  14. Cerebralvascular Obstruction • Thrombosis is a stationary obstruction • Embolus is a traveling clot that obstructs • Aneurysm is a dilation or ballooning of a vessel wall which can cause a rupture into surrounding space • Congenital, AVM • Trauma • CVA, TIA

  15. Anatomy of the Brainstem

  16. II

  17. Olfactory I Reaches the brain without going through thalamus Olfactory cortex in pyriform lobe and hippocampal formation

  18. CN II Optic Nerve

  19. CN III oculomotor CN IV Trochlear CN VI Abducens

  20. CN V TrigeminalSensory/motor 3 branches opthalmic: transmits sensory information from skin of the upper face maxillary: transmits sensory information from the middle face mandibular: sen/mot sensory from lower face, kinesthetic/proprioceptive sense of m. of mastication, sen. ant. 2/3 of tongue & floor of mouth (pain/temp), motor innervates m. of mastication, tensor tympani and veli palatini, mylohyoid, ant. belly of digastric

  21. UMN Damage: increased jaw jerk reflex LMN Damage: atrophy/weakness of affected side, jaw pulls to unaffected side on closure bilateral-jaw hangs open TVP damage: hypernasality

  22. Efferent for facial m. Afferent: -taste ant. 2/3 tongue -sublingual/submandibular glands UMN damage: no upper face paralysis LMN damage: upper/lower face paralysis on side of lesion VII CN S/M Facial Upper face innervated bilaterally Lower face contralateral

  23. VIII CN S/M Vestibulocochlear

  24. IX CN S/M Glossopharyngeal Part of Pharyngeal Plexus Efferent stylopharyngeus Afferent taste posterior 1/3 tongue, soft palate Pain, temp., touch posterior 1/3

  25. X CN Vagus S/M Pharyngeal, superior, and laryngeal branches important in voice, speech, and swallowing Lesions can cause: Lack of sensation in pharynx Lack of muscle function: palate, pharynx, vocal fold, esophagus Large autonomic role

  26. IX CN Accessory M Part of pharyngeal plexus for innervation of larynx, pharynx, and soft palate Sole innervation for trapezius and SCM

  27. XII CN Hypoglossal M Innervation for the motor function of the tongue Each hypoglossal nucleus served by contralateral corticobulbar tract (L) UMN damage = (R) tongue weakness (L) LMN damage = (L) tongue weakness Fibers of the Corticobulbar Tract decussate prior to reaching the hypoglossal nucleus, therefore (L) UMN damage/ (R) LMN damage = (R) tongue weakness

  28. Dorsal Root + Ventral Root = Spinal Nerve = Dorsal & Ventral Rami Branches of ventral rami go to sympathetic ganglia, nuclei of ANS Efferent neurons of dorsal and ventral rami go to motor end plates/muscle synapse Spinal Reflex Arc

  29. UMN: commands from upper brain levels that activate or inhibit muscle function by synapsing with LMN LMN: dendrites and soma within the spinal cord,axons/components that communicate with muscle fiber Neuron within ventral gray matter is LMN or Final Common Pathway

  30. UMN/LMN • LMN Damage: muscle weakness or complete paralysis, reflexes not intact • UMN Damage: muscle weakness or complete paralysis, reflexes intact because a spinal arc reflex is a LMN process

  31. AST Tract: transmits info. On sense of light touch from spine to thalamus Ipsilateral: sensations on the same side as they enter the cord Contralateral: sensations on the opposite side as they enter the cord Decussate: cross the midline

  32. Corticospinal Tract Pyramidal Tract Voluntary Movement Modification of Reflexes Visceral Activation Two neuron pathway consisting of an UMN and LMN

  33. Corticobulbar Tract Arises from: cortical cells in lateral aspects of pre central gyrus premotor/somesthetic regions of parietal lobe Axons will: branch/decussate at different levels of brainstem synapse with nuclei of CN Sensory Information: facilitate/inhibit transmission to thalamus Serves: CN for speech

  34. Higher Functioning • Primary activity areas: receive information from senses, extract info. • Adjacent higher order areas of processing (secondary, tertiary,quaterary): info. compared to other info. received and stored associated with modality • Association areas: highest level of cognitive processing

