Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory01:14

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

610
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Brainstem01:19

Brainstem

3.2K
The brainstem, located inferior to the brain and superior to the spinal cord, serves as a bridge between the cerebrum and the spinal cord. It plays a vital role in relaying information and controlling critical life functions. It comprises three primary regions: the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
The Midbrain
The midbrain is located beneath the diencephalon and connects the cerebrum with the lower parts of the brain. The cerebral peduncles are prominent midbrain structures that house the...

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways01:28

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

1.3K
Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the...

Cerebellum: Anatomical Regions

The cerebellum, also known as the "little brain," is located in the posterior cranial fossa, inferior to the tentorium cerebelli and dorsal to the brainstem. It plays a significant role in motor control, coordination, and proprioception.
Cerebellar Structure
Externally, the cerebellum features a highly convoluted surface with numerous folia (narrow ridges) separated by shallow sulci (grooves). The cerebellum is divided into two hemispheres by a thin median structure known as the vermis. The...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview01:15

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

726
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Prosopagnosia01:24

Prosopagnosia

287
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Cerebral palsy (CP) is a prevalent neurological disorder with an estimated 0.2% prevalence in Japan.
  • Advances in perinatal medicine have shifted the primary causes of CP, with bilateral spastic CP due to periventricular leukomalacia becoming more common than dyskinetic CP from kernicterus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the changing landscape of brain lesions in cerebral palsy.
  • To emphasize the need for comprehensive treatment strategies that address diverse dysfunctions beyond motor impairments.
  • To consider the long-term health implications for individuals with CP.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current understanding of CP pathology and lesion types.
  • Analysis of the impact of perinatal medicine advancements on CP etiology.
  • Consideration of emerging lesion patterns in premature infants.

Main Results:

  • Bilateral spastic CP, linked to periventricular leukomalacia and visual-cognitive deficits, is increasingly prevalent.
  • Cerebellar injury is associated with cognitive and communication disturbances.
  • Bilirubin encephalopathy results in severe motor impairment and dystonia, requiring interventions like botulinum toxin and intrathecal baclofen.

Conclusions:

  • Future adult CP populations will likely exhibit new types of brain lesions, particularly from very premature infants.
  • Comprehensive CP management must address motor, cognitive, and communication deficits.
  • Individuals with CP face an elevated risk of lifestyle-related and psychological diseases, necessitating integrated care.
