TP 2 Cerveau Antérieur TP 2 Cerveau Antérieur Par les membres du neuroclub : Florian Ruiz Timothy Mathieson Louise Trottet Patrick Jarlborg Et Jozsef Kiss 1 TP 2: Cerveau antérieur Sommaire A) Organisation générale et embryologie B) Cortex cérébral C) Ventricules latéraux D) Substance blanche E) Noyaux gris centraux F) Diencéphale/Ventricule 3 Mode d’emploi des TP : - les TP de neuroanatomie vous permettent de visualiser les concepts appris lors de l’unité Perception, Emotions et Comportement sur des pièces anatomiques et des images radiologiques. - l’interactivité rend les TP moins longs et plus intéressants : participez! Manipulez les pièces, posez vos questions, participez aux dissections. - les guides-TP contiennent suffisamment d’information pour vous dispenser de prendre des notes pendant les TP s. Attention, ils ne sont pas exhaustifs ni exempts d’erreur! Gardez à l’esprit qu’à chaque étape de l’exploration du SNC vous devrez être capable de repérer les structures impliquées dans le contrôle moteur et la perception somatosensorielle. Les TP seront toujours complétés d’une présentation du Pr. Kiss et d’un autre intervenant (Radiologie) afin de montrer ce que nous ne pouvons pas illustrer à l’aide des préparations macroscopiques. Venez préparé à ces TP afin d’en tirer le plus grand bénéfice. Ne soyez cependant pas effrayés par la longueur des guides-TP, dont le rôle est plus d’aider à au suivi et à la bonne compréhension des TPs que d’être appris par cœur. D’autres ressources pour aider à l’apprentissage: - forums de l’unité PEC - moniteurs de neuroanatomie - livres de référence : Duus’ Topical Diagnosis in Neurology; Netter’s atlas of neuroscience - site du neuroclub, polycopié de vascularisation 2 A) ORGANISATION GENERALE ET EMBRYOLOGIE 1. Composition Le cerveau antérieur est constitué des 2 hémisphères cérébraux (télencéphale) et d’une partie diencéphalique impaire et médiane. Télencéphale Substance grise : • Cortex o Néocortex (6 couches corticales) o Paléocortex (cortex primitif, moins de 6 couches p.ex. cortex piriforme) o Archicortex (cortex le plus primitif, 3 ou 4 couches p.ex. hippocampe) • Noyaux gris centraux o corps striés: globus pallidus et striatum (noyau caudé et putamen) o claustrum • Amygdale Substance blanche : • fibres commissurales (p.ex. commissure antérieure) • fibres associatives (p.ex. cingulum) • fibres de projection (p.ex. tractus cortico-spinal) Ventricules latéraux Diencéphale Substance grise • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Epithalamus • Subthalamus Substance blanche • Tractus optique • Fibres commissurales diencéphaliques (p.ex. chiasma optique) Troisième Ventricule 3 2. Embryologie Fig.1 Développement disproportionné du télencéphale La vésicule prosencéphalique donne deux vésicules latérales, les futurs hémisphères cérébraux. Contrairement aux vésicules latérales, la partie médiane, qui formera le diencéphale, se développe peu. Les hémisphères cérébraux vont progressivement entourer le diencéphale. Les cavités des vésicules télencéphaliques forment les ventricules latéraux. Les cavités télencéphaliques communiquent avec la cavité diencéphalique par le biais de foramens interventriculaires (trous de Monro). Les vésicules s'accolent au diencéphale pour former une unité anatomique. La zone verte indique la zone de « l’accolement » du télencéphale au diencéphale. 