CEREBRAL MEDULLA & LATERAL VENTRICLE Dr. Ahmed Fathalla Ibrahim
TYPES OF FIBRES ASSOCIATION FIBRES: • They connect cortical areas lying within same cerebral hemisphere COMMISSURAL FIBRES: • They cross midline & connect cortical areas in one hemisphere to functionally related cortical areas in the other hemisphere PROJECTION FIBRES: • They connect cortical areas to areas outside cerebral hemispheres
ASSOCIATION FIBRES SHORT: • They connect adjacent gyri in same lobe LONG: • They travel through white matter & connect gyri of different lobes
LONG ASSOCIATION FIBRES • Superior longitudinal fasciculus: • Connects frontal and occipitallobes • A part connects frontal and temporal lobes in dominant hemisphere(arcuate fasciculus): links Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas (areas important for language function)
LONG ASSOCIATION FIBRES • Inferior Longitudinal fasciculus: • Runs from occipital to temporal poles • Connects primary visual & visual association areas • Contributes to function of visual recognition • Lesion:object agnosia (cannot recognize objects), prosopagnosia (cannot recognize faces)
LONG ASSOCIATION FIBRES • Uncinate fasciculus: • Connects frontal and temporal lobes • Connects parts involved in regulation of behavior • Cingulum: • Travels along frontal, parietal and temporal lobes • Connects parts of limbic lobe
COMMISSURAL FIBRES • Corpus callosum: • The largest of commissural fibres • Connects corresponding regions of frontal, parietal & occipital lobes in both hemispheres (but not temporal)
CORPUS CALLOSUM Body Splenium Genu Rostrum
COMMISSURAL FIBRES • Major parts of Corpus callosum: • Rostrum: connects the inferior surfaces of frontal lobes • Genu: fibres curve forwards to form anterior forceps (forceps minor) that connect frontal lobes • Body: most of fibres run transversally & connect parietal lobes • Splenium: fibres curve backwards to form posterior forceps (forceps major) that connect occipital lobes
COMMISSURAL FIBRES • Anterior commissure: • Formed of a small & a large bundle • The small bundle connects olfactory regions in temporal lobes • The large bundle connects the rest of temporal lobes • Hippocampal commissure: • They connect the fornix on each side
PROJECTION FIBRES • They are ascending & descending fibers • Fibres projecting to & from cerebral cortex are distributed radially as corona radiata • Fibres become concentrated to form the internal capsule
INTERNAL CAPSULE • It is a V-shaped band of projection fibres • It is divided into: • Anterior limb • Genu • Posterior limb • Retrolenticular part
INTERNAL CAPSULE Anterior limb: • Site: between head of caudate nucleus & lentiform nucleus • Contents: • Fibres from anterior nuclear group of thalamus to cingulate gyrus • Fibres from medial nuclear group of thalamus to prefrontal cortex • Frontopontine fibres
INTERNAL CAPSULE Genu: • Site: between head of caudate nucleus & thalamus • Contents: • Corticobulbar fibres
INTERNAL CAPSULE Posterior limb: • Site: between thalamus & lentiform nucleus • Contents: • Corticospinal fibres • Fibres from ventral posterior nucleus of thalamus to postcentral gyrus • Fibres from ventral anterior & ventral lateral nuclei of thalamus to motor regions of frontal lobes
INTERNAL CAPSULE Retrolenticular part: • Site: behind lentiform nucleus • Contents: • Fibers from medial geniculate body of thalamus to auditory cortex • Fibers from lateral geniculate body of thalamus to visual cortex • Parieto- temporo- & occipitopontine fibres
LATERAL VENTRICLE • Anterior horn of LV • Body of LV • Posterior horn of LV • Inferior horn of LV • Interventricular foramen • Third Ventricle • Supraoptic recess of TV • Infundibular recess of TV • Suprapineal recess of TV • Cerebral acqueduct • Fourth Ventricle • Lateral recess of FV
LATERAL VENTRICLE • CAVITY: of telencephalon • SITE: within cerebral hemisphere • SHAPE: C-shaped • COMMUNICATION: with 3rd ventricle through the interventricular foramen of Monro
