• The brain, and the brain alone, is the source of our pleasures, joys, laughter, and amusement, as well as our sorrow, pain, grief, and tears.
Hippocrates, ca. 400

HUMAN BRAIN• Human brain substantially greater in size (350g vs 1200g).
• The prefrontal cortex 3.5 % of the total cortical volume in cats and 11.5% in monkeys but close to 30 % in humans brain.
• Relative representation of other regions is decreased in the human brain; (primary visual cortex 1.5 percent of the total area in humans but its close to 17% in monkeys.

CELLS• Human brain 1011 nerve cells
• Neurons four morphologically identified regions
• 1) The cell body, or soma containing the nucleus; considered the metabolic center of the neuron.
• 2) The dendrites, processes arising from the cell body, branch extensively; serve as the major recipient zones of input.
![Page 6: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• 3) The axon, a single process that arises from a specialized portion of the cell body (the axon hillock) and conveys information to other neurons
• 4) The axon terminals, fine branches near the end of the axon that form contacts (synapses).

Cerebral Features:
• Sulci – Small grooves dividing the gyri
– Central Sulcus – Divides the Frontal Lobe from the Parietal Lobe
• Fissures – Deep grooves, generally dividing large regions/lobes of the brain
– Longitudinal Fissure – Divides the two Cerebral Hemispheres
– Transverse Fissure – Separates the Cerebrum from the Cerebellum
– Sylvian/Lateral Fissure – Divides the Temporal Lobe from the Frontal and Parietal Lobes
• Gyri – Elevated ridges “winding” around the brain.

A: Primary Motor Cortex
* This graphic representation of the regions of the Primary Motor Cortex and Primary Sensory Cortex is one example of a HOMUNCULUS:
![Page 36: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Q: What do you notice about the proportions depicted in the aforementioned homunculus?
Q: What is meant by depicting these body parts in such outrageous proportions?
A: They are not depicted in the same scale representative of the human body.
A: These outrageous proportions depict the cortical area devoted to each structure.
- Ex: Your hands require many intricate movements and sensations to function properly. This requires a great deal of cortical surface area to control these detailed actions. Your back is quite the opposite, requiring limited cortical area to carry out its actions and functions, or detect sensation.
* Note: Homunculus literally means “little person,” and may refer to one whose body shape is governed by the cortical area devoted to that body region.
![Page 37: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Further Investigation
Phineas Gage: Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in the 19th century living in Cavendish, Vermont. One of his jobs was to set off explosive charges in large rock in order to break them into smaller pieces. On one of these instances, the detonation occurred prior to his expectations, resulting in a 42 inch long, 1.2 inch wide, metal rod to be blown right up through his skull and out the top. The rod entered his skull below his left cheek bone and exited after passing through the anterior frontal lobe of his brain.
![Page 38: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Remarkably, Gage never lost consciousness, or quickly regained it (there is still some debate), suffered little to no pain, and was awake and alert when he reached a doctor approximately 45 minutes later. He had a normal pulse and normal vision, and following a short period of rest, returned to work several days later. However, he was not unaffected by this accident.
![Page 39: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Gage’s personality, reasoning, and capacity to understand and follow social norms had been diminished or destroyed. He illustrated little to no interest in hobbies or other involvements that at one time he cared for greatly. ‘After the accident, Gage became a nasty, vulgar, irresponsible vagrant. His former employer, who regarded him as "the most efficient and capable foreman in their employ previous to his injury," refused to rehire him because he was so different.’

FUNCTIONAL BRAIN SYSTEMS
• The relations between the organizational principles and the structural components of the human brain are illustrated in three functional systems:
the thalamocortical,basal ganglia, and limbic systems
![Page 41: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Thalamocortical Systems• Thalamus: Group of nuclei located medial to the basal
ganglia that serves as the major synaptic relay station for the information reaching the cerebral cortex
• the thalamic nuclei can be divided into six groups: anterior, medial, lateral, reticular, intralaminar, and midline nuclei
![Page 42: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
BASAL GANGLIA• Basal ganglia are a collection of nuclei that have been
grouped together on the basis of their interconnections• play an important role in regulating movement and in
certain disorders of movement eg chorea ,dyskinesia,athetosis,tremors
• include the caudate nucleus, the putamen, the globus pallidus (referred to as the paleostriatum or pallidum), the subthalamic nucleus, and the substantia nigra
![Page 44: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
![Page 45: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• striatum ->caudate nucleus + the putamen together; • corpus striatum -> caudate nucleus +putamen + globus
pallidus; • lentiform nucleus-> putamen + globus pallidus
![Page 46: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
FUNCTIONAL CIRCUITS OF BASAL GANGLIA
• INPUTS:• The striatum is the major recipient of the inputs to the basal
ganglia. Three major afferent systems are known to terminate in the striatum: the corticostriatal, nigrostriatal, and thalamostriatal afferents.
• Disruption of the input pathways of the basal ganglia has been associated with some movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease
![Page 47: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
![Page 48: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
INTERNAL PROCESSING
![Page 49: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• The intrinsic circuitry of the basal ganglia is disrupted by a severe loss of neurons in the striatum in Huntington's disease.
This autosomal-dominant disorder is characterized by progressive chorea and dementia
![Page 50: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
OUTPUTS
![Page 51: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• globus palllidus provides a projection to the ventral lateral and ventral anterior nuclei of the thalamus and to the intralaminar thalamic nuclei, particularly the central median nucleus
• The pars reticulata of the substantia nigra also provides a projection to the ventral anterior and ventral lateral thalamic nuclei.
• the basal ganglia are able to indirectly influence the output of the primary motor cortex through thalamic nuclei.
![Page 52: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

