  1. 1What is the neural tubetube w/ lumen and neuroblast-containing walls
  2. 2What develops within the neural tube?Entire CNS
  3. 3Structure of brainThree 1' vesicles
    Fore/mid/hindbrain
    Divide into five 2' vesicles
  4. 4Ventricles areregions containing CSF
  5. 5Lower vertebrae brains have (3)large area devoted to olfaction
    ^ Size of diencephalon
    ^ size of cerebrum
  6. 6Mammalian brains have (4)Folding of cortex
    Development of 6 layered neocortex
    Enlargement of cerebellum
    Reduction of the olfactory system
  7. 7Human brain has (3)1' visual sensory cortex
    somatic sensory cortex
    Enlargement of cortical areas w/ unique human features
  8. 8Where do cranial nerves emerge fromBrainstem
  9. 9what is white mattermyelinated axons
  10. 10corpus callosum is __ that ___WM
    Connects hemispheres of the brain
  11. 11Internal capsule containsmany tracts
  12. 12What are tracts?Bundles of myeliniated axons connecting nuclei
    (WM)
  13. 13ExampleCorticospinal tract = starts in cortex down to spine
  14. 14fascicles meansbundles
  15. 15Cortex is made out ofGray matter
  16. 16Gray matter is comprised ofNeuron Cell bodies organised into nuclei or laminae (layers of cortex)
  17. 17name of cell bodies outside of brainganglia
  18. 18Diagram of the brain (5)Cerebellum
    midbrain
    thalamus
    cortex
    cc
  19. 19How is swimming co-ordinated in fish?CPG on each side of each spinal cord segment
    Each half of spinal cord co-ordinates L and R side
  20. 20What controls the CPG?Locomotor command centres in brainstem
  21. 21What controls brainstem LCC?Basal ganglia in cerebral hemisphere
  22. 22Which cell types are key neurons in startle response?M-neurons
  23. 23How dey do dat?Most fish have large M-neuron either side of brainstem
    Vibrations detected via sensory input from lat. lines (viii)
    Axon crosses midline, extends throughout spinal cord
    Collaterals contact inter/motorneurons at every spinal level
    Unilateral muscle contraction
    Also inhibits other side of spinal cord by releasing exc. neurot onto inhib neuron
  24. 24Vestibulocerebrum involved inbalance
  25. 25spinocerebrum development whenbody raised off ground
  26. 26neocerebrum isconnected to cerebral cortex for motor co-ordination
  27. 27MOA spinal reflexSensory neuron brings info into spinal cord via dorsal root ganglion
    Synapse in dorsal horn (GM)
    Interneuron synapse to motor neurons in ventral horn
    Release neurot onto skeletal muscle
  28. 28Supra-spinal control ascendingSensory
    run from spinal cord to sensory cortex in cerebral hemisphere
  29. 29DescendingMotor
    Exert control over motor neurons in spinal cord
  30. 303 major mammalian pathwaysCorticostriate pathway (basal ganglia)
    Cortico-cerebellar pathway
    Corticospinal tract
  31. 31What influences reptiles/amphibians?Cerebral cortex + spinal cord
    Evolving basal ganglia, the cortex, the brainstem
    Cerebellum and spinal cord
