  1. Development,Aging & Disorders • Homeostatic Imbalances and Disorders • Ronald Aguilera and Ryan Roman 1

  2. During 3rd wk. of gestation, ectoderm thickens into Neural Plate. • Neural groove (longitudinal) and Neural folds (raised edges) are formed • Folds meet to form Neural Tube • Inside the neural tube is the Neural Crest, a mass of tissue adjacent to neural tube • Neural Crest eventually forms: • Spinal and Cranial Nerves • Ganglia of Cranial Nerves • And much more General Development of Brain 2

  3. 3 layers of cells differentiate from walls of neural tube: • (Outer) Marginal Layer cells become white matter • (Middle) Mantle Layer cells become gray mater • (Inner) Ependymal Layer cells become lining of central canal of spinal cord and ventricles of brain General Development of Brain 3

  4. During 3rd to 4th wk. of embryonic development, neural tube develops into three Primary Brain Vesicles: • Prosencephalon (Forebrain) • Mesencephalon (Midbrain) • Rhombencephalon (Hindbrain) • During 5th wk. of development, Secondary Brain Vesicles develop • Prosencephalon -> Telencephalon & Diencephalon • Rhombencephalon -> Metencephalon & Myelencephalon • Area of neural tube inferior to myelencephalon becomes the Spinal Cord General Development of Brain 4

  5. Telecephalon -> cerebral hemispheres (basal ganglia, lateral ventricles) • Diencephalon -> thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus • Mesencephalon -> midbrain, cerebral aqueduct • Metencephalon -> pons, cerebellum, and houses part of the 4th ventricle • Myelencephalon -> medulla oblongata, and houses the remainder of 4th ventricle General Development of Brain 5

  6. The older we get, the more the Nervous System gets weaker • # of synaptic contacts declines • Decrease in brain mass and nerve cells • Decreased capacity for sending nerve impulses • Processing of info decreases • Conduction velocity decreases • Voluntary motor movement decreases • Reflex times increase Aging and the Nervous System 6

  7. Neuromuscular disability • Infants and toddlers affected • Voluntary muscles are poorly controlled or paralyzed • Caused by brain damage either genetics or accidental • 2 out of every 1000 newborn affected Cerebral Palsy 7

  8. Cerebrum and part of brain are never developed • Newborns are the ones affected • Caused by neural folds fail to fuse rostrally (fuse towards the head) • Victims in “vegetative state” meaning that mental life is nonexistent • Victims usually pass away • Approx 1 out of every 68,000 affected Anencephaly 8

  9. Incomplete formation of vertebral arches along the lumbosacral region (lower back) • Children mainly affected (newborns) • Spina bifida cystica: cyst protrudes from child’s back; can lead to: • functionless spinal cord if not treated • incontinence • muscle paralysis • renal failure • urinary tract infection • Spina bifida occulta: least serious form with only one or a few vertebrae and causes no neural problems Spina bifida 9

  10. Most common form of dementia (weakening of mind due to age) • Mind literally deteriorates alongside the brain • Causes not well understood • Old people mainly affected • 1 in 8 older Americans affected by AD • Symptoms usually reveal during or after age 65: • Confusion • Mood Swings • Trouble with language • Long term memory loss Alzheimer’ Disease 10

  11. QUIZ TIME!!!!! 11

  12. A) there’re no ways to slow down the deterioration of the nervous system. • B) as you age, your brain and spinal cord lose nerve cells & weight • C) average human’s nervous system ages at the same rate • D) None of the Above Which of the following is true about the aging of the nervous system? 12

  13. A) It has a higher likelihood for older people during or after the age of 75 • B) Symptoms are: aggression, memory loss, confusion etc. • C) It stays the same as it progresses • D) All of the above Which are true about Alzheimer’s Disease? 13

  14. A) Rhombencephalon • B) Prosencephalon • C) Metencephalon • D) Mesencephalon All of the following are considered primary brain vesticles EXCEPT: 14

  15. A) Victims are in the “vegetative state” • B) caused by cerebrum and brain stem never developing • C) little mental capabilities exist • D) caused by neural folds failing to fuse rostrally Which of the following is false about anencephaly? 15

  16. True • False Spina Bifida Occulta is more serious than Spina Bifida Cystica 16