• Functions of basal ganglia:• important in the control of movement
• recent studies of the connections of the basal ganglia in nonhuman primates also support a role for these structures in cognitive functions.
![Page 54: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
LIMBIC SYSTEM
• the cingulate and parahippocampal gyri (limbic cortex),
• the hippocampal formation,(dentate gyrus, the hippocampus, and the subicular complex)
• the amygdala,
• the septal area, the hypothalamus, and
• related thalamic and cortical areas.
![Page 55: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
FUNCTIONS OF LIMBIC SYSTEM
• Integration of olfactory, visceral, somatic impulses• Control of activities necessary for survival of animal• Control of activities necessary survival of species• Emotional behaviour• Retention of recent memory
![Page 56: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
• In 1937, James Papez postulated, primarily on the basis of anatomical data, that these cortical regions were linked to the hippocampus, mammillary body, and anterior thalamus in a circuit that mediated emotional behavior
![Page 57: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
neural circuit for emotion as originally proposed by James Papez
![Page 58: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• However, over the last 40 years, it has become clear that some limbic structures (for example, the hippocampus) are also involved in other complex brain processes, such as memory
• Other cognitive processes with the hypothalamus and its output pathways that control autonomic, somatic, and endocrine functions
![Page 59: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
• LIMBIC CORTEX• composed of two general regions, the cingulate gyrus and
the parahippocampal gyrus
• ENTORHINAL CORTEX(Brodmann’s area no 28)
• Receive projections from olfactory bulb
![Page 60: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
• HIPPOCAMPAL FORMATION• Three distinct zones—the dentate gyrus, the
hippocampus, and the subicular complex—constitute the hippocampal formation, which is located in the floor of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle
• These zones are composed of adjacent strips of cortical tissue
• On the basis of differences in the cytoarchitecture and connectivity, the hippocampus can be divided into three distinct fields, which have been labeled CA3, CA2, and CA1.

• Functional Circuits of limbic systemThe major structures of the limbic system are interconnected with each other and with other components of the nervous system in a variety of ways.. highly processed sensory information from the cingulate, the orbital and temporal cortices, and the amygdala is transmitted to the entorhinal cortex of the parahippocampal gyrus and then to the hippocampal formation. After traversing the intrinsic circuitry of the hippocampal formation, information is projected through the fornix either to the anterior thalamus, which, in turn, projects to the limbic cortex, or to the septal area and the hypothalamus. These latter two regions provide feedback to the hippocampal formation through the fornix. In addition, the mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus project to the anterior thalamus. Finally, the hypothalamus and the septal area project to the brainstem and the spinal cord
![Page 67: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

• Highly processed sensoryinformation, primarily from the association regions of the prefrontal and temporal cortices, projects to the amygdala. Output from the amygdala is conducted through two main pathways (Fig. 1.2-37). A dorsal route, the stria terminalis, accompanies the caudate nucleus in an arch around the temporal lobe and contains axons that project primarily to the septal area and the hypothalamus. The second major output route, the ventral amygdalofugal pathway, passes below the lenticular nucleus and contains fibers that terminate in a number of regions, including the septal area, the hypothalamus, and the medial dorsal thalamic nucleus. The medial dorsal nucleus, in turn, projects heavily to prefrontal and some temporal cortical regions.
![Page 69: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

• Both of these pathways reveal how the limbic system is able to integrate the highly processed sensory and cognitive information content of the cerebral cortical circuitry with the hypothalamic pathways that control autonomic and endocrine systems
![Page 71: Functional neuroanatomy of brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5549f37ab4c9050d488b55e1/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• the ventral amygdalofugal pathway also projects to the nucleus accumbens (ventral striatum), the area where the head of the caudate nucleus fuses with the putamen (Fig. This region sends efferents to the ventral palladium, an extension of the globus pallidus. This area, in turn, projects to the medial dorsal thalamic nucleus. The pathway indicates that the functions of the basal ganglia extend beyond the regulation of motor activities and shows the necessity of considering the function or dysfunction of particular brain regions in the context of all aspects of their circuitry.

Advantages of fMRINoninvasively record brain signals without risks of radiation
It can record on a spatial resolution in the region of 3-6 millimeters.
Disadvantages of fMRIBOLD signal is an indirect measure of neural activity
It is susceptible to influence by non-neural changes in the body
BOLD signals are most strongly associated with the input to a given area rather than with the output.
The temporal response of the blood supply is poor relative to the electrical signals that define neuronal communication.

Positron Emission Tomography• A PET scan is a radionuclide scan that produces a 3-D image or map of
functional processes such as blood flow, oxygen use and blood sugar (glucose) metabolism.
• Glucose is often combined with a radioactive substance (radiotracer) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), that's injected into the patient
• PET tracer emits positrons which annihilate with electrons up to a few millimeters away, causing two gamma photons to be emitted in opposite directions. A PET scanner detects these emissions as "coincident" in time
• Different tissues in your body take up different radionuclides at different rates.
• The number of positrons emitted by an organ or area of tissue indicates the amount of radioactive substance
• Intense color = high uptake = hot spots • Less intense color = low uptake of radioactive substance = cold spots.

• Uses a radioactive tracer material and detects gamma rays.
• In contrast with PET, the tracer used emits gamma radiation that is measured directly.
• SPECT have lower resolution than a PET scan.

How Radiology Can Aid Psychiatry
• Structural brain changes can be seen on CT
• MRI studies in patients can confirm significant differences in brain volume and structure
• Functional chemical changes can be seen on PET, SPECT and fMRI• altered blood flow and metabolism • PET and SPECT studies have demonstrated treatment
receptor occupancy and treatment progression
• Radiological studies of psychiatric populations add to available knowledge on the biological aspects of psychiatry.
