Cerebrum: Anatomical Overview II01:11

Cerebrum: Anatomical Overview II

1.5K
Each cerebral hemisphere can be divided into three main regions. The outermost region, the cerebral cortex, is a thin layer (2 to 4 millimeters thick) made up of gray matter, consisting of neuron cell bodies, dendrites, glial cells, and blood vessels. The middle region, or white matter, is primarily composed of myelinated nerve fibers organized into three types of large tracts: association fibers, commissures, and projection fibers. Association fibers connect different areas within the same...

Cerebellum: Anatomical Regions

1.4K
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 Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

1.7K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

1.7K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

377
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Cranial Nerves: Types Part II01:22

Cranial Nerves: Types Part II

1.3K
Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. While the first six innervate the head and neck, the latter six nerves innervate the head and neck, as well as organs and tissues in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. They facilitate communication, expression, and autonomic control within the human body.
Facial Nerve (Cranial Nerve VII)
Cranial nerve VII, or the facial nerve,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • The cingulum's extensive functions and involvement in neurological/psychiatric diseases have long been studied.
  • Neurosurgical interventions targeting the cingulum, such as deep brain stimulation and cingulotomy, are increasingly explored for chronic intractable pain.
  • Accurate targeting within the cingulum is vital for successful pain relief, yet its organization remains debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review anatomical and connectivity data of the cingulum from a clinical perspective.
  • To enhance the understanding of the cingulum's role in pain processing.
  • To address challenges in neurosurgical targeting of the cingulum for chronic pain.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of PubMed and manual reference checks.
  • Analysis focused on anatomical and functional/structural connectivity data, including MRI and PET studies.
  • Inclusion of 70 articles covering human, monkey, and rat subjects.

Main Results:

  • Multiple anatomical models of the cingulum exist, with varying subdivisions.
  • Connectivity data indicate three distinct fibre projections within the cingulate bundle.
  • The cingulum integrates sensory, memory, cognitive, emotional, and visceromotor functions relevant to pain.

Conclusions:

  • The cingulum acts as a central hub for pain processing, integrating diverse functions.
  • Variability in anatomical and connectivity models complicates standardized neurosurgical targeting.
  • Future research should focus on standardizing these models for optimal patient management in chronic pain.
