A Brief Review of Neuroanatomy This very selective review focuses on aspects of neuroanatomy that are of particular clinical importance. Much of this will be familiar, since your were exposed to neuroanatomy in much greater detail last year in Neuroscience.

1. The Spinal Cord  2. The Brain Stem And Cerebellum  3. The Diencephalon  4. The Basal Ganglia  5. The Cerebral Cortex  6. The Peripheral Nervous System, Neuromuscular Junction, and Muscle  

1.The Spinal Cord The spinal cord is the simplest portion of the central nervous system, with the same general structure (with variations that we will ignore) at every segmental level.

Anatomy It is important to understand the distinction between segmental and long tract findings.

1. The segmental level: a. At each segment, sensory neurons contained in a dorsal root enter the spinal

cord. The territory of skin innervated by a segment (for example, C6) is called a dermatome.

b. Motor neuron cell bodies are located in the anterior horns; for each segment, their axons collect to form an anterior spinal root, and project (via plexus and peripheral nerves) to groups of muscles (the myotome).

c. Large sensory fibers from muscle spindles enter at each level and synapse with motor neurons that project to the same muscle. The monosynaptic stretch reflex arc is an important aspect of segmental organization.

2. Long tracts: of the 10 or more long fiber tracts coursing longitudinally in the spinal cord, only three are of prime importance in clinical practice:(see Figure 1) below :

20

Page 23: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

a. The lateral corticospinal tract contains axons from neurons in the motor cortex that project directly or through interneurons to motor neurons at the segmental levels

b. Sensory fibers subserving pain and temperature (and crude touch) enter at each segment through the dorsal roots, synapse, and the second order neuron crosses to join the spinothalamic tract.

c. Sensory fibers subserving position, vibration and disciminative touch enter through the dorsal roots, and directly (without a synapse and without crossing) join the posterior (or dorsal) columns

d. Autonomic function: Autonomic fibers descend and synapse with cell bodies in the intermediolateral columns. Sympathetic fibers exit between T1 and L2, and parasympathetic between S2 and S4.

Localization Spinal cord lesions are suspected when there are long tract signs below a certain spinal level, with or without segmental signs at that level

1. Segmental signs: a. Motor: weakness and atrophy in a myotomal pattern. b. Sensory:

1. Sensory loss in a dermatomal distribution. 2. With central cord lesions: bilateral dissociated sensory loss (loss of

pain and temperature, with preservation of position, vibration and touch.

3. Reflexes: loss of tendon reflexes at the level of the lesion. 2. Long tract signs:

a. Motor: upper motor neuron dysfunction is characterized by weakness, spasticity, increased tendon reflexes, and Babinski responses. Bilateral leg weakness (paraparesis) is the commonest presentation of spinal cord dysfunction, but quadriparesis, monoparesis or any combination of limb weakness can be seen. Acute transection (or similarly severe lesion) can cause

Aspinal shock,@ with flaccid paralysis and diminished tendon reflexes. This is temporary: spastic paralysis will usually supervene.

b. Sensory: The characteristic finding is that of bilateral sensory loss below the level of the lesion. When spinal cord pathology is suspected, the physical examination should be designed to detect sensory levels in the limbs and on the trunk. The modalities lost depend upon the tracts involved.

c. Autonomic: Many autonomic functions can be affected, but clinically the most useful symptoms relate to bladder control. Loss of descending inhibition of segmental reflex control leads to urinary urgency and incontinence. Acutely, however, lesions may be associated with a flaccid bladder and urinary retention, be��� segmental reflexes become active.

3. Classic syndromes:

The Brown-Sequard syndrome of spinal cord hemisection (see figure 2) below :

Segmental findings with spinal cord hemisection will depend upon the level of the lesion and its rostro-caudal extent: they may be totally inapparent, for example, with a small lesion in the thoracic cord. Long tract findings, however, are prominent. Posterior column sensory loss (position, vibration) and long tract motor signs are found ipsilateral to the lesion, whereas pain and temperature are lost contralaterally. Bladder function may be spared since bilateral lesions are required to interfere with bladder function.

Extrinsic compression Extrinsic spinal cord compression from neoplasms or other masses affects the spinal cord by direct compression and by interference with blood supply. Segmental findings are variable, and again depend on the level and extent of the lesion. If nerve roots are affected, segmental motor, sensory, or reflex changes may be apparent at the level of the lesion (see number 4 below, spondylotic myelopathy). Sometimes, these are minimal. The long tract findings are clinically more important, since they indicate that there is spinal cord, rather than just nerve root, involvement. The lateral columns and intermediolateral columns are particularly prone to damage, so urinary urgency and lower extremity long tract motor signs are often the earliest manifestation of spinal cord compression. Loss of pain and temperature sensation may begin in the sacral region, and slowly ascend as the compression gets more severe, because the spinothalamic tract is laminated with the fibers from the sacral regions being most lateral and thus most vulnerable to compression. Central cord syndrome (see figure 3) below :

If a lesion in the center of the spinal cord extends over many segmental levels, segmental findings are prominent. Intrinsic spinal cord neoplasms and cysts (syringomyelia) may present with segmental loss of pain and temperature sensation, loss of tendon reflexes, segmental atrophy and weakness, and, below the level of the lesion, long tract signs (spasticity, brisk reflexes, Babinski response, weakness,

23

urinary urgency, and, later, long tract sensory abnormalities). If the process begins in the middle of the cord, the first manifestation will be a dissociated sensory loss (loss of pain and temperature without loss of position and vibration) resulting from interruption of second order sensory neurons decussating in the center of the cord on their way to the lateral spinothalamic tracts. With cervical syringomyelia (a cyst in the cervical spinal cord), the dissociated sensory loss is usually bilateral, and may assume a cape distribution. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy Degenerative changes in the cervical spine (disc degeneration, formation of new bone) may impinge on spinal roots and may also compress the spinal cord. A common presentation is with C6 segmental findings (particularly decreased biceps and brachioradialis reflexes) and long tract abnormalities below that level (with increased triceps and lower extremity reflexes, spasticity in the legs, Babinski responses, and urinary urgency). Sensory findings, both segmental and long tract, may be present, but tend to be a later complication.

