociates and is hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase (6).

FIGURE 3-11 Top: Schematic illustration of two types of inhi- bition in the spinal cord. In direct inhibition (also called postsynaptic inhibition), a chemical mediator released from an inhibitory neuron causes hyperpolarization (inhibitory postsynaptic potential) of a motor neuron. In presynaptic inhibition, a second chemical media- tor released onto the ending (axon) of an excitatory neuron causes a reduction in the size of the postsynaptic excitatory potential.

FIGURE 4-1 Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of a 51-year-olc patient with hypertension. The patient complained of weakness of the right side of the face and the right arm and leg, which had devel- oped over a 5-h period. There was no sensory loss or problems with language or cognition. The MRI revealed a small infarction in the in- ternal capsule (arrow), which destroyed axons descending from the motor cortex, thus causing a “pure motor stroke” in this patient.

FIGURE 4-2 A: Section through the medulla, stained for myelin, from a patient with multiple sclerosis. Notice the multiple demyelinated plaques (labeled 1-4) that are disseminated throughout the central nervous system ( CNS). B: Even a single lesion can interfere with function in multiple neighboring parts of the CNS. Notice that plaque 3 involves the hypoglossal r oot (producing weakness of the tongue) and the medial lemnisci (causing an impairment of vibratory and t ouch-pressure sense). Figure 7—7B shows, for comparison, a diagram of the normal medulla at this level. meiosis; impairment of all sensory modalities over the ipsilat- eral face; and loss of pain and temperature sensitivity over the contralateral torso and limbs. This syndrome results from dys- function of clustered nuclei and tracts in the lateral medulla and is usually due to infarction resulting from occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery, which irrigates these neighboring structures.

FIGURE 4-3 Computed tomography scan showing astroke in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Multifocal Process: Multifocal pathology results in dam- age to the nervous system at numerous separate sites. In mul- tiple sclerosis, for example, lesions are disseminated through- out the nervous system in the spatial domain, and develop at different points in time. Figure 4-2 shows the multifocal nature of the pathology in a patient with multiple sclerosis.

B: A pattern of recent-onset headaches on wakening may be caused by an expanding brain tumor. C: A relapsing-remitting course is characteristic of multiple sclerosis. D: Sudden onset of a fixed deficit is characteristic of cerebrovascular disease. E: Slowly progressive dysfunction is suggestive of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. F: Subacutely progressive dysfunction, which advances over weeks to months, is often seen with brain tumors.

FIGURE 5-8 Segmental distribution of the body viewed in the approximate quadruped position.

FIGURE 5-9 Diagram of the position of the nipple in the sen- sory skin fields of the third, fourth, and fifth thoracic spinal roots showing the overlapping of the cutaneous areas. The term myotome refers to the skeletal musculature innervated by motor axons in a given spinal root. The organization of my- otomes is the same from person to person, and the testing of motor functions (see Appendix B) can be very useful in deter- mining the extent of a lesion in the nerve, spinal cord segment, or tract, especially when combined with a careful sensory examina- tion. Most muscles, as indicated in Appendix B, are innervated by

FIGURE 5-11 _Laminas of the gray matter of the spinal cord (only one-half shown). 6. Lamina VIl—This is a large zone that contains the cells of the dorsal nucleus (Clarke’s column) medially as well as a large portion of the ventral gray column. Clarke’s column con- tains cells that give rise to the posterior spinocerebellar tract. Lamina VII also contains the intermediolateral nucleus (or intermediolateral cell column) in thoracic and upper lumbar regions. Preganglionic sympathetic fibers project from cells in this nucleus, via the ventral roots and white rami communi- cantes, to sympathetic ganglia.

The dorsal nucleus of Clarke is not present above C8; it is replaced, for the upper extremity, by a homologous nucleus called the accessory cuneate nucleus. Dorsal root fibers origi- nating at cervical levels synapse with second-order neurons in the accessory cuneate nucleus.

FIGURE 5-18 _ Diagram illustrating the pathways responsible for the stretch reflex and the inverse stretch reflex. Stretch stimulates the muscle spindle, and impulses pass up the la fiber to excite the lower (alpha) motor neuron. Stretch also stimulates the Golgi tendon organ, which is arranged in series with the muscle, and impulses passing up the |b fiber activate the inhibitory neuron. With strong stretch, the re- sulting hyperpolarization of the motor neuron is so great that it stops discharging. (Reproduced, with permission, from Ganong WF: Review of Medical Physiology, 22nd ed.

