How Is the Mammalian Nervous System Organized?
Vertebrate nervous systems consist of a brain, a spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that extend throughout the body.
The central nervous system or CNS contains the brain and spinal cord.
The peripheral nervous system or PNS consists of the cranial and spinal nerves that connect the CNS to all tissues.

The three parts of the embryonic brain develop into structures in the adult brain.
The hindbrain becomes the medulla, the pons, and the cerebellum.Physiological functions, such as breathing and swallowing are
controlled by the medulla and pons.Muscle control is coordinated in the cerebellum.
![Page 8: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The embryonic midbrain becomes structures that process visual and auditory information.
Together the hindbrain and midbrain are known as the brain stem.
![Page 9: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The embryonic forebrain develops the central diencephalon and the surrounding telencephalon.
The diencephalon consists of the: Thalamus, which is the final relay station for sensory information Hypothalamus, which regulates physiological functions such as
hunger and thirst
![Page 10: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The telencephalon consists of two cerebral hemispheres and is also called the cerebrum.
An evolutionary trend in which the telencephalon increases in size and complexity in vertebrates is telencephalization.
In humans, the telencephalon is the largest brain region and is involved in sensory perception, learning, memory, and behavior.
![Page 11: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The spinal cord: Conducts information between brain and organs. Integrates information coming from PNS. Responds by issuing motor commands.
![Page 12: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Anatomy of the spinal cord: Gray matter is in the center, and contains cell bodies of
spinal neurons. White matter surrounds gray matter and contains axons
that conduct information up and down the spinal cord. Spinal nerves extend from the spinal cord.
![Page 13: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Spinal reflex: afferent information converts to efferent activity without the brain.
The knee-jerk reflex is monosynaptic: Stretch receptors send axon potentials through dorsal horn to
ventral horn, via sensory axons. At synapses with motor neurons in the ventral horn, action
potentials are sent to leg muscles, causing contraction.

Structures in primitive regions of the telencephalon form the limbic system.
Amygdala: involved in fear and fear memory Hippocampus: transfers short-term memory to
long-term memory

Cerebral hemispheres are dominant in mammals.Cerebral cortex – a sheet of gray matter covering each
hemisphere that is convoluted to fit into the skull Gyri: (sing. gyrus) ridges of the cortex Sulci: (sing. sulcus) valleys of the cortex
![Page 18: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Regions of the cerebral cortex have specific functions.Association cortex is made up of areas that integrate
or associate sensory information or memories.Four cortical lobes: Temporal Frontal Parietal Occipital
![Page 21: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Temporal lobe: Receives and processes auditory information Association areas of the temporal lobe involve:
• Identification• Object naming • Recognition
Agnosia: a disorder of the temporal lobe
![Page 22: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Frontal Lobe: Central sulcus: divides the frontal and parietal lobes Primary motor cortex is located in front of the central
sulcus and controls muscles in specific body areas. Association areas involve:
• Planning• Personality
![Page 23: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Parietal Lobe: Primary somatosensory motor cortex is located behind
the central sulcus; it receives touch and pressure information.
Association areas involve attending to complex stimuli.Contralateral neglect syndrome: an inability to recognize
stimuli on one side of the body when the opposite parietal lobe is damaged
![Page 24: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Occipital Lobe: Receives and processes visual information Association areas involve:
• Making sense of the visual world• Translating visual experience into language
![Page 25: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS): the output of the CNS that controls involuntary functions
ANS has two divisions that work in opposition: one will increase a function and the other will decrease it.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are distinguished by anatomy, neurotransmitters, and their actions.
![Page 26: Mammalian Nervous System Chapter 46](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816515550346895dd79516/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions have different anatomy.
The sacral region contains preganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic region.
The thoracic and lumbar regions contain sympathetic preganglionic neurons.

Electroencephalogram (EEG): Measures activity of groups of neurons Records changes in electrical potential between
electrodes, over timeElectromyogram (EMG) records skeletal muscle
activity.Electrooculogram (EOG) measures eye movement.

Language areas: Broca’s area located in the frontal lobe: damage
results in slow or lost speech but a person can read and understand language.
Wernicke’s area is in the temporal lobe: damage results in an inability to speak sensibly, as written or spoken language is not understood. A person may still be able to produce speech.
Angular gyrus: adjacent area essential for integrating spoken and written language