2.The Brain Stem and Cerebellum Long tracts Long tracts: the motor and sensory tracts described in the spinal cord are present in the brain stem, but in the brain stem they are all contralateral to the side of the body they serve.

1. The pyramidal tract (upper motor neuron) is located in the cerebral peduncles of the midbrain,  it courses through the base of the pons  in several bundles that rejoin to form  the pyramids  in  the medulla. The pyramids decussate at  the  junction of  the medulla and cervical spinal cord. See figure 4 below : 

24

2. The spinothalamic tracts continue in a lateral position throughout the brainstem on their way to the thalamus (figure 5).  

3. The posterior columns end in the medulla where they synapse in the nuclei cuneatus and  gracilis  (subserving  function  in  the  arms  and  legs  respectively).  Second order neurons immediately decussate to form the medial lemnisci. The medial lemnisci are medially situated in the medulla, but in the pons they become horizontally oriented and by the midbrain they are situated laterally, near the spinothalamic tracts. These sensory pathways both end in the thalamus (VPL). (figure 5). Below :

Segmental structures The segmental anatomy of the brainstem is analogous to that of the spinal cord, but it is more complex. We will not attempt to describe brainstem anatomy in detail: please consult your neuroscience notes and texts for details. figure 6 below , illustrates the approximate location of brainstem sensory and motor nuclei and Table 1 is a rough guide to segmental level.

Cervical cord  XI

With the exception of the trochelar nucleus (cranial nerve IV), which crosses to innervate the contralateral superior oblique muscle, each of the brainstem cranial nerve nuclei innervate ipsilateral structures. Since the long tracts discussed above are crossed, lesions confined to one side of the brainstem typically present with cranial nerve findings on one side, and motor and sensory findings on the opposite side of the body. This rule is very helpful in localization. (See section II-G below, and figure 7, figure 8and figure 9, for examples.)

The reticular formation Although typically thought of as an amorphous background in which brainstem nuclei are arranged, the reticular nuclei and tracts form a complex and detailed structure with diverse functions. In the medulla and pons, reticular nuclei are important in modulating respiration, heart rate and blood pressure. The reticular formation of the rostral pons and midbrain is critical for the maintenance of consciousness (lesions in this area result in coma), and reticular nuclei (such as the PPRF) are important for mediating eye movement. Some brainstem nuclei provide a major source of particular neurotransmitters for large portions of the brain: the locus coeruleus (norepinephrine), the raph nuclei (serotonin), and the substantia nigra (dopamine). These neurotransmitters are important neuromodulators. Reduction in norepinephrine or serotonin probably affects arousal and emotion. Neurological correlates are clearer for dopamine: Parkinsons disease is associated with loss of dopaminergic pigmented neurons in the substantia nigra.

The cerebellum Lesions of one cerebellar cortex result in ataxia on the same side as the lesion. The cerebellar hemisphere projects to the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum, whose fibers leave the cerebellum in the superior cerebellar peduncle, cross as soon as they reach the brain stem, and synapse in the contralateral red nucleus and thalamus (VA and VL). Collateral fibers from the corticospinal tract synapse in the basis pontis, and fibers from these pontine nuclei project to the opposite cerebellar hemisphere. Thus, for example, the right cerebellar hemisphere projects to the left thalamus and cortex, which in turn projects to the left pontine nuclei, which project back to the right cerebellar hemisphere.

The control of eye movements.

Horizontal eye movements (see Figure 7):  

 

a. Anatomy  A  conjugate  horizontal  eye  movement  requires  simultaneous  activation  of  one lateral  rectus muscle  and  the  contralateral medial  rectus muscle.  The  sixth  nerve nucleus  contains  motor  neurons  that  control  the  lateral  rectus  muscle.  It  also contains neurons  that project  through  the medial  longitudinal  fasciculus  (MLF)  to the  medial  rectus  subnucleus  of  the  contralateral  third  nerve  nucleus.  This subnucleus  contains motor  neurons  that  control  the medial  rectus muscle.  Thus activation of  the  sixth nerve nucleus can cause a  conjugate  lateral eye movement toward the side of the nucleus stimulated.  

b. "Voluntary"  horizontal  eye movements  can  be  directed  by  the  frontal  eye  fields. Stimulation of the frontal eye field on one side causes deviation of the eyes to the opposite  side.  To  achieve  this,  the  frontal  eye  fields  are  connected  with  the contralateral  pontine  lateral  gaze  center  (the  paramedian  pontine  reticular formation or PPRF), the pathway crossing in the caudal midbrain. 

c. Clinical correlation:  Horizontal gaze palsy: Paresis of conjugate eye movements is called a gaze palsy. Horizontal gaze palsy may be caused by lesions in the cerebral hemispheres, which cause paresis of gaze away from the side of the lesion, or from brain stem lesions, 

