1 Brain Structure and its Origins Spring 2005 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Instructor: Professor Gerald Schneider A sketch of the central nervous system and its origins G. E. Schneider 2005 Part 5: Differentiation of the brain vesicles MIT 9.14 Class 10 Hindbrain specializations; midbrain and its specializations
2 Sensory specializations, 5 th cranial nerve and other hindbrain specializations Snake sensory pit (in pit vipers) for infrared radiation detection Rodent vibrissae, for sensing the space around the head: We will illustrate the brain representations. Recall other specializations of the hindbrain mentioned earlier: For taste functions in some fishes For electrosensory abilities in weakly electric fish Cerebellar expansions in large animals with highly developed manipulatory abilities
3 Rattlesnake trigeminal nerve: Innervation of a specialized distance sense Mandibular Branch Maxillary Branch Ophthalmic Branch Sensory (Infrared) pit Figure by MIT OCW. Question: What corresponding brain specializations can be found?
4 The evolution of changes in brain involve both size and architectural details Illustrated by the trigeminal system of moles and rodents Relative size of central maps and sensory acuity are correlated.* Organizational specializations: the barrel fields representing the vibrissae * Studies of visual acuity and the visual cortex representation have shown this very well.

12 The evolution of changes in brain: Many examples of size increases and changes in architectural details within hindbrain systems Cerebellum of electric fish Cerebellum of mammals Somatosensory system of rodents Specializations of taste reception (7 th, 9 th, 10 th n.) Ray-finned fishes: vagal lobes and facial lobes of hindbrain, with specialized receptors for bottom feeding Lateral line receptor systems: Electroreception Mechanoreception Large variations in size of specific brain parts are examples of mosaic evolution (Striedter, 2005, ch 5)
13 The changes cause "distortions" in the basic organization of the hindbrain Variations in relative size of parts Huge vagal lobe of the fresh-water buffalofish [Review] Vagal and facial lobes of the catfish [Review] Electric fish have an enormous and specialized cerebellum. [Review] The cerebellum is very large in mammals, especially in humans. Cell migrations from the alar plate: Cerebellum Pre-cerebellar cell groups especially the cells of the pons

22 Above the hindbrain We can get ideas about evolution of the midbrain and forebrain from the primitive chordates, especially Amphioxus We get additional ideas from primitive vertebrates
23 Recent clues to chordate origins: Studies of Amphioxux Evidence that this creature has more than a spinal cord, despite superficial appearances Quantitatively the CNS is largely hindbrain and cord, but more rostral parts of the neural tube are present. Structural studies show specific components of a primitive midbrain and forebrain
24 Amphioxus above the hindbrain Gene expression studies give evidence for a midbrain, tweenbrain and endbrain. Morphological studies show two inputs above the midbrain: optic and a more rostral nerve that could correspond to the olfactory or to the terminal nerve. (The terminal nerve innervates the nasal septum.) Evidence of an infundibulum (but functions not clear)
25 Why a midbrain, and a forebrain rostral to it? The midbrain, together with primitive components of the forebrain, was a kind of rostral extension of the hindbrain that enabled visual and olfactory control over FAPs (like locomotion, orienting, emotional expression), and that added more control by motivational states. The midbrain received visual and other inputs from tweenbrain and endbrain, as well as sensory and cerebellar inputs from more caudal structures. What were the roles of tweenbrain and endbrain in primitive chordates?
26 Primitive vision Early role of optic input to the tweenbrain: Control of daily cycles of activity, with entrainment of the endogenous clock by the day-night cycle Pineal eye Retinal input to hypothalamus (The retina develops as an evagination of the neural tube in the hypothalamic region.) Diencephalic controls of sleep and waking physiology and behavior: epithalamus and anterior hypothalamus Various cyclic motivational states/behaviors are influenced by the biological clock and regulated by tweenbrain: foraging and feeding, drinking, nesting, etc.
27 Primitive olfaction Olfaction was and is an important controller of behavioral state Detecting sexual and individual identity: Influenced evolution of amygdala Detecting good place, bad place : Led to evolution of medial pallium (hippocampus area) Discriminating good to consume, bad to consume : in conjunction with taste inputs to forebrain Note the importance of learning These functions required links from endbrain and tweenbrain to more caudal structures. The main links were in the midbrain. Locomotion via the midbrain locomotor area (MLA) Escape from predator threat via the midbrain tectum Orienting towards food or mild novelty via the midbrain tectum
28 The priority of escape behavior for survival led to a major structural consequence (review of hypothesis previously introduced) Optic inputs were very useful for triggering rapid escape from predators or potential predators, especially when they could give info about location. Escape mechanisms had already evolved in the somatosensory system, and were present in hindbrain. The most rapid route from the visual world to the mechanisms for turning away required a crossed projection to the midbrain. This was in order to engage a descending uncrossed pathway for escape. Later, with improved topographic organization, the orienting mechanisms of the tectum evolved. These required a recrossing of the midline, hence there are crossed tectofugal pathways for orienting towards objects. The evolution of crossed visual representation in the midbrain led to the crossed representation of the outer world in the endbrain, not only for visual, but for somatosensory and auditory inputs as well.
