11 THE BRAIN ATLAS 3 rd ed, p. 6 Components " Gray Matter" Cortex, Nuclei or Ganglia (groups of nerve cell bodies and neuropil) generally of similar function Neuropil - neuronal processes, synapses and glia 11
12 Components White Matter" Bundles (groups of myelinated axons [see below] that course in the same direction) Tracts (also groups of axons (myelinated and un-myelinated but indicates origin, destination and therefore function) 12
13 Jellison et al (2004) Ludwig, E., & Klingler, J. (1956) Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) The brain and spinal cord are bathed in a colorless fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The fluid is made in chambers in the brain called ventricles (blue). It circulates between all the cells and their processes and in the space between a membrane on the brain surface (called the pia mater) and a membrane that is next to the skull or spine (arachnoid mater) called the subarachnoid space (gold). 13
14 Components Other" Blood Vessels (arteries, capillaries, veins and venous sinuses) Coverings - meninges (dura mater (tough mother), arachnoid (spider web like), pia (tender/affectionate)) Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF - ventricles, canals, intercellular space, subarachnoid space) Movie - vmjr-brain.mov 14
15 Cells of Nervous System Neurons, Contacts, Support Santiago Ramón y Cajal ( ) ca Cajal (say kaahaal) shared the 1906 Nobel Prize for discoveries indicating that the nervous system was made up of individual contiguous elements - the neurons. 15
16 Cells of Nervous System Neurons" " Parts: cell body (soma), dendrites (input processes), axon (output process) Types: local circuit (90%), projection (10%) Variations: stellate (star like); pyramidal (conical/ triangular); famous guys - Purkinje, Betz, Cajal, Retzius, Mauthner All variations are correlated to particular functions. Photograph of neurons stained by Golgi s method which fills processes of some cells with black precipitates of heavy metals and Nissl which stains all nuclei and neuronal cytoplasm blue. 16
17 Pyramidal neuron (conical cell body) stained by Golgi s method. There are multiple processes that resemble branches of trees (dendrites) and one that resembles a wire (axon; arrow). Inputs to the cell are mainly on dendrites and the cell body (soma) while outputs are mainly via the axon. This the principal long axon (output) cell in the cerebral cortex. Photograph of a Purkinje cell in the cerebellum stained by Golgi s method. The neuron has one complex dendrite that resembles a sea fan (arrow). Synapses on this cell type are estimated to be about 0.5 Million. 17
18 Cells of Nervous System Contacts (Synapses) Parts: bouton or ending (contains vesicles (transmitters, modulators) and mitochondia), presynaptic membrane (dense in electron microscope); synaptic cleft; postynaptic membrane (dense in electron microscope) Types: asymmetrical = Type I (postsynaptic membrane is thicker than presynaptic membrane; spherical clear vesicles) these are excitatory synapses - on; symmetrical = Type II (postsynaptic membrane same as presynaptic membrane; flattened clear vesicles) these are inhibitory synapses - off Variations: large like to muscle, chalice in brain stem, climbing in the cerebellum; intermediate; small; in passing or as a terminal. All variations relate to specific functions (like variations in hammers - sledge vs. jeweler s). Photograph of the giant neuron in the brainstem of the gold fish (Mauthner) stained by Bodian s method. Synapses on this cell type are particularly easy to see. Much work on this cell type contributed to understanding the structure of the synapse before the electron microscope was perfected. 18
19 Electron micrograph of a synapse in the brain stained with the heavy metal element osmium (Os) which is lipophylic (stains lipids/fats). This synapse is only about 2 micrometers across. The main components of a synapse: synaptic cleft (space between the terminal and target process), membrane thickenings on the terminal (pre) and process (post), mitochondria and synaptic vseicles (contain transmitter(s)). Most brain synapses (type I) have a wider cleft (space between the terminal and target process), thicker membrane densities on the terminal (pre) and process (post) and rounder vesicles. Such synapses are excitatory (on). About 10-20% brain synapses (type II) have a narrower cleft, thinner membrane densities on the terminal (pre) and process (post) and flat vesicles. Such synapses are inhibitory (off). 19
20 A neuron (red) grown in tissue-culture. Green shows proteins in processes from pre-synaptic neurons. The green/yellow dots on the red neuron indicate synapses. The inset shows a cartoon of blue synaptic terminals contacting a neuron. The picture gives a sense of the enormous numbers, distribution and density of synapses on a nerve cell. Neurons integrate information from thousands of synapses from many different sources. Cells of Nervous System Glia (glue) or Supporting Cells" " Parts: cell body (soma) and "short" processes Types: astrocytes (star like); oligodendorcytes (fewer (oligo) branches (dendrites); microglia (small ones) Variations: fleshy, fibrous (stringy), myelinating, non-myelinating All variations relate to specific functions. 20

22 THE BRAIN ATLAS 3 rd ed, pp. 5, 7 Importance Biology, Disease 22
23 Biology Understanding the brain is THE major question in biology and science. Is it possible for the brain to understand itself? The brain like any organ has functions: input, output, thought, communication. Brain Diseases" Interfere with brain functions as heart disease interferes with the circulation. Many diseases have a strong genetic component. Prevalence is high: 15-30% of the population. Cost is high: >> $2+ Trillion/year in care, lost income, social services, etc., in the US. Impact (personal, family, societal) is persistent, pervasive, enormous, incalculable. 23