29

Page 32: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

which, if they occur below the crossing of the fibers from the frontal eye fields in the caudal midbrain, will cause weakness of gaze toward the side of the lesion. Another way to remember this is that patients with hemisphere lesions look toward their lesion, while patients with pontine gaze palsies look away from their lesions. Note that patients with gaze palsy still have conjugate eye movements and therefore do not complain of diplopia.  Internuclear ophthalmoplegia:  Lesions of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) between the sixth and third nerve nuclei cause weakness of adduction on attempts at horizontal gaze, but not with convergeance. For example, a lesion of the right MLF will cause weakness of adduction of the right eye on attempted leftward gaze. One can demonstrate that this weakness is not caused by medial rectus paralysis, because this muscle functions normally during convergeance (which is coordinated entirely in the midbrain).  

d. Vertical eye movements: These are coordinated  in the midbrain. There are centers for vertical gaze in the mesencephalic reticular formation just above the third nerve nuclei.  

Influence on posture Brain stem lesions can affect numerous descending influences on the motor system. Tectospinal, reticulospinal and vestibulospinal pathways influence axial muscle tone and movement. In contrast, corticospinal and rubrospinal pathways innervate limb muscles more than axial muscles. The corticospinal pathways are phylogenetically newer, and mediate the most highly differentiated limb movements, such as individual finger movements. Lesions that upset the balance among these systems can produce abnormal posturing.

Lesions in the brain stem above the pontomedullary junction can result in disinhibition of lateral vestibulospinal and caudal reticulospinal systems that normally promote extensor tone in all extremities. The result is extensor posturing in all extremities (decerebrate posturing). Lesions above the brain stem that interfere with cortical and basal ganglia modulation of all brain stem motor systems may result in decorticate posturing, in which there is flexion of the upper extremities and extension of the lower extremities. Flexor tone in the upper extremities is probably mediated at least in part by rubrospinal and reticulospinal pathways.

Classic syndromes The following are examples of brainstem syndromes. You are not responsible for knowing the names of these syndromes, but you should try to understand how these lesions are localized.

Mid­brain syndromes:  Weber's syndrome (see Figure 8)  

30

Page 33: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

 

The  critical  structures  involved are  the descending  corticospinal and  corticobulbar fibers  in  the cerebral peduncle, and  the  fibers of  the  third nerve  that  traverse  the peduncle on exiting the midbrain. With a lesion on the right, the patient will have a left hemiparesis and a right third nerve palsy  (ptosis,  inability to move the eye up, down or medially,  and  [if  fibers  from  the  Edinger‐Westphal nucleus  are  involved] pupillary dilitation).  

Benedikt's syndrome  

unilateral  third  nerve  palsy  with  contralateral  ataxia,  from  a  midbrain  stroke involving  the  third  nerve  as  it  travels  near  the  red  nucleus.  A  lesion  of  the  red nucleus interrupts fibers from the opposite cerebellar hemisphere (dentate nucleus of  the  cerebellum  superior  cerebellar  peduncle  crossing  in midbrain  red  nucleus VA/VL thalamus).  

Medial pontine syndromes 

Lesions of the sixth nerve nucleus cause paralysis of gaze to the side of the lesion. If fibers from the opposite 6th nerve nucleus are involved as they cross to the MLF, there is also weakness of the ipsilateral medial rectus muscle. The ipsilateral seventh nerve can be involved since its fibers course around the sixth nerve nucleus. Lesions involving the fibers of the sixth nerve as they travel through the pons can also involve the medial lemniscus (producing unilateral abducens weakness and contralateral loss of position and vibration), or descending corticospinal fibers in the base of the pons (producing unilateral abducens weakness and contralateral hemiparesis).

Lateral medullary syndrome (Wallenberg syndrome) 

This is the commonest of the brain stem strokes. Involvement of the spinothalamic tract results in contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation below the neck.

31

Page 34: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

Involvement of the descending nucleus and tract of V results in loss of pain and temperature sensation on the face ipsilateral to the lesion. Involvement of descending autonomic fibers results in an ipsilateral Horner's syndrome (ptosis, meiosis, and anhidrosis). Involvement of the nucleus ambiguus causes palatal weakness and dysphagia. Involvement of the inferior cerebellar peduncle (restiform body) causes ipsilateral ataxia. See figure 9.

The locked in syndrome (infarction of the base of the pons) 

Corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts in the basis pontis are interrupted, causing quadriplegia and paralysis of all cranial nerve muscles except for those controlling eye movements. If the lesion extends into the tegmentum of the caudal pons, horizontal eye movements may also be affected (so only vertical eye movements are possible), and sensation can be affected. The critical feature of these lesions is that they spare the reticular formation above the caudal pons, and therefore the patients remain awake. The only way to communicate with these unfortunate patients is to ask them to move their eyes in response to questions.

Pontine hemorrhage 

Hemorrhage into the pons (usually the result of hypertensive vascular disease) results in coma (from involvement of the reticular formation), decerebrate posturing (lesion between red nucleus and vestibular nucleus), and small pupils (involvement of descending sympathetic fibers).

The diencephalon consists of  the  thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and epithalamus. The  subthalamus  is  considered with  the basal ganglia  (below).  Lesions of  the epithalamus (habenula) have not been correlated with specific deficits in man, possibly because isolated lesions have not been described.  

The thalamus

This complex structure figure 10serves to process all sensory input (except olfactory) to the cortex, but it also has profound influence on motor (via input from basal ganglia and cerebellum) and cognitive function. Although critically situated, the functions of the thalamus are not well understood.