  35. Motor Function • Identify target: tongue tip to alveolar ridge • Spacial orientation: integration of information of body parts in space • Posterior parietal lobe receives information from thalamus, cerebellum, basal ganglia • Develop plan to achieve target behavior • Premotor region, area 6, anterior to motor strip plans the action, receives info from areas 1,2,3 re location of muscles and joints • SMA, area 6 sup. & med., preparatory speech act, initiation of speech act • Execute plan: muscle movement with accurate timing force and rate • Area 4 execution of voluntary movement

  36. Motor System Lesions • Dysarthria: speech disorder arising from paralysis, muscular weakness, and dyscoordination of speech musculature • Flaccid Dysarthria: LMN damage of CN, dysphonia due to VF paralysis, fasciculations, hypotonia, reflexive responses reduced or absent • Spastic Dysarthria: UMN bilateral damage to pyramidal or extrapyramidal tracts, hyper-reflexia, hypertonia • UUMN: less devastating than bilateral

  37. Motor System Lesions • Ataxic Dysarthria: Damage to the cerebellum &/or brainstem vestibular nuclei • Loss of coordination, unable to achieve articulatory target, problems in coordination of rate, range, and movement • Dysdiadochokinesia • Dysprosody

  38. Motor System Lesions • Hypokenetic Dysarthria: paucity of movement, inhibited initiation of movement, reduced ROM, rigidity, pill rolling hand tremor • Damage to BG &/or substantia nigra (SN) • SN produces Dopamine (DA) which balances acetylcholine (Ach), decreased DA results in inhibited initiation of motor function • Speech rushed, reduced duration of speech sounds, monopitch, monoloudness

  39. Motor System Lesions • Hyperkenetic Dysarthria:Extraneous involuntary movement caused by BG circuit damage • Subthalamic N. damage: inhibition to GP is lost resulting in Ballism (uncontrolled flailing) • BG damage: if Ach is decreased and DA increased choreiform, involuntary twitching and movements, result • Tics: rapid movements of small groups of muscle fibers • Tremors: rhythmic contractions • Athetosis: slow, writhing movements • Dystonia: involuntary movement to a posture, posture held briefly

  40. Motor System Lesions • Mixed Dysarthria: Damage to more than one of the controlling systems • S/F: found in ALS, disease of UMN & LMN • S/A: found in MS, UMN and cerebellum • S/A/hypo: Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular degeneration)

  41. Motor System Lesions • Apraxia/Dyspraxia: A dysfunction of motor planning in the absence of muscular weakness or dysfunction • SMA damage: difficulty in initiating speech • Dominant insular cortex damage: verbal dyspraxia (loss of fluency and groping behavior, ability to contract musculature voluntarily is impaired) • Oral apraxia: inability to perform non speech oral gestures • Supramarginal Gyrus damage: verbal apraxia affecting long and complex sentences

  42. Hemispheric Specialization • Left Hemisphere • Lateral Fissure is longer • Planum Temporale (HG) is larger • Generally functional dominance for L/S • Processes consonant transitions and stop consonant bursts in (R) handed • Process of analysis, favored discrete, sequential, brief duration or rapidly changing information • Spoken/written language perception & production

  43. Hemispheric Specialization • Right Hemisphere • Spatial and holistic elements • Face recognition • Speech intonation • Melody, tonal information • Perception of form • Intention of speaker

  44. Lesion Studies • Speech and Language Areas • Wernicke’s Area (22): receptive or fluent aphasia • Relatively normal flow of speech • Has syntax • Does not understand what is said • Verbal paraphasias (substitution of words) • Neologisms (new word), jargon, word salad • Cannot repeat

  45. Lesion Studies • Broca’s Aphasia: lesions to 44,45, operculum of frontal-parietal, insula, supramarginal gyrus of parietal lobe • Difficulty with the planning of speech • Non fluent aphasia • Expressive abilities severely limited • Usually retain auditory and visual input

  46. Lesion Studies • Global Aphasia: Damage to both Wernicke’s and Broca’s Area and some sub cortical structures • Both receptive and expressive functions are severely impaired

  47. Lesion Studies • Conduction Aphasia: lesion of arcuate fasiculus connecting Broca’s and Wernicke’s area • problem with repetition of words • Anomia: difficulty naming objects • Thalamic damage, cortical and subcortical structures
