    Study Notes

    Motor Brainstem 1

    • This lecture focuses on the midbrain and its role in eye movements.
    • The presenter is Tony Harper, Ph.D.
    • The lecture took place on Thursday, January 23, 2024.

    Learning Objectives

    • Understand the symptoms of lesions in the midbrain's primary motor nuclei and white matter tracts.
    • Explain the functional components and distribution of the three main motor columns in the brainstem.
    • Recognize which eye movements are produced by each extraocular muscle, and identify the corresponding CNS regions associated with conjugate eye movements.
    • Identify nerves, nuclei, and tracts in the midbrain from preserved brain photographs and stained cross-sections.

    Cranial Fossae

    • The skull consists of anterior, middle, and posterior fossae.
    • The brainstem and vertebral arteries are housed in the posterior fossa.

    Brainstem

    • The brainstem contains roughly 1 billion neurons (approximately 1% of the brain's total).
    • Its extent ranges from the pyramidal decussation to the posterior commissure.
    • It comprises the medulla, pons, and midbrain.
    • Located within the posterior cranial fossa.
    • Blood supply is from the vertebrobasilar arteries.

    Brainstem White Matter Tracts

      • Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus (MLF)
      • Cerebellar peduncles
      • Spinal Trigeminal Tract

    Brainstem Nuclei

    • Primary motor nuclei: contain cell bodies of somatic and autonomic lower motor neurons (LMNs).

    • Oculomotor Nucleus
    • Trochlear Nucleus
    • Red Nucleus
    • Substantia Nigra
    • Periaqueductal Grey
    • Superior Colliculus
    • Inferior Colliculus

    Midbrain Long Tracts

    • Medial Lemniscus
    • Spinothalamic Tract
    • Corticospinal Tract

    CN III - Oculomotor nerve

    • Originates in the midbrain, near the superior colliculus.
    • Innervates most extraocular muscles and contains pupillary constriction/accommodation fibers.

    • Originates in the midbrain, near the inferior colliculus
    • Controls the superior oblique eye muscle.

    Cranial Nerve Injuries/Lesion Signs

    • Ptosis
    • Exotropia (lateral strabismus)
    • Mydriasis

    Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO)

    • Damage to the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF).
    • Usually associated with multiple sclerosis.
    • Presents with contralateral effort nystagmus.
    • Has usually normal convergence.

    Horizontal and Vertical Gaze Centers

    • Horizontal gaze center: located in the pons, within paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF).
    • Vertical gaze center: located within the midbrain, in the rostral interstitial nucleus of the MLF and interstitial nucleus of Cajal.

    Extraocular Muscle Actions

    • Control the 8 non-resting positions of the eyeball.
    • Medial and lateral rectus muscles have simple actions; others depend on gaze angles.

    The "H" Test

    • Used to assess individual muscle function during specific eye movements.

    Additional Information

    • Midbrain Lesion Signs: "Panda Sign" is a characteristic lesion sign associated with Wilson's Disease (congenital copper toxicity), caused by inflammation of the tegmentum.
    • Cranial Nerve Nuclei: Locations and functions of various cranial nerve nuclei are detailed across multiple pages.
    • Gaze Centers: Horizontal and vertical gaze centers and their control of eye movements are explained with diagrams.
    • Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO): Symptoms, potential cause (MLF damage), and associated eye movements, often associated with multiple sclerosis, are described.