33

We will mention only the most well-defined clinico-pathologic correlations:

Sensory function: 

• Visual  input  from  the  optic  tract  relays  in  the  lateral  geniculate  nucleus  (LGN): lesions result in hemianopia (see figure 11) as below : 

 

• Auditory  input  from  the  lateral  lemniscus  relays  in  the medial  geniculate nucleus. Unilateral  lesions have  little effect on hearing, because auditory  information  from each ear ascends bilaterally.  

• Somatosensory  input from both the posterior column/medial  lemniscus system for position and vibration and the spinothalamic system for pain and temperature relay in the thalamus (VPL and VPM nuclei). Lesions affecting this part of the thalamus can therefore cause  loss of all  sensation on one  side of  the body. Paradoxically,  some patients  experience  abnormally  painful  sensations  (Athalamic  pain@)  on  the anesthetic side.  

Motor function 

Thalamic strokes are not known for their motor manifestations, but interruption of the cerebellar input to VA and VL may result in ataxia, and interruption of basal ganglia input (to these same thalamic nuclei, VA and VL) may result in akinesia.

34

Cognitive function: 

• Arousal:  bilateral  lesions  affecting  the  intralaminar  thalamic  nuclei, which  can  be considered  extensions  of  the  brainstem  reticular  formation,  can  cause unresponsiveness,  but  the  eyes  remain  open.  This  has  been  called  coma  vigil  or akinetic mutism.  

• Memory:  Lesions  affecting  medial  thalamic  structures  (the  confluence  of mammillothalamic  and  amygdalofugal  tracts,  dorsomedial  and  possibly  anterior nuclei) can cause profound amnesia.  

• Other cognitive  functions: aphasia, neglect and visuospatial dysfunction have been described with thalamic lesions, and presumably relate to interruption of reciprocal thalamic connections with the cerebral cortex.  

The hypothalamus The hypothalamus exerts control over the pituitary gland and thus over endocrine function in general, and it has extensive connections with brainstem autonomic nuclei. Lesions of the hypothalamus affect appetite, emotional behavior, temperature control, and numerous other autonomic and endocrine-influenced behaviors.

4.The Basal Ganglia The basal ganglia are a group of anatomically closely related subcortical nuclei. Damage to these nuclei does not cause weakness, but can cause dramatic motor abnormalities. The mechanisms by which lesions in the basal ganglia cause clinical symptoms have not been completely elucidated.

Anatomy (see figure 08) The striatum (caudate and putamen) receives projections from wide regions of the neocortex, and projects to the globus pallidus (GP). The nucleus accumbens and the ventral pallidum (vP) are limbic regions of the caudate and GP, respectively (figure 12) as follows :

35

Page 38: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

The striatum also projects to and the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra (SNpr), which is not shown in the illustrations. SNpr and GPi are closely related structures with similar connections. The globus pallidus and SNpr projects to the thalamus (VA/VL), which projects back to cortex. In addition to a motor loop shown in detail in figure 13 :

36

Page 39: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

that projects to motor cortical structures , several other cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic-cortical loops have been defined anatomically (two are shown in figure 14, the dorsolateral frontal and orbitofrontal (limbic) loops) :

Additionally, there is a sub-circuit from the globus pallidus to the subthalamic nucleus, and back to the globus pallidus shown in Figure 13.

Clinical syndromes: Parkinsonism

Loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (pars compacta) that normally project to the striatum is associated with rigidity, bradykinesia, tremor, and loss of postural reflexes. that characterize Parkinson's disease.

Hemiballismus (hemichorea) Hemiballismus is associated with damage to the contralateral subthalamic nucleus of Luys.

Huntington's chorea an hereditary disease characterized by progressive dementia and chorea, is associated with atrophy of the caudate nucleus. Strokes of the caudate, however, rarely cause chorea.

5.The Cerebral Cortex The primary sensory and motor areas You should know where primary visual, auditory, somatosensory and motor cortices are located:See figure 15.:

38

Page 41: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

1. The  visual  (striate)  cortex  (calcarine  cortex, occipital  lobes,  area 17)  Take  time  to review  the  visual  pathways:  retina  optic  nerve  optic  chiasm  optic  tract  lateral geniculate  body  optic  radiations  visual  cortex).  Note  that  anterior  to  the  optic chiasm, unilateral lesions produce visual deficits in only one eye, whereas posterior to  the  chiasm,  deficits  are  restricted  to  one  visual  field  (but  are  present  in  both eyes). See figure 11.  

2. The auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus, temporal lobe, within the Sylvian fissure).  3. The somatosensory cortex (post‐central gyrus, areas 3,1 and 2).

4. The motor cortex (pre‐central gyrus, area 4).  

Association cortex: 1. Unimodal  association  cortex:  Each of  the primary  sensory  cortices  is bordered by 

unimodal  association  cortex  (that  is, with  direct  connections  to  only  one  sensory modality).  

2. Polymodal and  supramodal association  cortices are  interconnected with unimodal association  areas  as  well  as  other  higher‐order  association  cortices.  Function  is thought  to  depend  upon  complex  networks  of  neurons  in  multiple  regions; nevertheless,  very  specific  functions  are  subserved  by  different  regions.  Some regions are specialized for specific language functions, others for visuospatial, etc.  

3. Prefrontal cortex: The expanse of cortex anterior to the motor and pre‐motor areas subserves  Aexecutive@  functions.  Patients  with  frontal  lobe  damage  may  have difficulty  using  information  not  immediately  at  hand  to  direct  behavior.  They therefore exhibit poor planning and judgement (see below).  