29 Midbrain
30 The midbrain (mesencephalon) Why a midbrain? The "correlation centers" Motor outputs Species comparisons Connections with forebrain Long axon tracts passing through
31 The midbrain "correlation centers (see the pictures on brain evolution) Midbrain locomotor area: for approach & avoidance Central gray area and ventral tegmental area: visceral sensory, pain and pleasure, emotional expression (with non-visceral inputs as well) Superior colliculus (SC) or optic tectum with deeper multimodal layers: for escape and for orienting behavior Lateral lemniscus nuclei and the inferior colliculus: auditory relays to tectum and to forebrain Red nucleus: limb control
32 Outputs of midbrain for motor control Origins of the Locomotor commands from the MLA Tectospinal tract, from deep tectal layers Rubrospinal tract, from red nucleus By these means, the midbrain controls body movements critical for survival: 1) Locomotion: Approach & avoidance; Exploring/ foraging/ seeking behavior 2) Orienting 3) Limb movements for exploring, reaching and grasping.
33 Midbrain neurons projecting to spinal cord And hindbrain for motor control Fibers from retina to superior colliculus Oculomotor nucleus Red nucleus (n. ruber) Tectospinal tract Rubrospinal tract Auditory fibers, passing from inferior colliculus to medial geniculate body of thalamus Spinothalamic tract (some fibers terminate in SC) Medial lemniscus Cerebral peduncle: contains corticospinal + corticopontine fibers, + cortex to hindbrain Remember Shmoo 1: the midbrain was the link between forebrain and the motor system
34 The midbrain locomotor area Defined by electrophysiological studies; found in the caudal midbrain tegmentum Ancient origins, crucial for approach and avoidance Inputs from the primitive corpus striatum: Olfactory control of locomotor functions
35 The other basic types of movement crucial for survival Orienting towards/ away via midbrain tectum Reaching, grasping via red nucleus
36 The midbrain "correlation centers (for your reference: a few details) Superior colliculus (SC): optic tectum Inferior colliculus: Auditory inputs, Visual inputs to surface layers Relay to thalamus Aud., SS inputs to deeper Multimodal regions: layers Deeper layers of the SC Functions: Reticular formation Novelty detection Central gray area Head & eye orientation Anti-predator responses Red nucleus: Modulators: corpus striatum, Sensorimotor control of diffuse projection systems limbs
37 The midbrain (mesencephalon) Why a midbrain? The "correlation centers" Motor outputs Species comparisons Connections with forebrain Long axon tracts passing through
38 Midbrain: Species comparisons An exercise in topology: size distortions (another example of mosaic evolution, as opposed to concerted evolution ) Huge optic tectum in tree shrews and squirrels cf. birds optic lobes Smaller optic tectum in rats and humans
39 Human midbrain, myelin stained section Figure removed due to copyright reasons.
40 (Sections are not drawn to the same scale) Rodent Human Tree Shrew (Squirrel is similar)
41 Long axons passing through the midbrain Ascending visceral sensory: Dorsal longitudinal fasciculus Ascending Somatosensory Spinothalamic tract and trigeminal lemniscus Medial lemniscus Ascending cerebellar output to forebrain Corticopontine and corticospinal axons of the cerebral peduncle
42 Long axons passing through midbrain: Fibers from retina to superior colliculus Oculomotor nucleus Red nucleus (n. ruber) Tectospinal tract Rubrospinal tract Auditory fibers, passing from inferior colliculus to medial geniculate body of thalamus Spinothalamic tract (some fibers terminate in SC) Medial lemniscus* Cerebral peduncle: contains corticospinal + corticopontine fibers, + cortex to hindbrain * The trigeminal lemniscus joins the medial lemniscus, forming the medial-most axons of this collection of fibers traversing the midbrain and terminating in the posterior part of the ventral nucleus of the thalamus.
43 Division of the midbrain into two functionally distinct regions, limbic and somatic 1. Somatic: Connected to the somatic sensory and motor systems 2. Limbic: Connected to the autonomic nervous system and the closely associated limbic forebrain system
44 Somatic regions Limbic regions These functionally distinct regions continue rostrally into the tweenbrain.
