Study Notes

Nervous System & Its Pathophysiology

The nervous system is the most complex and fragile system in the body, directing actions of all other systems.
Objectives for the topic include listing bones protecting the nervous system, stating basic nervous system functions, outlining and explaining the divisions and structures of the nervous system, describing developmental and microscopic anatomy of the nervous system, explaining neuron organization and communication, listing CNS and PNS parts/structures, and discussing pathophysiology related to the nervous system.

Introduction to Skull and Brain

The skull is part of the axial skeleton, enclosing and protecting the brain.
Facial bones are a framework of the face, forming cavities for sense organs and enabling air and food passage.
The skull's bones also securely fasten face muscles.

Cranial and Facial Bones

Cranial bones: frontal, occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, parietal (2), temporal (2).
Facial bones: mandible, maxilla (2), zygomatic (2), nasal (2), lacrimal (2), palatine (2), vomer, inferior nasal conchae (2).
There are 8 cranial & 14 facial bones.

Bones of Skull

Skull bones are primarily flat, somewhat curved.
Sutures connect the bones immovably.
Calvaria (skullcap/vault) comprises the superior, lateral, and posterior parts of the skull.
Skull floor/base constitutes the inferior portion with 85 openings for spinal cord, blood vessels, and nerves. There are foramina, meatus, canals, and fissures.

Cranial Fossae

Bony ridges support and surround the brain in three fossae: anterior, middle, and posterior.
All visible bones in a cranial view are cranial bones.

Basic Functions of Nervous System

The nervous system functions as a coordinating control center for all body activities.
It allows body orientation to internal and external environments
Information acquired through experience supports memory, learning, and intelligence.

Frontal Lobe Functional Areas

Functional areas within the frontal lobe include primary motor cortex, premotor/supplementary motor cortex, frontal eye field, voluntary muscle movements, and planning/coordination of movement.
Other areas include frontal eye field, voluntary rapid eye movement, prefrontal cortex, executive functions, and personality.

Basic Areas of the Brain

The brain is an intricate organ that is divided into several key areas, namely the brain stem, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. Each of these lobes plays a critical role in different aspects of cognitive and physiological function. The brain stem is responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate and breathing.
The frontal lobe is crucial for higher cognitive processes, including decision-making and emotional regulation, while the parietal lobe integrates sensory information and spatial awareness. The temporal lobe is involved in auditory processing and memory, especially related to language. Finally, the occipital lobe is primarily tasked with visual processing, allowing us to interpret and respond to visual stimuli.

Divisions of the Nervous System

The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The CNS comprises the brain and spinal cord.
The PNS extends from the brain and spinal cord, connecting to the entire body through cranial and spinal nerves.

Autonomic and Somatic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary activities like heart rate, digestion, and gland secretions of heart, stomach, intestines, and glands.
The somatic nervous system oversees voluntary activities and connects the CNS to skin and skeletal muscles.
Two branches include sympathetic ("fight or flight") and parasympathetic ("rest and digest").

Structures of the Nervous System

Central nervous system (CNS): brain, spinal cord, gray matter, white matter, meninges
Peripheral nervous system (PNS): nerves, ganglia, nerve plexuses
Autonomic nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic branches
Meninges (meninges): dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): a clear, watery medium surrounding and maintaining homeostasis in the CNS.

Nerve cells and plexuses

Neurons are structural and functional cells of the nervous system (motor, sensory, or intermediate types).
Nerves are bundles of nerve fibers (bundles of nerve cells).
Nerve plexuses are the convergence or network of nerves.
Somatic motor nerves innervate skeletal muscles.
Autonomic motor nerves innervate smooth and cardiac muscles, plus glands.
Ganglion: cluster of neuron cell bodies outside the CNS
Nucleus: cluster of neuron cell bodies within the CNS
Tract: bundle of nerve fibers interconnecting regions of the CNS.

Development of the Nervous System

The nervous system appears during the early third week of development.
It thickens into a neural plate, the edges of which form neural grooves and folds. The neural folds fuse and create the neural tube.
Later subdivisions form vesicles, including the prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), and rhombencephalon (hindbrain) which further divide.

Microscopic Anatomy of Nervous System

Nervous tissue is composed of neurons (cells) and neuroglia (glia) cells (including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia).
Neurons are structural, functional cells of the nervous system (motor, sensory, or intermediate types).
Nerve bundles are collections of nerve cells (nerves).
Nerve plexuses are nerve collections (networks).