Cerebral dominance The two cerebral hemispheres are not functionally equivalent. The following functional asymmetries have been well-documented:

Language  

In over 95% of right‐handers, the  left hemisphere  is dominant  for  language.  In  left handers, either left hemisphere dominance or bilateral language capabilities are the commonest findings; right hemisphere dominance is also described.  

Handedness/praxis  

Handedness reflects a functional hemispheric asymmetry for fine motor ability. Limb apraxia results  from damage to the hemisphere opposite the dominant hand  (e.g., the left hemisphere, in right‐handers).  

Attention  

Severe  unilateral  neglect  is  seen  much  more  often  with  right  than  with  left hemisphere damage, reflecting (it is thought) a functional hemispheric asymmetry of attentional mechanisms.  

Visuospatial abilities  

Certain visuospatial skills are more highly developed in the right hemisphere.  

Emotion  

While  the  exact  nature  of  this  asymmetry  remains  to  be  defined,  the  emotional effects  of  left  hemisphere  damage  appear  to  be  different  from  those  of  right hemisphere  damage.  Left  frontal  lesions  are  more  likely  to  be  associated  with

depression, whereas  right  hemisphere  damage  is more  likely  to  cause  emotional flattening.  

Limbic cortex: emotion and memory. Anatomy (see figure 16) 

 

Limbus means rim. Structures of the limbic cortex form a ring around the brainstem and diencephalon. Limbic structures include (going in a circle) the amygdala, hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal, and insular cortex. Limbic regions tend to have a more primitive structure than neocortex, and are highly interconnected with basal forebrain and hypothalamus.

Function: Emotion  

Emotional behavior entails endocrine, autonomic and motor changes  regulated by the hypothalamus. Because  the  limbic  forebrain  is  interposed between neocortex and hypothalamus,  it  is  logical  to  suppose  that  it mediates  cortical  influence over

hypothalamic function. Clinical and experimental data confirms this for a portion of the  limbic  forebrain:  in  animals,  lesions  of  the  orbitofrontal  and  temperopolar cortex, and of the amygdala, are associated with changes  in emotional behavior. In humans, seizures arising from medial temporal structures (especially the amygdala) can be manifested by emotional feelings such as fear.  

Memory  

Lesions  affecting  the  hippocampus  and  its  connections  do  not  appear  to  affect emotions,  but  instead  can  profoundly  affect  memory.  Discrete  lesions  in  the following structures can cause isolated and profound memory disturbances:  

•  the hippocampus and adjacent temporal cortex (entorhinal and perirhinal cortex).  

•    the  medial  thalamus  (anterior  thalamus,  mamillothalamic  tract,  dorsomedial thalamus)  

•  the basal forebrain, perhaps especially the cholinergic neurons of the septal nuclei the diagonal band of Broca that project to the hippocampus. Other structures in this complex area may also contribute to memory.  

Clinical syndromes Only a few will be mentioned.

Aphasia is most often associated with damage to left hemisphere cortex. The following distinctions are useful:

Summary of the aphasias 

Syndrome  Spont. Speech Comprehension Repetition  Naming

Perisylvian aphasias       

Broca's  Non‐fluent ("Telegraphic") Good Poor  Poor

Wernicke's  Fluent (phonemic paraphasias) Poor Poor  Poor

Conduction  Fluent (phonemic paraphasias) Good Poor  Poor

Global  Non‐fluent  Poor Poor  Poor

Trans‐cortical aphasias        

Transcortical motor  Non‐fluent  Good Good  Var.

Transcortical sensory Fluent (semantic paraphasias) Poor Good  Poor

Mixed Transcortical  Non‐fluent  Poor Good  Poor

Anomic  Fluent (circumlocution..) Good Good  Poor

The peri­sylvian aphasias 

Structures around the sylvian fissure mediate auditory language repetition. Auditory signals are processed by Heschl's gyrus (primary auditory cortex), and phonemic analysis probably takes place in the adjacent auditory association cortex (Wernicke's area). Speech is encoded by more anterior regions (among them, Broca's area, in front of the motor cortex), and these regions direct the adjacent motor cortex to produce the appropriate movements. Damage to any of these regions impairs language repetition, the hallmark of the perisylvian aphasias. Language comprehension requires that the phonetically analyzed information be communicated to regions outside the perisylvian region (among them, the angular gyrus).

Broca's aphasia

Characterized  by  non‐fluent  speech,  poor  repetition  and  relatively  spared comprehension. Lesions are in Broca's area and adjacent cortex.  

Wernicke's aphasia  

Fluent, but nonsensical speech with phonemic paraphasias (substitution of incorrect sounds),  and  impaired  repetition  and  comprehension.  Lesions  are  in Wernicke's area.  

Conduction aphasia  

Fluent speech, spared comprehension, and poor repetition. Lesions may disconnect Wernicke's from Broca's area.  

Global aphasia  

Non‐fluent speech, poor repetition and poor comprehension. The entire perisylvian cortex is involved.  

The transcortical aphasias 

These are characterized by intact repetition. Lesions are more varied than with perisylvian aphasias. In addition to the cortical localizations noted, transcortical aphasias may result from subcortical damage.

Transcortical motor aphasia  

Speech  is  non‐fluent,  but  repetition  and  comprehension  are  spared.  Lesions  are frontal, but spare Broca's area.  

Transcortical sensory aphasia  

Speech  is  fluent,  but  empty,  and  often  semantic  paraphasias  (substitutions  of incorrect words)  are  found.  Comprehension  is  impaired,  but  repetition  is  normal. Lesions are posterior, but spare Wernicke's area.  