FIGURE 6-7 Computed tomography image of a horizontal sec- tion at midlevel of vertebra L4. done with the patient sitting upright, the fluid in the manometer normally rises to about the level of the midcervi- cal spine (Fig 6-10. Coughing, sneezing, or straining usually causes a prompt rise in pressure from the congestion of the spinal veins and the resultant increased pressure on the contents of the subarachnoid and epidural spaces. The pres- sure subsequently falls to its previous level.

FIGURE 6-8 Computed tomography image of a horizontal section through L4 at the level of the L3-4 intervertebral disk. (Repro- duced, with permission, from deGroot J: Correlative Neuroanatomy of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 21st ed. Appleton & Lange, 1991.) After the initial pressure has been determined, three or four samples of 2-3 mL each are withdrawn into sterile tubes for laboratory examination. Routine examination usually in- cludes cell counts and measurement of total protein. Cultures and special tests, such as those for sugar and chlorides, are done when indicated. The pressure is also routinely measured after the fluid is removed.

(Reproduced, with permission, fro deGroot J: Correlative Neuroanatomy of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 21st ed. Appleton & Lange, 1991.) Magnetic resonance imaging can be used in any plane. It has been used, especially with sagittal images, to demonstrate the anatomy or pathology of the spinal cord and surrounding spaces and structures (Figs 6-15 to 6-18). Because the calcium of bone does not yield a magnetic resonance signal, MRI is especially useful in showing suspected lesions of the soft tissues in and around the vertebral column (Figs 6-16 and 6-19).

The tegmentum of the pons is more complex than the base. The lower pons contains the nucleus of nerve VI (abducens nucleus) and the nuclei of nerve VII (the facial, superior sali- vatory, and gustatory nuclei). The branchial motor compo- nent of the facial nerve loops medially around the nucleus of nerve VI. The upper half of the pons harbors the main sensory nuclei of nerve V (Figs 7-7E and 7-8). The medial lemniscus assumes a different position (lower body, medial; upper body, lateral), and the spinothalamic tract courses even more later- ally as it travels through the pons.

FIGURE 7-9 Corticobulbar pathways to the nuclei of cranial nerves Vil and XII. Notice that the facial nucleus for muscles of the upper face receives descending input from the motor cortex on both sides, whereas the facial nucleus for lower facial muscles receives in- put from only the contralateral cortex.

Copyright ©1968 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.) The six individual muscles that move one eye normally act together with the muscles of the other eye in controlled movement. Both eyes move in the same direction to follow an object in space, but they move by simultaneously contracting and relaxing different muscles; this is called a conjugate gaze movement. Fixating on a single point is called vergence,

which requires a different set of muscles, including the in- traocular muscles. Each of the extraocular muscles is brought into play in conjugate gaze movements or vergence.

FIGURE 8-7 Brain circuitry controlling right conjugate gaze. The command for voluntary conjugate movements in right lateral gaze origi- nates in the frontal eye fields in the left frontal lobe. This command excites a lateral gaze control center, adjacent to the abducens nucleus, within the paramedian pontine reticular formation on the right side. This, in turn, activates the abducens nucleus on the right, turning the right eye to the right, and projects via the median longitudinal fasciculus to the oculomotor nucleus on the left, which turns the left eyet o the right.

The portal hypophyseal ves- sels serve as a vascular conduit that carries various hypophyseotropic hormones from their sites of release from hypothalamic neurons, in the median eminence on the pituitary stalk, to the anterior pituitary. In contrast, the axons of supraoptic and paraventricular neurons run all the way to the posterior pituitary, where they release vasopressin and oxytocin.