Classification of Neurons

There are multipolar, unipolar, and bipolar classifications based on their processes extending from the cell body.
Functional subdivisions include sensory neurons (afferent), motor neurons (efferent), and interneurons/intermediate neurons.

Neuron Connections

A synapse is the functional connection between a presynaptic neuron's axon terminal (synaptic knob/button) and a postsynaptic neuron's (synapse) dendrite(s).
Nerve cells release neurotransmitters, the chemical signals that bind to receptors on the next neuron.

Neurotransmitters

Acetylcholine is not only vital for transmitting signals to skeletal muscle fibers, but it also plays a crucial role in the activation of the body's autonomic functions. This neurotransmitter acts at the neuromuscular junction, facilitating muscle contraction, and is essential for various types of muscle movements, including voluntary movements such as walking and involuntary actions like reflexes.
Epinephrine, commonly known as adrenaline, and norepinephrine are both catecholamines that significantly contribute to the body's acute stress response, often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. During stressful situations, these neurotransmitters are released into the bloodstream, heightening alertness, increasing heart rate, and directing blood flow to essential muscle groups. This physiological reaction is designed to prepare the body for rapid action, whether it be to fight off a threat or flee from it.
Dopamine plays a multifaceted role in the brain, influencing not just sleep and mood, but also motivation and reward. It is deeply involved in the brain's pleasure and reward pathways, making it crucial for reinforcement learning. Imbalances in dopamine levels can lead to various neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, characterized by motor symptoms including tremors and rigidity, and schizophrenia, which is linked to cognitive disturbances.
Serotonin is widely recognized for its influence over mood, acting as a key regulator in feelings of well-being and happiness. It also contributes to the regulation of sleep cycles, appetite, and pain perception. The balance of serotonin levels is crucial, as low levels have been associated with depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, emphasizing the neurotransmitter's importance in emotional health.

Parts of the Brain

The brain consists of four major parts: the cerebrum, which is responsible for higher cognitive functions; the diencephalon, which includes structures like the thalamus and hypothalamus responsible for sensory and regulatory functions; the brainstem, which controls vital life functions such as heart rate and respiration; and the cerebellum, which coordinates movement and balance.
Gray matter, which contains the cell bodies of neurons, is predominantly located in the outer layer of the brain known as the cortex, while white matter, characterized by myelinated axons, lies beneath it. White matter acts as the communication pathway between different brain regions, facilitating the transfer of information.

Meninges

The three protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges, include the outer dura mater, the middle arachnoid mater, and the innermost pia mater. These layers play a crucial role in protecting the central nervous system by providing cushioning and structural support, as well as housing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which further serves to maintain intra-cranial pressure and provide nutrients to the brain.

Cerebral Features

Gyri, the elevated ridges on the brain's surface, and sulci, the grooves between them, contribute to the brain's highly folded structure, allowing for a larger surface area and, consequently, more neurons. The central sulcus serves as a pivotal landmark that demarcates the boundary between the frontal lobe (associated with executive functions) and the parietal lobe (involved in sensory processing). The longitudinal fissure distinguishes the left and right cerebral hemispheres, each of which has specialized functions.
The transverse fissure is significant for its role in separating the cerebrum from the cerebellum, ensuring that the distinct functions of movement coordination and higher cognitive processes are aptly organized. Finally, the sylvian or lateral fissure critically separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes, thereby differentiating areas involved in auditory processing from those responsible for reasoning and spatial awareness.

Gross Anatomy of the Spinal Cord

Extends from C1 to L1/L2, it's encased by 3 layers of meninges.
Terminated at L1/2 as the conus medullaris.
Surrounded by CSF and subarachnoid space, the spinal cord has cervical and lumbar enlargements with 31 pairs of spinal nerves.
Spinal nerves connect to the cord by paired roots. Cervical nerves are named for the inferior vertebrae. Other nerves are named for the superior vertebrae.

Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease treatments consist of various medications aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients. One of the most common and effective medications used is Levodopa, which is a precursor to dopamine and helps replenish the brain's declining levels of this neurotransmitter. Levodopa is often combined with carbidopa to reduce side effects like nausea and enhance its effectiveness. In addition to medications, surgical options such as deep brain stimulation may be recommended for patients who do not respond adequately to pharmacological treatments. This surgical procedure involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to modulate abnormal signals and alleviate motor symptoms.
Complementary therapies are also crucial in the comprehensive management of Parkinson's disease. These therapies can include a well-balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber, which can support overall brain health. Regular exercise is particularly beneficial as it helps to improve mobility, flexibility, and balance while reducing the risk of falls. Furthermore, therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are essential for addressing the physical, social, and communication challenges faced by patients. These therapies may include strategies to improve daily functioning, adapt to physical limitations, and enhance speech and swallowing abilities.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. These seizures vary in intensity and can present in different forms, including generalized seizures that impact the entire brain and focal seizures that begin in a specific area.
Seizures originate from abnormal nerve signals in the brain and can be triggered by a variety of factors such as genetic predispositions, brain injuries, infections, and developmental conditions. The classification of epilepsy often depends on the type of seizures that a person experiences, and it is essential for healthcare providers to understand these classifications to tailor effective treatment plans.
Triggers for seizures can vary greatly among individuals, but common ones include missed doses of antiepileptic medication, lack of sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, certain flashing lights, and fever. Identifying personal triggers is an important aspect of managing epilepsy and can help in preventing future seizures.

Investigations for Epilepsy

Investigations into the causes and nature of epilepsy typically include a series of diagnostic tests to establish the presence of epilepsy and to differentiate it from other medical conditions. Among the various imaging techniques used, CT (computerized tomography) scans provide a detailed view of the brain structure, while MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is more sensitive in detecting abnormalities within brain tissue, such as lesions or structural anomalies.
EEG (electroencephalography) is a crucial tool in the evaluation of epilepsy, as it records electrical activity in the brain and identifies any unusual patterns that may indicate seizure activity. Additionally, video monitoring combined with EEG can provide valuable information about the timing and characteristics of seizures in relation to the brain's electrical activity. Blood tests may also be performed to identify metabolic or infectious causes of seizures.

When to Refer Patients with Epilepsy

Referral to a higher-level medical provider, such as a neurologist or epileptologist, may be warranted if the standard treatment approaches fail to control seizures effectively. This is especially critical in cases where patients experience frequent seizures despite adherence to prescribed medications or when they encounter intolerable side effects that compromise their quality of life.
In addition, if patients show signs of ongoing unmanaged seizures, which may result in prolonged episodes or injuries, or if complications arise from seizures, a prompt referral is necessary for specialized evaluation and intervention.

Dementia

Dementia is a complex syndrome characterized by a deterioration in cognitive function that significantly impacts daily living. Unlike other cognitive impairments, dementia is often chronic and progressive, meaning that symptoms gradually worsen over time. It affects multiple cognitive domains, including but not limited to memory, thinking abilities, spatial orientation, comprehension, overall learning capacity, language skills, and social judgment.
The impact of dementia extends beyond cognitive function, often affecting emotional well-being and the ability to perform basic daily activities, leading to a decline in overall quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.

Factors Contributing to Dementia

Various risk factors are associated with the development of dementia, which can be categorized into modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Non-modifiable risk factors include age and genetic predisposition, while modifiable factors encompass lifestyle-related issues such as illiteracy, hearing loss, chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension, obesity, smoking habits, feelings of depression, lack of physical activity, social isolation, and experiences of stroke.

Dementia Stages and Symptoms

Dementia typically progresses through several stages—early, middle, and late—each characterized by distinct cognitive and functional changes. In the early stages, individuals may experience mild forgetfulness, difficulty keeping track of time, and disorientation in familiar environments, leading to increased reliance on close family members for daily support.
Middle stages of dementia see a significant increase in forgetfulness, challenges with communication including trouble finding words and following conversations, and a heightened need for assistance with daily living tasks. This stage may also include behavioral changes such as repetitive questioning or wandering away from known areas.
In severe or late-stage dementia, patients often display near-total dependence on caregivers for all aspects of daily life due to significant cognitive decline. Memory impairment becomes profoundly severe, and physical symptoms may emerge, including changes in mobility and significant weight loss, highlighting the need for comprehensive support systems.

Dementia Diagnosis

Diagnosing dementia necessitates a thorough clinical assessment, which involves a combination of neurological examinations and mental status evaluations. Assessments aim to identify cognitive deficits, such as problems with memory, reasoning, and judgment.
It is crucial to rule out other potential conditions that could mimic or contribute to cognitive decline; therefore, laboratory tests may be employed to assess metabolic, infectious, or psychological factors contributing to the dementia-like symptoms. These may include blood work, thyroid function tests, and vitamin level assessments, providing a comprehensive overview of the patient’s health status.

Dementia Treatment

The treatment for dementia centers around managing symptoms and addressing associated comorbidities, including psychiatric concerns such as anxiety and depression, which are frequently co-occurring in dementia patients. Therapeutic interventions aim to support cognitive function and enhance the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.
Pharmacological treatments, particularly cholinesterase inhibitors like donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine, are commonly used for symptomatic treatment, especially in Alzheimer's disease, which is the most prevalent form of dementia. Medications such as memantine may also be prescribed to help manage more advanced symptoms by regulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain.

Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Dementia

Non-pharmacological interventions are essential in dementia care and can greatly enhance patient safety and quality of life. Environmental modifications can significantly reduce risks and promote independence; for example, enhancing lighting, installing handrails in bathrooms, and minimizing background noise and clutter within living spaces help create a safer home environment.
Cognitive rehabilitation exercises can be beneficial for enhancing memory and cognitive skills. Strategies might include the use of reminders or alarms on communication devices and engaging in stimulating mental activities, such as crossword puzzles and Sudoku, which provide opportunities to practice problem-solving and cognitive engagement.
Ensuring adequate sensory stimulation through the use of vision and hearing aids, along with simplifying tasks to minimize confusion, can support communication and foster social interactions. Joining dementia support groups also provides emotional support and cultivates a sense of community among caregivers and patients, contributing to improved overall well-being.

Psychological Interventions for Dementia

Psychotherapeutic interventions and behavioral management strategies are critical components of comprehensive dementia care programs. These therapeutic approaches address the psychological factors associated with dementia, such as depression, anxiety, and changes in behavior that may arise as the condition progresses.
Utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy, family counseling, and supportive psychological therapies can help alleviate some of the emotional burdens faced by patients and their families, fostering better coping strategies and resilience in the face of the challenges posed by dementia.

Prognosis for Dementia

Overall, individuals diagnosed with dementia experience a considerably shorter life expectancy compared to the general population. Factors contributing to this prognosis include the presence of comorbid conditions, the severity of cognitive decline, and behavioral changes that may complicate care.
As dementia progresses to more advanced stages, the associated decline in physical health and increased susceptibility to other health complications can further negatively impact survival rates, emphasizing the need for ongoing medical care and support throughout the disease's progression.

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is characterized as a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which signifies a gradual degeneration of brain cells leading to cognitive decline. The onset of this disease is often marked by complex changes in brain structure and function, resulting in impaired memory, thinking abilities, and executive functioning.
The most common presenting symptom is episodic short-term memory loss, which may occur in the early stages alongside relatively preserved long-term memory. Individuals may struggle to remember recent events, conversations, or appointments, while familiar recollections from the past can remain intact for a while.
Cognitive decline in Alzheimer's can encompass various domains, including language ability, visuospatial skills vital for navigation and spatial awareness, executive functioning essential for planning and organization, and emotional responses, leading to increased irritability and mood fluctuations.
Neuropsychiatric symptoms related to Alzheimer's may also arise, presenting as apathy, withdrawal from social interactions, and disinhibition, which may impact the patient’s relationships and overall quality of life.

Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factors

Numerous risk factors contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease, some of which are non-modifiable. Advanced age is the most significant risk factor, with incidence increasing notably after the age of 65. Other contributing facets include illiteracy, substance dependency, hypertension, diabetes, low socioeconomic status, prior traumatic brain injuries, genetic predispositions, and certain nutritional deficiencies, along with historical events such as strokes.

Alzheimer's Disease Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease is intricately associated with the role of amyloid beta, a peptide that is pivotal in neuronal growth and repair. Under normal circumstances, amyloid beta facilitates important processes in the brain; however, when misfolded, these proteins aggregate abnormally, leading to the formation of amyloid plaques that disrupt communication between nerve cells.
These amyloid plaques predominantly impact critical areas of the brain, such as the cortex, hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and basal forebrain, which are essential for memory formation, learning, and critical cognitive processes. The accumulation of these plaques correlates strongly with the degree of cognitive impairment observed in patients with Alzheimer's.
Alongside amyloid plaques, the degeneration of neurofibrillary tangles, primarily composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, further contributes to neuronal demise and cognitive decline, exacerbating the overall progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease Treatment

The treatment of Alzheimer's disease concentrates on managing and alleviating symptoms while striving to slow the progression of the disease where possible. This approach often includes the use of cholinesterase inhibitors which act to inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter integral to memory and learning processes. By enhancing acetylcholine availability, these medications aim to provide symptomatic relief.
Additionally, memantine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, may also be prescribed to regulate glutamate levels in the brain and protect against further neuronal damage, especially in moderate to severe cases of Alzheimer's disease. Together, these pharmacological interventions provide essential support for individuals living with Alzheimer's as they navigate the complexities and challenges associated with this debilitating condition.