Anomic aphasia  

This  can  be  conceived  of  as  a  mild  transcortical  sensory  aphasia,  in  which comprehension  is  not  affected,  but  naming  is  impaired.  Speech  is  fluent,  with circumlocution (when the patient cannot find a word). Repetition is normal. Angular and middle temporal gyrus lesions, as well as other areas, have been implicated.  

Mixed transcortical aphasia  

Non‐fluent speech, with poor comprehension, but normal  repetition. Patients may echo  fragments  of  other's  speech  (echolalia).  Lesions  usually  encompass  thos  of both  transcortical motor  and  transcortical  sensory  aphasias,  and  are most  often from watershed infarctions associated with severe carotid artery stenosis.

Disconnection syndromes 

Neurological deficits may result not only from destruction of cortical regions that subserve specific functions, but also from disconnections between these areas. An example is the syndrome of alexia without agraphia (pure word blindness, Djerine's syndrome). Most commonly caused by left posterior cerebral artery territory infarction, the lesion disconnects the right visual cortex from the left hemisphere language centers. The left visual cortex is destroyed. The patient cannot read in the intact left visual field, but other language functions are normal. See figure 18.

Unilateral neglect 

Patients fail to respond, or respond more slowly, to stimuli presented in the field opposite the lesion. They may initially appear hemianopic, or hemianesthetic, but eventually it can be shown that sensory function is normal, if their attention can be maintained. Patients may also have anosognosia: failure to recognize their deficits. They may explicitly deny a hemiplegia, or fail to recognize that they have had a stroke. Neglect is more frequent and more severe with right than with left hemisphere lesions.

The amnesic syndrome 

The core features of the amnesic syndrome are: (1) Anterograde amnesia, an inability to learn new information after the onset of amnesia. (2) Retrograde

45

Page 48: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

amnesia, an inability to retrieve information that was learned prior to the onset of amnesia. (3) Normal attention and intellectual function: Many amnesics have normal language, praxis, visuospatial, and even frontal lobe function. Unless you specifically test memory, they may appear to be normal. Furthermore, certain kinds of memory are spared in the amnesic syndrome: patients can learn routines such as motor skills, and mirror reading; their behavior may be influenced by information that they cannot consciously recall. These spared functions are thus mediated by different brain structures. It is thought, for example, that motor memories and habits may be mediated through the basal ganglia, but this remains to be clarified. Diseases associated with the amnesic syndrome include stroke or tumor, if any of the critical areas is affected, head injury, Wernicke-Korsakoff disorder from thiamine deficiency, and Alzheimer's disease (which affects the hippocampus and basal forebrain). In Alzheimer's disease, cognitive deficits (aphasia, apraxia, visuospatial disorders) soon combine with amnesia to produce a more complex clinical picture.

Frontal lobe syndromes 

The frontal lobes have a high-order executive role in behavior. Without their guidance, we are left at the mercy of immediate stimuli. Frontal patients may therefore demonstrate stimulus-bound behavior: they may use available objects even when there is no reason to do so (utilization behavior), they perseverate (re-use the most recent responses), and they do not seek understanding beyond what is most obvious. They may demonstrate pseudopsychopathic behavior, failing to consider the consequences of their actions, making irresponsible decisions in business, and at times making inappropriate sexual advances (despite often overall reduced libido). Patients with frontal dementias also fail to organize their experience, and do not plan for the future. They often forget things, not because they cannot encode new memories, but because they fail to initiate memory searches when appropriate. For example, the patient may be told to go to the store to buy five items, but when he gets to the store he is attracted to a magazine, reads it, and then comes home with nothing. When asked why he was sent to the store, he can recall the items he was supposed to have purchased; he just forgot to remember them when it was appropriate. [The patient with the classical amnesic syndrome would not recall the list after distraction.] Patients with orbitofrontal lesions appear to have most difficulty inhibiting inappropriate behavior. Patients with medial lesions tend to be akinetic, and fail to initiate behavior.

6.The Peripheral Nervous System, Neuromuscular Junction, and Muscle Neurological problems frequently result from lesions that spare the central nervous system, but involve nerve roots, plexuses, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction

or muscle. We cannot hope to review the anatomy of all the nerves and muscles in the body, but we will summarize the deficits resulting from pathology in various peripheral sites, and will list a few nerves that you should be familiar with.

Roots, plexuses and nerves: Motor deficits  

These are the features of lower motor neuron dysfunction, and include weakness, atrophy, and, at times, fasciculations (spontaneous firing of one nerve fiber, resulting in contraction of the muscles fibers that it innervates). The distribution depends upon the nerve(s) affected.  

Sensory deficits  

These may reflect damage to large sensory fibers (loss of vibration and position) or to small fibers (loss of pain and temperature) or both.  

Autonomic deficits  

Changes in skin temperature and sweating often accompany peripheral nerve lesions, but are difficult to assess reliably.  

Tendon reflexes  

mediated by affected nerves are diminished or absent, unless the lesion spares large sensory fibers that carry the afferent impulse from muscle spindles to the spinal cord.  

Neuromuscular junction Diseases restricted to the neuromuscular junction obviously produce no sensory symptoms. The distribution of weakness depends upon the condition: myasthenia gravis has a predilection for eyelid, extraocular, bulbar and proximal limb muscles, and thus presents most commonly with ptosis, diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and proximal limb weakness.

Muscle For reasons that are not clear, most primary diseases of muscle (myopathies) present with weakness that is greater proximally than distally. Myopathy should be strongly considered in patients with proximal weakness, normal sensation, and normal or depressed reflexes (severe muscle weakness or damage to the muscle spindle may depress reflexes in myopathy).