Venous channels lined by mesothelium lie between the inner and outer layers of the dura; they are called intradural (or dural) sinuses. Their tributaries come mostly from the neigh- Cavernous sinuses: on either side of the sella turcica. The cavernous sinuses receive drainage from multiple sources, including the ophthalmic and facial veins. Blood leaves the cavernous sinuses via the petrosal sinuses (see Fig 12-8). The cavernous sinuses are convoluted, with different chambers separated by fibrous trabeculae; thus, they have the appearance of a cavern. A number of important arteries and cranial nerves are embedded with- in the cavernous sinus and its walls. The internal carotid

The severity of the lesions is il- lustrated by the intensity of the shaded areas; the darkest areas show the most severe lesions. The principal pathologic change in the arteries of the brain oc- curs in the vasculature of the neck and brain, although similar changes may also be present in other systemic vessels. Distur- bances in metabolism, especially of fats, are believed to be a prominent associated change. Hypertension accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis and is a treatable risk factor for stroke.

Atheromatous changes in the arterial system are found rel- atively frequently at postmortem examination among those who have reached middle age (Fig 12-15). They are particularly com- mon in patients with untreated hypertension or with unfavor- able lipid profiles. Vessels of all sizes may be affected. A combi- nation of degenerative and proliferative changes can be seen microscopically. The muscularis is the main site of proliferation; the intima may be absent. The areas most often involved are near branchings or confluences of vessels (Fig 12-16 and Table 12-2). The most common and severe atherosclerotic lesions are in the carotid bifurcation. Others occur at the origin of the vertebral ar- teries, in the upper and lower parts of the basilar artery, and in the internal carotid artery at its trifurcation, the first third of the middle cerebral artery, and the first part of the posterior cerebral artery. Narrowing of vessels severe enough to cause vascular in- sufficiency is more frequent in older persons.

Congenital berry aneurysms are seen most frequently in the circle of Willis or in the middle cerebral trifurcation; they are especially common at sites of arterial branching. Aneurysms are seen infrequently in vessels of the posterior fossa. A ruptured aneurysm generally bleeds into the sub- arachnoid space or, less frequently, into the brain substance itself.

TABLE 13-1 Summary of Reflexes. Another important feedback loop involves the second major outflow nucleus of the basal ganglia, the substantia ni- gra, which is reciprocally connected with the putamen and caudate nucleus. Dopaminergic neurons in the pars com- pacta of the substantia nigra project to the striatum (the ni- grostriatal projection), where they form inhibitory synapses on striatal neurons that have D2 dopamine receptors, and ex- citatory synapses on neurons that have D1 dopamine recep- tors (see Fig 13-2B). Reciprocal projections travel from the striatum to the substantia nigra (striatonigral projection) and are also inhibitory (see Fig 13-2C). This loop travels along the pathway The pars reticulata of the substantia nigra (SNr) receives input from the striatum, and sends axons outside the basal ganglia to modulate head and eye movements.

FIGURE 14-7 Schematic illustration of the pathways involved in pain control. (Courtesy of Al Basbaum.) A 41-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with pro- gressive weakness and unsteadiness of his legs. His dis- ability had begun more than a year earlier with tingling (“pins and needles”) feelings in his feet. Gradually, these sensations had become more disagreeable, and burning pains developed on the soles of his feet. The rest of his feet had become numb, and his legs had become weak. For about 6 months, he had had tingling feelings in his fingers and hands; his fingers felt clumsy, and he often dropped things. He had lost more than 6 kg (about 14 Ibs) during the previous 6 months. The patient had smoked about 30 cigarettes daily for many years and drank eight glasses of beer and half a bottle of whiskey (or more) each day. After losing his job a year before, the patient had worked at sev- eral unskilled jobs.

FIGURE 15-7 Accommodation. The solid lines represent the shape of the lens, iris, and ciliary body at rest, and the dotted lines represent the shape during accommodation. (Reproduced, with permis: sion, from Ganong WF: Review of Medical Physiology, 22nd ed. McGraw-Hill, 2005.) When one views a distant object, the normal (emmetropic) eye is unaccommodated and the object is in focus. A normal eye readily focuses an image of a distant object on its retina, 24 mm behind the cornea; the focal length of the optics and the distance from cornea to retina are well matched, a state known as emmetropia (Fig 15-8). To bring closer objects into focus, the eye must increase its refractive power by accommo- dation. The ability of the lens to do so decreases with age as the lens loses its elasticity and hardens. The effect on vision usually becomes noticeable at approximately 40 years of age; by the 50s, accommodation is generally lost (presbyopia).

