Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS) Arousal Center
I. Olfactory • smell • II. Optic • vision • III. Oculomotor • eye movement • IV. Trochlear • eye movement • V. Trigeminal • face movement • mastication • VI. Abducens • eye movement • VII. Facial • face/tongue movement • VIII. Vestibulocochlear • hearing/balance • IX. Glossopharyngeal • taste/swallowing • X. Vagus • parasympathetic NS • XI. Accessory • neck movement • XII. Hypoglossal • tongue movement • swallowing Cranial Nerves
Cerebellum • Motor Coordination • Fine tuning of: • sensory systems • emotions • learning and memory • Autism • decreased cerebellum size
Thalamus and Hypothalamus Thalamus relay station Hypothalamus regulation center
Nucleus Reticularis Thalami NRT: GABA cells Gatekeeper
Hypothalamic Nuclei • hunger/thirst • blood pressure/heart rate • blood pressure/shivering • stress • sex • satiety • memory • reproduction • thermoregulation • reproduction • circadian rhythms
Limbic System Emotion Rewards Memory • smell • aggression • fear learning • recognition memory • smell recognition? • memory
Limbic System Abnormalitiesin Schizophreniaincreased lateral ventricles
Limbic System Abnormalitiesin SchizophreniaReduced Hippocampus and Amygdala Affected Normal Affected Normal
Basal Ganglia • Movement • Parkinson’s Disease • cell death in • substantia nigra
Cortical Lobes Frontal: Strategy and Planning Motor area Parietal: Somatosensory area Temporal: Audition, Language Occipital: Vision
Cortical Lobe Abnormalitiesin SchizophreniaAtypical Frontal Lobe Structure • Evidence: • smaller forebrain • smaller cerebral cortex • smaller dorsolateral prefrontal cortex • fewer cortical neurons • smaller cortical neurons • abnormal neuronal development • neurons remain in white matter • fail to arrange in neat order • abnormal CAMs • less metabolic activity • hypofrontality • failure to increase activity following task • abnormal EEGs