A more detailed consideration of the distribution of findings in disorders affecting roots, plexus and peripheral nerves The diagnosis of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system affecting the peripheral nervous system begins with localization. Although it is not possible to teach you a single set of algorithms that cover every condition, the following are basic and clinically very useful distinctions:

Median nerve  

Focal neuropathies (mononeuropathy, multiple mononeuropathy) 

These are isolated disturbances of single, named, peripheral nerves, such as the median or peroneal nerves. Pain can be a prominent complaint.

Mononeuropathies 

Involvement of a single nerve. Trauma and nerve entrapments are the usual causes. You should be familiar with the following commonly affected nerves:

Median nerve  

Often compressed as it runs through the carpal tunnel, the median nerve supplies sensation to the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger, and the lateral aspect of the palm. Atrophy and weakness is most obvious in the thenar muscles (abductor and opponens pollicis muscles). Carpal tunnel syndrome usually presents with pain associated with wrist flexion or extension (which narrow the carpal tunnel), and intermittent numbness. The pain may be referred to the forearm, arm, shoulder or even neck; the numbness is in the distribution of the median nerve.  

Ulnar nerve  

Often damaged as it wraps around the elbow, the ulnar nerve supplies sensation to the little and half of the ring finger, and the adjacent portions of the hand. Atrophy and weakness affect the interossei (most visible in the first dorsal interosseous muscle), and thumb adductor. Finger spreading and thumb adduction are weak.  

Radial nerve  

Usually compressed in the arm as it winds around the humerus, the radial nerve supplies sensation to the portions of the hand not innervated by median or ulnar nerves, but motor deficits predominate. There is wrist drop with weakness of finger and wrist extensors. The brachioradialis muscle is also affected. Usually the nerve is compressed after it has given off its branches to the triceps, so this muscle (and the triceps reflex) is spared.  

Peroneal nerve  

48

Page 51: SEMESTER V BLOCK 9v1.fk.ub.ac.id/id/pu/BlockIX TA 2009-2010 Student...5) Sudjari, dr. (Department of Parasitology) 6) Mudjiwiyono, dr, SpPA. (Department of Pathology Anatomy) 7) Dr

 

 

The peroneal nerve is often damaged as it runs behind the head of the fibula just below the knee. Deficits include a foot drop with weakness of ankle eversion and dorsiflexion, and sensory loss along the anterolateral aspect of the leg and the dorsum of the foot.  

Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve  

This purely sensory nerve supplies sensation to the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. Patients complain of tingling or burning sensation in this region. The syndrome is called meralgia paresthetica. It is thought to result from entrapment or compression of the nerve as it crosses the inguinal ligament.  

Multifocal neuropathy 

(AKA multiple mononeuropathy, or mononeuropathy multiplex): Successive involvement of individual nerves. When the onset of symptoms in each nerve is acute and associated with pain, suspect a vasculitis (inflammation affecting the vasa nervorum).

Polyneuropathy 

Polyneuropathy is the commonest generalized disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system. In polyneuropathy, usually the longest nerves are affected most severely. The initial symptoms are therefore in the feet (tingling, burning, numbness), and the earliest signs are atrophy of intrinsic foot muscles, a graded stocking distribution of sensory loss, and decreased or absent ankle stretch reflexes. As the neuropathy becomes more severe, the sensory loss ascends the legs, and then begins in the fingers. Polyneuropathies are most often caused by drugs, toxins, and metabolic diseases.

Polyradiculoneuropathies 

This term is used to describe processes that can affect many portions of many nerves, resulting in both proximal and distal motor and/or sensory changes, usually with diffusely hypoactive or absent tendon reflexes. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP, commonly known as the Guillain-Barr syndrome), an autoimmune process, is the commonest example of such a neuropathy.

Plexopathy 

This localization should be suspected when there are motor and reflex deficits restricted to one limb, but involving more than the territory of a single nerve or nerve root. Pain is common. Trauma, tumors, and autoimmune neuropathies may affect the brachial or lumbosacral plexus. Diabetes is a common cause of lumbosacral plexopathy.

Radiculopathy 

Radiculopathy is commonly associated with pain radiating from the neck or back to the limb. Motor, sensory and reflex deficits may be absent or slight. When present, they should be confined to the distribution of a single nerve root. Herniated disks, spondylosis, and Herpes zoster (shingles) are common causes of radiculopathy. Tumors must be considered; Lyme disease may present with polyradiculopathy. Disks, spondylosis, and tumors may also compress the spinal cord, producing combined radiculopathy and myelopathy (spinal cord dysfunction).

A note about diabetes 

A note about diabetes: This is far from neuroanatomy, but this is a convenient place to mention that diabetes can cause almost any kind of neuropathy. Polyneuropathy, plexopathy, radiculopathy, mononeuropathy and multifocal neuropathy have all been ascribed to diabetes.

This creates an interesting finding on the reflex examination: when you tap the biceps tendon, the elbow extends! This occurs because (1)ðthe biceps reflex is reduced, and (2)ðthe triceps reflex is so brisk that the movement induced by tapping the biceps tendon triggers a triceps reflex. This has been called Ainversion of the biceps reflex. In addition, the finger flexor reflex can also be triggered.