(Reproduced, with permission, from Ganong WF: Review of Medical Physiology, 22nd ed. McGraw-Hill, 2005.) The visual pathways project from the retina, via the optic nerve, to the brain where they eventually reach the occipital cortex. Since the visual pathways extend over a long course, they are susceptible to injury at multiple points. An under- standing of the anatomy of the visual pathways is thus essential

FIGURE 15-8 Emmetropia (normal eye) and hyperopia and myopia (common defects of the eye). | n hyperopia, the eyeball is too short, and light rays come to a focus behind the retina. A biconvex lens corrects this by adding to the refractive power of the lens of the eye. In myopia, the eyeball is too long, and light rays focus in front of the retina. Placing a biconcave lens in front of the eye causes the light rays to diverge slightly before striking the eye, so that they are brought to a focus on the retina.

Finger counting and finger movement tests are used for those with subnormal vision, and light perception and projection for those with markedly subnormal vision.

The kinetic labyrinth consists of the three semicircular canals. Each canal ends in an enlarged ampulla, which con- tains hair cells, within a receptor area called the crista am- pullaris. A gelatinous partition (cupula) covers each ampulla and is displaced by rotation of the head, displacing hair cells so that they generate impulses. The three semicircular canals are oriented at 90° to each other, providing a mechanism that is sensitive to rotation along any axis.

When the head moves, a compensatory adjustment of gaze, the vestibulo-ocular reflex, is required to keep the eyes fixed on one object. Clockwise rotation of the eyes is triggered by counterclockwise rotation of the head so as to maintain fix- ation of the eyes on a target in the external world. The path- ways for the reflex are via the medial longitudinal fasciculus and involve the vestibular system and the motor nuclei for eye movement within the brainstem (see Fig 8-7).

Damage to two regions (the visual cortex in the left, peech-dominant hemisphere and the splenium of the corpus callosum, which carries interhemispheric al xons connecting the t wo visual ortices) is required. These regions are both irrigated by the posterior cerebral artery. Thus, occlusion of the left posterior cerebral artery can roduce this striking syndrome.

This 44-year-old woman had a generalized tonic— clonic seizure associated with fever at the age of 3 but was otherwise well until the age of 12, when complex partial seizure activity began. Her seizures were characterized by an aura consisting of a rising sensation in her gut, followed by loss of conscious- ness, tonic activity of the left hand, and turning of the head to the left. Sometimes she would fall if standing. Her seizures av- eraged 5 to 10 per month despite treatment with anticonvul- sant drugs. On examination, no neurologic abnormalities were observed. Because of the failure of traditional medical therapy to control her seizures, the patient was hospitalized. Elec- troencephalogram monitoring revealed slowing and abnor- mal spike activity in the right anterior temporal lobe. During her seizures there was abnormal discharge of the right tempo- ral lobe. An intracarotid amobarbital test, in which an anes- thetic was injected into her carotid arteries, demonstrated left-hemisphere dominance for speech and a marked disparity of memory function between the left and right hemispheres; the left hemisphere showed perfect memory and the right showed significantly impaired memory.

FIGURE 25-28 Computed tomography image, with contrast enhancement, of a horizontal section through the head. Notice the low-density cystic astrocytoma with a high-density nodule in the posterior fossa, representing a glioma of the cerebellum. The history indicates a series of transient ischemic attacks, which are suggestive of cerebrovascular occlusive disease. The most common cause in elderly persons is arteriosclerosis. The sudden deterioration of the patient’s status was caused by thrombotic or embolic occlusion of a major cerebral vessel on the right side. Papilledema indicated an intracranial mass ef- fect caused by swelling of the brain associated with an ischemic infarct. The flaccid paralysis and the sensory deficits suggested involvement of the blood supply to the sensory motor cortex or the underlying white matter in the right hemisphere. The

