    Cortex Brainstem Spinal Cord Thalamus Cerebellum Basal Ganglia

    Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology HST.131: Introduction to Neuroscience Course Director: Dr. David Corey Motor Systems I 1 Emad Eskandar, MD Motor Systems I - Muscles & Spinal Cord Introduction Normal motor function requires the coordination of multiple inter-elated areas of the CNS. Understanding the contributions of these areas to generating movements and the disturbances that arise from their pathology are important challenges for the clinician and the scientist. Despite the importance of diseases that cause disorders of movement, the precise function of many of these areas is not completely clear. The main constituents of the motor system are the cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord. Cortex Basal Ganglia Cerebellum Thalamus Brainstem Spinal Cord In very broad terms, cortical motor areas initiate voluntary movements. The cortex projects to the spinal cord directly, through the corticospinal tract - also known as the pyramidal tract, or indirectly through relay areas in the brain stem. The cortical output is modified by two parallel but separate re­ entrant side loops. One loop involves the basal ganglia while the other loop involves the cerebellum. The final outputs for the entire system are the alpha motor neurons of the spinal cord, also called the Lower Motor Neurons. Cortex: Planning and initiation of voluntary movements and integration of inputs from other brain areas. Basal Ganglia: Enforcement of desired movements and suppression of undesired movements. Cerebellum: Timing and precision of fine movements, adjusting ongoing movements, motor learning of skilled tasks Brain Stem: Control of balance and posture, coordination of head, neck and eye movements, motor outflow of cranial nerves Spinal Cord: Spontaneous reflexes, rhythmic movements, motor outflow to body.

Quite aside from my personal gratification at being invited to lecture on this foundation, I am especially pleased because of my long friendship with Dr. George Ellett Coghill, the founder in America of work on embryonic movements, who served the University of Kansas School of Medicine from 1913 to 1925. It has also been my privilege to know for a long time both Dr. Henry Carroll Tracy, his successor as Chairman of the Depart• ment at Kansas, and the present Chairman, Dr. Paul Gib• bons Roofe. I am indebted for many things to many people too numerous to name here, but it would be falling short of both justice and courtesy were I to omit expressing my debt to many colleagues, past and present, including Dr. Tryphena Humphrey, Dr. Ira D.

  • Development of the Flexion Withdrawal Reflex

    Development of the Flexion Withdrawal Reflex

    Spinal sensory processing in the human infant: Development of the flexion withdrawal reflex Laura Louise Cornelissen Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2011 1 Declaration The work in this thesis was conducted in the Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology at University College London, and in the Elizabeth Anderson and Obstetrics Wing at University College Hospital. I, Laura Louise Cornelissen, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where other information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Laura Louise Cornelissen March 2011 2 Abstract Immature spinal sensory reflexes have lower mechanical thresholds and are poorly coordinated and exaggerated compared to adult reflexes. However, little quantitative data is available on how these spinal sensory circuits develop in the human infant. This thesis investigates the development of cutaneous flexion withdrawal reflexes in preterm and full- term human infants following noxious and non-noxious stimulation of the heel, and tests whether flexion withdrawal reflex activity is modulated by the commonly administered analgesic, oral sucrose, in a randomised controlled trial. The studies were undertaken in infants aged 28-45 weeks gestation (GA), in-patients at University College Hospital, London. The noxious stimulus was a clinically required heel lance; non-noxious stimulation was either a light touch of the heel or application of calibrated von Frey hairs to the heel. Flexion withdrawal reflex activity was recorded with surface EMG electrodes placed over the biceps femoris muscle. Video recordings of facial expression were recorded for clinical pain assessment.

Teasdall, MD* Multiple stretch reflexes occur in muscles adjacent to or remote from the tap. The response may be ipsilateral or bilateral. These reflexes are encountered not only in normal subjects with brisk stretch reflexes but particularly in patients with lesions of the upper motor neuron. The concussion obtained by the blow is conducted along bone to muscle. Muscle spindles are stimulated, and in this manner independent stretch reflexes are produced in these muscles. This mechanism is responsible for the phenomenon of multiple stretch reflexes. The thorax and pelvis play important roles in the contralateral responses by transmitting these mechanical events across the midline.

  • The Five-Minute Neurological Examination

    The Five-Minute Neurological Examination

    THE FIVE-MINUTE NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION Ralph F. Józefowicz, MD Introduction The neurologic examination is considered by many to be daunting. It may seem tedious, time consuming, overly detailed, idiosyncratic, and even capricious. Every neurologist has his/her own version of the examination, and may appear to use “magical thinking” to come up with a diagnosis at the end. In reality, the examination is quite simple. When performing the neurological examination, it is important to keep the purpose of the examination in mind, namely to localize the lesion. A basic knowledge of neuroanatomy is necessary to interpret the examination. The key to performing an efficient neurological examination is observation. More than half of the neurological examination is performed by simply observing the patient – how he/she speaks, thinks, walks, moves, and simply interacts with the examiner. A skillful observer will already localize a lesion, based on simple observations. Formalized testing merely refines the diagnosis, and may only require several additional steps. Performing an overly detailed neurological examination without a purpose in mind is a waste of time, and often yields incidental findings that cloud the picture. The following three pages contain an outline of the components of the five-minute neurological examination, followed by a suggested order for performing this examination. I have also included a detailed handout describing the components of a comprehensive neurological examination, as well as the significance of abnormal findings. Numerous tables are included in this handout to aid in neurological diagnosis. Finally, a series of short cases are included, which illustrate how an efficient and focused neurological examination allows one to make an accurate neurological diagnosis.

  • Deep Tendon Reflexes

    Deep Tendon Reflexes

    Reflex Physiology Dr. Ali Ebneshahidi © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Physiology . Reflexes are automatic, subconscious response to changes within or outside the body. a. Reflexes maintain homeostasis (autonomic reflexes) – heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and digestion. b. Reflexes also carry out the automatic action of swallowing, sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. c. Reflexes maintain balance & posture. ex. Spinal reflexes – control trunk and limb muscles. d. Brain reflexes – involve reflex center in brain stem. ex. Reflexes for eye movement. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Arc The reflex arc governs the operation of reflexes. Nerve impulses follow nerve pathways as they travel through the nervous system. The simplest of these pathways, including a few neurons, constitutes a reflex arc. Reflexes whose arc pass through the spinal cord are called spinal reflexes. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Parts of Reflex Arc . 1. Receptor – detects the stimulus. a) Description: the receptor end of a particular dendrite or a specialized receptor cell in a sensory organ. b) function: sensitive to a specific type of internal or external change. 2. sensory neuron – conveys the sensory info. to brain or spinal cord. a. Description: Dendrite, cell body, and axon of a sensory neuron. b. Function: transmit nerve impulses from the receptor into the brain or spinal cord. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Arc . 3.