1) zone de future inflexion 2) 3e ventricule 3) hypothalamus 4) thalamus 5) éminence ganglionnaire médiane 6) éminence ganglionnaire latérale 7) plexus choroïde dans le foramen interventriculaire et le ventricule lateral 8) pallium (cortex) 9) ventricule lateral 10) cortex de l’hippocampe dorsal (archicortex) Fig.2 Développement des noyaux gris centraux Le pallium ou futur cortex cérébral (8) se développe dans le toit (voûte) des vésicules télencéphaliques, alors que leur plancher ou subpallium (région latéro-ventrale des vésicules) donne naissance aux éminences ganglionnaires médiane (5) et latérales (6) qui formeront les corps striés (qui correspondent au striatum et au pallidum). Ces structures font partie des noyaux gris centraux, également appelés ganglions de la base, et jouent un rôle dans le contrôle moteur et cognitif. Les autres composantes des noyaux gris centraux dérivent de structures diencéphaliques (subthalamus) ou mésencéphaliques (subsance noire). 4 Fig.3 Développement du lobe temporal La surface des hémisphères est initialement lisse, mais l'accroissement de surface et de volume s'accompagne d'un plissement donnant au cerveau son aspect caractéristique composé de sillons (scissures) et de circonvolutions. Les deux tiers de la superficie du cortex cérébral se trouvent enfouis au fond des sillons. Les vésicules télencéphaliques vont se développer premièrement vers le haut, puis vers l'arrière, vers le bas et enfin vers l'avant. Le télencéphale décrit donc une courbure à concavité antéro-interne, à l'intérieur de laquelle se trouve une zone, l’insula (1), se développant moins vite, et qui sera donc enfouie en profondeur. C'est au-dessus du lobe de l'insula que se développe le sillon latéral du cerveau (3) (scissure de Sylvius). 1. insula 2. lobe temporal en développement 3. sillon latéral 4. sillon central 5. sillon pariéto-occipital Fig.4 Développement des structures à concavité antérieure (en « fer à cheval ») Le développement massif des hémisphères cérébraux va significativement modifier la structure des ventricules latéraux. Lorsque les deux vésicules télencéphaliques commencent leur rotation à concavité antéro-interne, elles entraînent avec elles la cavité du ventricule latéral. La cavité ventriculaire va envoyer un prolongement dans le lobe frontal (corne antérieure, 3), puis dans le lobe temporal (corne inférieure, 5), et enfin dans le lobe occipital (corne postérieure, 6). Le noyau caudé (1) est également entraîné dans ce mouvement de rotation. Sa forme en « fer à cheval » explique sa double section sur les coupes frontales du cerveau. Le putamen (7), plus médian, ne participe pas à cette rotation et sera progressivement entouré par le noyau caudé. Ce pattern développemental est à l'origine de la forme en C des différentes structures (grand lobe limbique, ventricules latéraux, noyau caudé). Les plexus choroïdes ne se développent que dans la partie interne (corps, 2) des ventricules latéraux, les cornes antérieure, postérieure et les extrémités des cornes inférieures en sont dépourvues. 5 Fig.5 Coupe coronale générique du télencéphale au niveau du foramen interventriculaire, période foetale plus tardive A cause de leur accroissement massif, les hémisphères vont complètement circonscrire le diencéphale (ligne pointillée verte). La rotation en fer à cheval des hémisphères a entraîné certaines structures proches de la paroi ventriculaire dans les lobes temporaux. L'insula (11) commence à être enterré dans la profondeur du sillon latéral. La croissance importante des corps striés (6A, 6C, 6D, 6B) va épaissir la zone de jonction entre le télencéphale et le diencéphale, mettant les deux structures en continuité. Les feuillets méningés qui séparent ces structures vont fusionner mettant le thalamus en contact avec le plancher des hémisphères cérébraux. Une voie de passage se forme reliant les hémisphères au reste du système nerveux: la capsule interne (16). 1. ligne de fusion du télencéphale et diencéphale 2. 