Neurotransmitters found in the brain stem include- 1. acetylcholine
Norepinephrine is found in the- 1. sympathetic nervous trunk 2. locus ceruleus 3. lateral tegmentum of the midbrain 4. neuromuscular junction 22. Glutamate- !. is the transmitter at the neuromuscular junction 2. may be involved in excitotoxicity 3. is a major inhibitory transmitter in the CNS 4. is a major excitatory transmitter in the CNS 23. Decussations are- 1. aggregates of tracts 2. fiber bundles in a spinal nerve 3. horizontal connections crossing within the CNS from the dominant to nondominant side
vertical connections crossing within the CNS from left to right or vice versa
Inhibitory transmitters in the CNS include- 1. glutamate (presynaptic inhibition)
GABA (presynaptic inhibition)
GABA (postsynaptic inhibition)
The neurotransmitter dopamine- !. is produced by neurons that project from the sub stantia nigra to the caudate and putamen
Fine-diameter dorsal root axons of LS on one side termi- nate in the- 1. marginal layer of the ipsilateral dorsal horn 2. ipsilateral substantia gelatinosa 3. ipsilateral lamina V of the dorsal horn 4. ipsilateral dorsal nucleus (of Clarke)
Axons in the spinothalamic tract- 1. carry information about pain and temperature (lat eral spinothalamic tract) and light touch (anterior spinothalamic tract)
carry information about pain (lateral spinothalamic tract) and temperature (anterior spinothalamic tract)
decussate within the spinal cord, within one or two segments of their origin
synapse in the gracile and cuneate nuclei 11. The dorsal spinocerebellar tract- 1. arises in the dorsal nucleus of Clarke and, above C8, in the accessory cuneate nucleus
carries information arising in the muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, touch and pressure receptors
projects without synapses to the basal ganglia and cerebellum
Second-order neurons in the dorsal column system- 1. convey information about pain and temperature 2. cross within the lemniscal decussation 3. cross within the pyramidal decussation 4. convey well-localized sensations of fm e touch, vi bration, two-point discrimination, and propriocep tion 13. The fo llowing rules about dermatomes are correct- 1. the C4 and T2 dermatomes are contiguous over the anterior trunk
the thumb, middle fm ger, and 5th digit are within the C6, C7, and C8 dermatomes, respectively
Signs of upper-motor-neuron lesions include- 1. Babinski's sign 2. hypoactive deep tendon reflexes and hyporetlexia 3. spastic paralysis 4. severe muscle atrophy
A-delta and C peripheral afferent fibers- 1. terminate in laminas I and II of the dorsal horn 2. convey the sensation of pain 3. terminate in lamina V of the dorsal horn 4. convey the sensation of light touch
Cortical area 17- 1. is also termed the striate cortex 2. is involved in the processing of auditory stimuli 3. receives input from the lateral geniculate body 4. receives input from the medial geniculate body 14. Within the cerebellum- !. climbing fibers and mossy fibers carry afferent in fo rmation
Purkinje cells provide the primary output from the cerebellar cortex
Purkinje cells project to the ipsilateral deep cerebel lar nuclei
efferents from the deep cerebellar nuclei project to the contralateral red nucleus and thalamic nuclei 15. In a patient with a missile wound involving the left cerebral hemisphere, the fo llowing might be expected- 1. dense neglect of stimuli on the left side 2. hemiplegia involving the right arm and leg 3. hemiplegia involving the left arm and leg 4. aphasia
Auditory stimuli normally cause impulses to pass through the-
The principal neurotransmitter(s) released by synaptic terminals of sympathetic axons is/are- 1. epinephrine 2. norepinephrine 3. acetylcholine
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by- 1. neurofibrillary tangles 2. loss of neurons in the basal fo rebrain (Meynert) nucleus
severe pathology in CA1
Destruction of the lower cervical and upper thoracic ventral roots on the left side leads to- 1. dilated right pupil 2. constricted right pupil 3. dilated left pupil 4. constricted left pupil 15. After transection of the peripheral nerve, the- 1. axons and Schwarm cells distal to the cut undergo degeneration and disappear
sensory axons distal to the cut survive, but motor axons degenerate
motor neurons whose axons were cut degenerate and disappear
surviving axons of the proximal stump will send out new growth cones to attempt regeneration 16. The Kliiver-Bucy syndrome- 1. is characterized by hyperorality and hypersexuality 2. is characterized by psychic blindness and personal ity changes
is seen in patients with lesions of the anterior thala mus 17. Pain sensation- !. is carried in large myelinated (A-alpha) axons 2. is carried by small myelinated and unmyelinated (A-delta and C) axons
is carried upward in the spinothalamic tract and spinoreticulothalamic system
Parasympathetic fibers are carried in- 1. cranial nerves III and VII 2. cranial nerves IX and X 3. sacral roots S2-4
