Basic CNS Organization

CNS is made up of gray matter and white matter

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

8

White matter

• Contains axons that communicate between CNS structures• Why white?

• Contains myelin (which is fatty) which insulates axons• When you think white matter, think connections between

brain regions.

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

9

Gray matter

• contains cell bodies and synapses that allow communication between neurons.

• Place of integration/modulation of CNS activity.• Nucleus: collection of CNS cell bodies• When you think gray matter, think cell bodies &

synapses between individual neurons.

Cerebral Hemispheres

• Largest part of the brain• wrinkled surface or cortex (bark)

– ↑ ↑ ↑ surface area– Principally gray matter (synapses)– organized in layers

Relation between anatomy and function

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

23

Communicating between brain structures

• Performed by axonal fibers (i.e. white matter)

• Fasciculi – bundles of axonal fibers

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

24

Communicating between brain structures

Types of fibers• Association fibers

– connect cortical areas in the same hemisphere• short (i.e. gyrus to next gyrus) • long (i.e. connecting lobes)

• Commissural fibers– connect hemispheres

• Projection fibers– Projects to/from the brainstem and spinal cord

Basal ganglia (nuclei)

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

Basal ganglia (nuclei)

A collection of nuclei including• caudate nucleus• putamen • globus pallidus• subthalamic nucleus• substantia nigra

• putamen + globus pallidus = lentiform nucleus• caudate nucleus + putamen = corpus striatum

Basal ganglia (nuclei)Function

• involved in movement control

• Does not directly connect to motorneurons

• Helps stabilize the motor system

Diseases

• Parkinson’s Disease

– reduced movement

• Huntington’s Chorea

– uncontrolled “dancing” like movement

• Hemiballismus

– Uncontrolled rapid movements

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

39

ThalamusBasic Anatomy• Is a collection of nuclei• All sensory information (exception olfaction) passes through

thalamus en route to cerebral cortex• Information from basal ganglia and cerebellum reaches cortex via

the thalamus• “gateway to the cortex”

Function• integration site for

– Sensory information from different modalities– Complex behavior (language)– Motor processes– Emotional circuits

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

40

Thalamic nuclei• Anterior & mediodorsal nuclei

– Connected to emotional circuits

• Ventral anterior and ventral lateral nuclei– input from basal ganglia and cerebellum

• Ventral posterior lateral (VPL) and medial (VPM)– relays general sensory information from body (VPL) and

head (VPM)

• Medial geniculate body– Relays/processes auditory information

• Lateral geniculate body– Relays/processes visual information

Hypothalamus

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

42

HypothalamusBasic Anatomy• Located inferior to the thalamus (hence “hypo”)

Function• Controls ‘autonomic behavior such as

– release of hormones– control of food and water intake– sexual behavior– sleep cycles– emotional responses

• Indirect role in speech (unless you include flirting)

CerebellumCerebellar cortex

What is it?– Primary information receiving areaHow is information received? – Inferior and middle cerebellar pedunclesWhere does the information come from? – other motor control centers– vestibular system (balance)– Information about body position via brainstem

and spinal cord

SPPA 2050 Speech Anatomy & Physiology

52

Function• Coordinates muscles for smooth fluid motion• Monitors “state” of body in space• Monitors/adjusts motor commands Cerebellar Disease/damage• can result in “ataxia”

– Decomposition of movement– Errors in timing and scaling of movement– Tremor during movement activities
