THE STRUCTURE OF
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Nervous System
The structure of the nervous system
will tell us about brain function
Brain organization
General organization and terms used to describe it
Examine how the 3D structure of the brain
arises through development
Cerebral neocortex
GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
Nervous System of all mammals has two divisions
CNS (central nervous system)
PNS (peripheral nervous system)
Anatomical References
GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
The Central Nervous System
The parts of the nervous system that are encased in bone
Brain : Cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem
Spinal cord

GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
The Central Nervous System
Spinal cord
Surrounded by bony vertebral column, attached to the brain stem
Conduit of information (brain body)
Skin, joints, muscles
Communication with body via the spinal nerves
Dorsal root : into the spinal cord
Ventral root : away from the spinal cord
GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
The Peripheral Nervous System
Nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord
Somatic PNS
Innervates skin, joints, muscles that are under voluntary control
Visceral PNS = autonomic nervous system (ANS)
Innervates internal organs, blood vessels, glands
Afferent and Efferent Axons
afferent : sensory axons bringing information into the CNS
efferent : axons that emerge from the CNS
GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
The Cranial Nerves
12 nerves from brain stem
Mostly innervate the head
Axons from CNS, somatic PNS, visceral PNS
The Meninges
Three membranes that surround the brain
Dura mater
Arachnoid membrane
Pia mater
Brain floats in cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF)
GROSS ORGANIZATION OF
THE MAMMALIAN NERVOUS SYSTEM
The Ventricular System
CSF-filled caverns and canals inside brain
Choroid plexus
: specialized tissue in ventricles that secretes CSF
Path
: Cerebrum brain stem core subarachnoid space
special structures called arachnoid villi absorb CSF
Imaging the Living Brain
Computed Tomography (CT)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Functional Brain Imaging
Positron emission tomography (PET)
Functional MRI (fMRI)
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Ventricular System and the CNS
The entire CNS forms from the walls of a fluid-filled tube
The tube ultimately becomes ventricular system
Formation of the Neural Tube
The embryo begins as a flat disk with 3 distinct layers
Endoderm : the lining of many of the internal organs
Mesoderm : the bones of the skeleton and the muscles
Ectoderm : the nervous system – the neural plate
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Formation of the Neural Tube
Neural plate neural groove
Fusion of neural folds
Neural tube (forms CNS neurons)
Neural crest (forms PNS neurons)
Somites
: vertebrae
: skeletal muscle
Somatic motor nerves
Neurulation
: the process which the
neural plate becomes
the neural tube
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Three Primary Brain Vesicles
Differentiation
: the process by which structures become more complex
and functionally specialized during development
Primary vesicles
: the entire brain derives from the three primary vesicles
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Differentiation of the Forebrain
The secondary brain vesicles of the forebrain
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Differentiation of the Forebrain
Differential of the Telencephalon and Diencephalon
Telencephalon
: cerebral hemispheres, olfactory bulbs, basal telencephalon
Diencephalon : thalamus, hypothalamus
Ventricles : lateral ventricles, third ventricle
Major white matter systems
: Axons extend from developing forebrain to other parts of the NS
Cortical white matter : cerebral cortex
Corpus callosum : two cerebral hemispheres
Internal capsule : brain stem, particularly the thalamus
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Differentiation of the Forebrain
Forebrain Structure-Function Relationships
Cerebral cortex
: Analyze sensory input and command motor output
Thalamus
: Gateway of the cortex
: Carry information from contralateral side of the body
Hypothalamus
: Control of visceral (autonomic) nervous system

Differentiation of the Midbrain
Midbrain Structure-Function Relationships
Information conduit from spinal cord to forebrain and vice versa
: Sensory systems, the control of movements… contralateral side
Tectum
Superior colliculus (216p)
: receives direct input from the eye, controls eye movements
Inferior colliculus : the ear instead of the eye
Tegmentum
: Substantia nigra (black substance), red nucleus
: Control of voluntary movement
UNDERSTANDING CNS
STRUCTURE THROUGH DEVELOPMENT
Differentiation of the Hindbrain
Three structures
Cerebellum : Movement control
: Sensory systems, the control of movements
Pons : Switchboard connecting cerebral cortex to cerebellum
Medulla
Decussation : Crossing of axons from one side to the other
Neurons that perform many different sensory and motor function

Special Features of the Human CNS
Many convolutions on the surface : Sulcus / Gyrus
The lobes of the human cerebrum
A GUIDE TO THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
Common Features of Cerebral Cortex
Cell bodies in layers of sheets
Surface layer separated from pia mater
Apical dendrites form multiple branches
A GUIDE TO THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
Areas of Neocortex
Brodmann construted a cytoarchitectural map
: Cortical areas that look different perform different functions

Areas of Neocortex
Neocortical Evolution and S-F Relationship
Cortex amount has changed, but not structure
Leah Krubitzer
: Primary sensory areas, secondary sensory areas, motor areas
Jon Kaas : Expansion of secondary sensory areas
Association areas
: ex) ability to interpret behavior in terms of mental state