It is now known that there are multiple representations of the homunculus in primary motor and sensory cortices, and there are multiple visual association areas, ecah subserving a different function (e.g., perception of color, form, or motion). This suggests that there is parallel processing of motor and sensory information. We know that spatial localization of visual stimuli is mediated by projections from occipital to parietal cortex, whereas the identification of objects by vision is mediated by projections from occipital to inferior temporal cortex. Bilateral parietal lesions can impair the patient=s ability to understand the spatial relations of objects, each of which can be identified; whereas bilateral inferotemporal lesions can impair object identification, without impairing spatial localization.

Skill Headache history (Neurology) Tuesday, 25-9-2009

Learning outcome

Take a history from a patient who presents with a headache and differentiate between the following:

• Migraine • Tension Headache • Raised intracranial pressure • Meningism

Learning point! Headaches involve mild to severe pain in one or more parts of the head as well as the back of the neck. There are many different types of headache and these will be covered in your attachments and further studies. A few causes for headaches include:-

MIGRAINE HEADACHES: The term migraine is a corruption of the latin hemicrania or 'half the head'. Classical migraine is a headache which involves one half of the head at a time with other associated symptoms like photophobia (light insensitivity), visual upset, nausea, sleepiness and tingling. It afflicts about 2% of the population and can be dramatic in its effects, lasting from an hour to several days, causing the patient to leave work and lie down in a dark room. Common migraine affects about 10% of the population with generalised throbbing headache all over the head and drowsiness. Migraine headaches can vary in presentation and can cause a considerable impact on the daily life of sufferers. Some of the diagnostic points to migraine include:-

• Attacks can last from 4 to 72 hours • Patients are usually symptom-free between attacks • Typcailly has two of the following features:

a. Unilateral (on one side) b. Pulsating c. Moderate to severe d. Aggravated by routine activities

• Accompanying symptoms may include a. Photophobia (more sensitive to light) b. Phonophobia (more sensitive to noise) c. Nausea and Vomiting

Approximately 10 per cent of patients will have reversible sensory symptoms in the hour preceding the headache. These symptoms are known as aura and will often include visual changes, such as zigzag lines or scotoma (holes in the vision), but a variety of other symptoms may also occur. Other symptoms include, dizziness, numbness and "word salading" (words being mixed up). About 40 per cent of patients describe more vague symptoms of aura that can last substantially longer. In the day or two before an attack, prodromal symptoms, such as cravings and lethargy, can be observed. From within these two groups of symptoms, useful warnings can be identified and patients taking simple treatments during such a warning may have success in heading off a migraine before it has started. Often ignored is the postdrome phase of migraine. Once the headache has subsided the postdrome usually involves the patient feeling quite washed out or hung-over. In some patients: certain foods can trigger migraine headaches (e.g. chocolate, coffee); can occur with menses or when the patient is over tired.

TENSION TYPE HEADACHES: Less than 2% of the population never experience the minor irritating headaches that afflicts most of us from time to time. No one knows why we suffer tension headache. They tend to come at times of stress and often result in a vicious cycle of worry and concern for the patient. Typically tension headaches are mild to moderate only, non-pulsating and bilateral. Sensory sensitivity to noise or light is more likely to be associated with migraine headaches. Difficulties arise when patients who are suffering from migraine are misdiagnosed as having tension headache. They then do not receive appropriate management. Patients often describe the pain as a 'feeling of tightness or squeezing' or a ‘tight band’ across their head. The causes of tension headache are not known. It is possible but rare to get tension headache without exacerbations - causing daily or near daily background symptoms.

MENINGISM: This is the state of abnormal irritation of the lining of the brain - the meninges. Infection by viruses, bacteria and other organisms can result in meningitis. The spinal fluid in healthy people looks clear, but when a blood vessel bursts, producing blood-stained cerebrospinal fluid, the linings of the brain are painfully irritated causing headache. The characteristics of this are - pain at the back of the neck, with resistance to passive flexion of the neck (neck stiffness) and drowsiness. The patient may find that movement aggravates and lying still may partly relive their pain.

SYMPTOMS OF RASIED PRESSURE WITHIN THE SKULL: These are particularly important to recognise. The brain in adults lies in an enclosed bony box, with a few narrow portals of entry, the principal being the foramen magnum when the spinal cord and brain are joined together. When pressure rises within the head the lowest parts of the brain, the medulla and the cerebellar tonsils are forced into the foramen magnum. This is potentially lethal. There are many causes for increased intracranial pressure including brain tumours. It is important that early symptoms of increased intracranial pressure be recognised. The cardinal feature is steadily increasing headache day by day, worse in the morning with drowsiness. The headache may be made worse by coughing, stooping or straining manoeuvres which increase the pressure within the head of normal individuals. Where the space for expansion is reduced in disease states, headache results.

There are many other types of headaches (e.g. temple arteritis, cluster headaches, referred pain from sinusitis /dental pain / TMJ dysfunction / many more…..) which will be covered later on in your course. One type of headache worth mentioning are headaches due to subarachnoid haemorrhage : A subarachnoid haemorrhage is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. It is a very rare condition (there are less than 10,000 in the UK every year) although it is always serious and needs urgent medical attention. There are three membranes that cover the brain and spinal chord. Together they are known as the Meninges. They are: Pia mater (inner membrane), Arachnoid mater (middle membrane), and Dura mater (outer membrane). Between the inner membrane and the middle membrane is a network of blood vessels which are surrounded by a clear fluid (known as cerebrospinal fluid). In a subarachnoid haemorrhage, one of these blood vessels bursts and blood leaks out into this subarachnoid space. Typically, but not always, patients will describe their headache as the worst ever, and is usually (but again not always) of sudden onset. Neck stiffness may take hours to develop. In elderly patients particularly, classic symptoms and signs may be absent.