3e ventricule 3. hypothalamus 4. thalamus 5. pallidum (éminence ganglionnaire médiane) 6a. noyau caudé corps 6b. noyau caudé queue 6c. putamen 6d. claustrum 7. plexus choroïde du ventricule latéral 8. pallium (cortex) 9. ventricule latéral 10a. indusium griseum (vestige de l’hippocampe dorsal) 10b. cortex de l’hippocampe ventral 12. corps amygdaloïde 13. corps calleux 14. fornix 15. ventricule latéral corne inf 16. capsule interne 6 Fig.6 Commissures Les commissures télencéphaliques sont des fibres nerveuses qui relient les parties homologues du télencéphale des deux hémisphères droit et gauche. • corps calleux (1 et 2) • commissure du fornix (5) En plus des commissures télencéphaliques, il existe des commissures au niveau du diencéphale. • commissure postérieure (3) • commissure habénulaire (4) • commissure antérieure (6) • chiasma optique (7) 7 B) CORTEX CEREBRAL Il existe plusieurs manières de délimiter les zones du cortex. La première, détaillée dans le TP1, se fonde sur les limites structurelles du cerveau (telles que sillons et gyrus), et est de ce point de vue strictement anatomique. La deuxième manière consiste à cartographier les zones du cerveau selon leur fonction. Les aires fonctionnelles ainsi élaborées ont des limites plus variables, qu’il n’est généralement pas possible d’identifier anatomiquement. Il est donc important de faire la différence entre délimitations fonctionnelle et anatomique. Une zone anatomique peut présenter plusieurs fonctions différentes. On s’imagine donc bien que les aires fonctionnelles n’ont pas de limites précises et qu’elles peuvent se chevaucher. Noter que dans certaines régions, comme le cortex moteur primaire, les frontières anatomiques correspondent aux frontières fonctionnelles. Cependant, cette vision cartographiée du cortex cérébral est largement considérée comme étant dépassée de nos jours. Il faut la contraster avec une autre conception reposant sur le précepte que les fonctions reposent dans des réseaux à large échelle, impliquant plusieurs aires corticales, plutôt que des secteurs isolés du cortex. Cette vision n’exclut pas pour autant l’importance d’aires corticales données pour des fonctions précises ; elle considère ces aires corticales comme des nœuds centraux de réseaux complexes.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Multiple Sclerosis: a Study of Pulse-Technique Efficacy
    691 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Multiple Sclerosis: A Study of Pulse-Technique Efficacy Val M. Runge1 Forty-two patients with the clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis were examined by Ann C. Price1 proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 0.5 T. An extensive protocol was used to Howard S. Kirshner2 facilitate a comparison of the efficacy of different pulse techniques. Results were also Joseph H. Allen 1 compared in 39 cases with high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (CT). MRI revealed characteristic abnormalities in each case, whereas CT was positive in only 15 C. Leon Partain 1 of 33 patients. Milder grades 1 and 2 disease were usually undetected by CT, and in all A. Everette James, Jr.1 cases, the abnormalities noted on MRI were much more extensive than on CT. Cerebral abnormalities were best shown with the T2-weighted spin-echo sequence (TE/TR = 120/1000); brainstem lesions were best defined on the inversion-recovery sequence (TE/TI/TR =30/400/1250). Increasing TE to 120 msec and TR to 2000 msec heightened the contrast between normal and abnormal white matter. However, the signal intensity of cerebrospinal fluid with this pulse technique obscured some abnormalities. The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis continues to be a clinical challenge [1,2). The lack of an objective means of assessment further complicates the evaluation of treatment regimens. Evoked potentials, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis , and computed tomography (CT) are currently used for diagnosis, but all lack sensitivity and/or specificity. Furthermore, postmortem examinations demonstrate many more lesions than those suggested by clinical means [3).

