Astrocytes Help Form the Blood Brain Barrier• Basal lamina of the astrocytes
+ the astrocytic endfeet produce help maintain the BBB.
• Notice how astrocytes send processes to the external surface of the CNS where the endfeet form the glia limitans externa, which separate the pia mater from the nervous tissue.
• Gap junctions and desmosomes join the endfeet to form a space between neurons and vascular endothelial cells (Fig. 2.2).

A. Spinal Cord
• Conduit for flow of information from PNS to CNS.
• Participates directly in body movement control.
• Processes sensory information from limbs, trunk, and internal organs.
• Has segmental organization (most like primitive or early developmental NS).
• Each segment has a pair of nerve roots.
![Page 19: Organization of the CNS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815d48550346895dcb5065/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

B. Brainstem and Cerebellum1. Brainstem = medulla + pons + midbrain.
a. ‘spinal cord’ for the head (sensory, motor control).-use of cranial nerves in place of spinal nerves.
b. Transmission of information between brain and SC.
c. Regulation of arousal (via reticular formation at the core of brainstem).
d. Regulation of important visceral functions (e.g., bp and respiration).

C. Diencelphalon
• Diencephalon – 2nd only to cerebrum as the most highly developed division.
1.Thalamus – key for transmitting information to cerebral hemispheres.
2.Hypothalamus – integrates functions of the ANS – controls endocrine hormone release from pit.
![Page 28: Organization of the CNS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815d48550346895dcb5065/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• Final relay point for ascending sensory information
• Coordinates the activities of the cerebral cortex and basal nuclei
The Thalamus
![Page 29: Organization of the CNS I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56815d48550346895dcb5065/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Thalamus• Part of diencephalon – relay nuclei through which sensory and motor information pass to and from the cortex.
• E.g., in the 2 1° systems we have discussed:
- from sc 1° sensory cortex- from 1° motor cortex sc.
• This is also the case for neural signals controlling other functions, such as learning and memory and emotions – and projecting to other parts of the cortex.
A. Relay Nuclei have distinct roles, transmitting info from particular subcortical inputs to a specific portion of the cerebral cortex.

Laminar Organization of the Cerebral Cortex• All cortical regions are organized in
layers.A.Most cortical regions in humans are
the most advanced form (neocortex, isocortex).
B.Allocortex – phylogeneticaly older, has fewer layers: 2 types:i. Paleocortex – sense of smell, emotions (olf bulb).ii. Archicortex – memories (hipp, 3 layers)

Laminar Organization of the Cerebral Cortex
C. Brodmann’s Areas – Thickness of each of the 6 layers varies between these areas, which are also distinct functionally.
Areas that subserve sensation have a thick layer IV (thalamic n. project here)
1° motor areas have a thick layer V.

general interpretive and speech centers and is responsible for language based skills
• Right hemisphere is typically responsible for spatial relationships and analyses
