Study Notes
Physiology of CNS Sensory Receptors
- Sensory receptors are stimulated by different types of stimuli
- Some receptors are stimulated by only one specific stimulus
- Sensory receptors have a high threshold for specific stimuli
- A specific stimulus produces a receptor potential by enhancing the influx of Na+ into receptors.
- Receptor potential is initiated by adequate stimulus, which may not always be fully developed.
- Sensory receptors stimulated by a steady stimulus can continuously discharge impulses, stop discharging after a brief time, or produce an initial high rate then decline.
- Receptors differ in their response patterns. Some continuously discharge while others don't react at all to the stimulus.
- Slowly adapting receptors include Golgi tendon organs, warmth receptors, and free nerve endings (excluding Meissner corpuscles)
- Rapidly adapting receptors are involved in initiating rapid reflex responses and detecting joint movements.
Sensory Receptors: Structure and Function
- Sensory receptors have varied structures across the body.
- They may not all have the same cellular structure
- Not all sensory receptors are free nerve endings
- Receptors adhere to the law of specific nerve energies
Receptor Adaptation
- Receptor adaptation is the decline in firing rate despite constant stimulation.
- Receptor adaptation is due to changes in receptors, making them less responsive to stimuli, instead of receptor fatigue.
- Adaptation doesn't occur in all receptors to the same degree.
- Receptor adaptation is not accompanied by a change in receptor potential.
Adaptation of Sensory Receptors
- Sensory receptor adaptation is the decline in firing rate despite consistent stimulation
- Receptor fatigue is not typically the cause of adaptation.
- Adaptations can result from changes in receptor structure and function.
- Adaptation processes are unique for each type of sensory receptor.
Physiology of CNS: Specific Tracts
- The lateral spinothalamic tract carries conscious information about pain and temperature.
- Anterior spinothalamic tract carries conscious information related to pain and temperature.
- The lateral spinothalamic tract's destination is the postcentral gyrus (primary somatosensory cortex).
- If the lateral spinothalamic tract is damaged, complete loss of pain and temperature sensation below the injury level occurs bilaterally.
- The Anterior spinothalamic tract is involved in carrying conscious information related to crude and light touch.
- The destinations of the anterior spinothalamic tract are postcentral gyrus, primary somatosensory cortex.
- Damage to the anterior spinothalamic tract results in contralateral loss of crude and light touch below the injury level.
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
- Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Choroid plexus are the main structures that produce CSF
- CSF plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, acting as a buoyancy aid, and facilitating rapid delivery of oxygen and nutrients while cushioning against injuries.
- CSF is produced in the choroid plexuses
- CSF is reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into the dural sinuses
- Disruptions in CSF reabsorption can lead to conditions like hydrocephalus.
CSF Analysis and Function
- CSF analysis can diagnose various neurological conditions.
- CSF provides vital information for diagnostic purposes.
- Various conditions can be identified based on analysis of cerebrospinal fluid samples.
- Mechanisms or conditions can affect the CSF that may cause specific impairments.
Cerebellar Function and Dysfunction
- The cerebellum regulates motor coordination and balance.
- Cerebellar function includes cognitive processes, such as higher-order networks, and sensory perception.
- Cerebellar function is implicated in specific types of dementia.
- Cerebellar impairment is associated with motor coordination deficits, cognitive deficits (like memory recall and visual–spatial skills), emotional dysregulation, language comprehension problems, speech and language impairments, and issues with visual-spatial tasks
Neurological Conditions and Symptoms
- Patients with cerebellar dysfunction often exhibit cognitive and emotional issues.
- Cerebellar cognitive and affective syndrome is a neurological condition with cognitive problems, emotional issues, and language-related impairments.
- Patients may experience impairments or abnormalities in their emotional responses
- Specific symptoms and conditions are often associated with various neurological problems.