  • Patients with Stroke Confined to Basal Ganglia Have Diminished Response to Rehabilitation Efforts
    Patients with stroke confined to basal ganglia have diminished response to rehabilitation efforts Ichiro Miyai, MD, PhD; Alan D. Blau, PhD; Michael J. Reding, MD; and Bruce T. Volpe, MD Article abstract-Prediction of the functional outcome for patients with stroke has depended on the severity of impair- ment, location of brain injury, age, and general medical condition. This study compared admission and discharge func- tional outcome (Functional Independence Measure, FIM) and deficit severity (Fugl-Meyer, F-M) scores in a retrospective study of patients with similar neurologic impairments: homonymous hemianopia, hemisensory loss, and hemiparesis. CT-verified stroke location was the independent variable: cortical (n = ll),basal ganglia and internal capsule (normal cortex and thalamus, n = 131, or combined (cortical, basal ganglia, and internal capsule, n = 22). By 3 months on average after stroke, all groups demonstrated significantly improved motor function as measured by F-M scores. Patients with cortical lesions had the least CT-imaged damage and the best outcome. Patients with combined lesions and more extensive brain injury had significantly higher FIM scores (p< 0.05) than patients with injury restricted to the basal ganglid internal capsule. Patients with basal ganglidinternal capsule injury were more likely to have hypotonia, flaccid paralysis, and persistently impaired balance and ambulation performance. While all patients had a comparable rehabilitation experience, these results suggest that patients with stroke confined to the basal ganglia and internal capsule benefited less from therapy. Isolated basal ganglia stroke may cause persistent corticothalamic-basal ganglia interactions that are dysfunctional and impede recovery.

    JOURNAL OF ANATOMY A CONTRIBUTION TO THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE CORPUS STRIATUM BY RAYMOND A. DART, Demonstrator of Anatomy, University College, London INTRODUCTION Fou a recapitulation of the essential features in the divergent conclusions of investigators who have studied this problem, we are indebted to the recent paper by Elliot Smith ('20) in which he pointed out the nature of the corpus striatum in Sphenodon, and indicated the morphological relationships of its several parts. For some time past I have been studying a series of sections of the brain of the highly specialised Marsupial Mole, Notoryctes typhlops, which was very kindly placed at my disposal by Prof. Elliot Smith. As might be anticipated, in this creature devoid of any visual apparatus, the olfactory and closely associated striatal areas play a dominant role in its cerebral constitution-features already described by Elliot Smith in his communication to the Royal Society of South Australia ('95). In attempting to elucidate the significance of these structures I have investigated more primitive forms in the biological series; and I have to acknowledge the generosity of Professors A. Dendy of King's College and J. P. Hill of University College for the free access to their important collections, which has made possible an extensive comparative study. It is primarily for the purpose of abbreviating the account of the brain of Notoryctes that this preliminary note upon the striatal region is submitted; but the problem of the evolution of the corpus striatum is sufficiently important to call for this separate treatment. - If a transverse section of the brain of Notoryctes be studied in the region of the anterior commissure and foramen of Monro (e.g.

    Internal Capsule and Deep Gray Matter Medical Neuroscience | Tutorial Notes Internal Capsule and Deep Gray Matter 1 MAP TO NEUROSCIENCE CORE CONCEPTS NCC1. The brain is the body's most complex organ. NCC3. Genetically determined circuits are the foundation of the nervous system. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After study of the assigned learning materials, the student will: 1. Identify major white matter and gray matter structures that are apparent in sectional views of the forebrain, including the structures listed in the chart and figures in this tutorial. 2. Describe and sketch the relations of the deep gray matter structures to the internal capsule in coronal and axial sections of the forebrain. 3. Describe the distribution of the ventricular spaces in the forebrain and brainstem. NARRATIVE by Leonard E. WHITE and Nell B. CANT Duke Institute for Brain Sciences Department of Neurobiology Duke University School of Medicine Overview Now that you have acquired a framework for understanding the regional anatomy of the human brain, as viewed from the surface, and some understanding of the blood supply to both superficial and deep brain structures, you are ready to explore the internal organization of the brain. This tutorial will focus on the sectional anatomy of the forebrain (recall that the forebrain includes the derivatives of the embryonic prosencephalon). As you will discover, much of our framework for exploring the sectional anatomy of the forebrain is provided by the internal capsule and the deep gray matter, including the basal ganglia and the thalamus. But before beginning to study this internal anatomy, it will be helpful to familiarize yourself with some common conventions that are used to describe the deep structures of the central nervous system.
