    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • A question about any questions/remarks before the lecture is presented

    Nervous System Anatomy

    • The topic of the lecture is nervous system anatomy
    • The lecture was given by Dr. Lavinia Carmen Uscătescu
    • The date of the lecture is November 20th, 2024

    Outline

    • The central nervous system (CNS) including: cortical and subcortical organisation, the cerebellum, commissures, the ventricular system, cerebral blood supply, and the spinal cord
    • The peripheral nervous system (PNS) including: somatic vs. autonomic nervous system, sympathetic vs. parasympathetic nervous system, and cranial nerves

    Cortical and Subcortical Organisation

    • Grey matter is largely composed of cell bodies and unmyelinated interneurons
    • White matter is largely composed of myelinated axons
    • The cortex is the grey matter layer on the brain surface, derived from Latin (cortex): “bark of a tree”

    Nervous System Subdivisions

    • The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord
    • The peripheral nervous system (PNS) encompasses somatic nervous system (SNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), which further divides into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

    The Meninges

    • Meninges are the three membranes enveloping the brain and spinal cord (dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater)
    • Dura mater is the tough outer membrane
    • Arachnoid is the middle membrane
    • Pia mater is the innermost membrane
    • The subarachnoid space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
    • CSF also contains major blood vessels and cisterns

    Meningiomas

    • Meningiomas are encapsulated tumours that grow between the layers of the meninges
    • They are usually benign and surgically removable

    Meningitis

    • Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, often involving the subarachnoid space, potentially impacting the brain
    • Bacterial meningitis involves infection of CSF-filled subarachnoid space

    Intracranial Haemorrhage

    • Intracranial haemorrhage encompasses types like subdural, epidural, subarachnoid, and intracerebral haemorrhages

    The Meninges in 3D

    • A video lab discussing the meninges and brain dissections is referenced

    Major Landmarks and Structures

    • Gyri and sulci (folds and grooves) are detailed structural components of the brain
    • The central sulcus relates to other names, such as the fissure of Rolando or Rolandic fissure

    Brief Overview of Cortical Localisation

    • A video lab covering cortical localisation is mentioned

    Neuroscientists use Cortical and/or Subcortical Atlases

    • Various atlases, like the DKT, AAL, Glasser, CPAC200, Schaefer maps, are utilized for parcellation in neuroscience

    Functional Parcellations

    • Functional parcellation dynamically adjusts with cognitive states, reliably across sessions and participants
    • Parcel size correlates with cognitive task performance

    Brodmann Cytoarchitectonic Atlas

    • Korbinian Brodmann (1868-1918) identified 52 distinct brain areas based on cellular arrangement (cytoarchitectonics)
