Download or read book The Development of the Oculomotor Nerve the Ciliary Ganglion and the Abducent Nerve in the Chick Classic Reprint written by Frederick Walton Carpenter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the Oculomotor Nerve, the Ciliary Ganglion, and the Abducent Nerve in the Chick Schwalbe, in his extensive and much-quoted work on Das Ganglion oculomotorii, shows that the ciliary ganglion is represented in the lower vertebrates by groups of ganglion cells distributed along the course of the oculomotor nerve. Passing upward toward the higher forms, the cells become more closely associated into a compact body, this change being accompanied by a gradual withdrawal of the ganglion from the trunk of the oculomotor nerve through the formation of a radix bre vis. However, not all the higher vertebrates possess short roots, since in many mammals (sheep, calf, dog, rabbit) none exists, the ganglion being placed directly on the trunk of the oculomotor. Schwalbe denies the existence of a connection between the ciliary ganglion and the tri geminal nerve in several species, and believes the sympathetic root to be confined to mammals. He, therefore, asserts that the ciliary ganglion belongs primarily to the oculomotor, which he considers entitled to the rank of an independent segmental nerve.

Book Observations on the Development of the Trigeminal Nerve in the Chick  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Observations on the Development of the Trigeminal Nerve in the Chick Classic Reprint written by Roscoe Conkling Main and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Development of the Trigeminal Nerve in the Chick The development of the trigeminal nerve has never been thor oughly studied and described. Though one of the most constant, this is also one of the most complicated nerves of the heai. Professor Minot, in his book on human embryology, says, No satis factory observations on the growth of the branches are known to me. The subgect would well repay a careful investigation, and Dr. J. B. Johnston, in his recent work on the nervous system.of vertebrates, says that, with the exception of the ciliary ganglion, the development of the sympathetic ganglia connected with the tri geminus, has not been directly followed. The materials used in this study were chick embryos obtained from.the incubation of eggs selected without regard to breed, and the heads of adult fowls procured at the poultry house. Examina tion of transverse and sagittal series proved that the latter were, at all stages of development, the better for show1ng the trigemina us. An attempt was made to select such stages for the drawings and description as would show the consecutive changes that take place and give a connected history of the whole. The stains used were haematoxylin and eos1n for larger structures, and, for the finer ones, either iron haematoxylin or vom.rath's fluid.

Book Development of the Oculomotor Nerve

Download or read book Development of the Oculomotor Nerve written by Brielle Bjorke and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to visually locate and follow objects of interest relies on ocular motor systems that control eye movements. The ocular motor system includes motor neurons located in the CNS that innervate the extraocular muscles surrounding the eye. These systems must perform both slow and fast eye muscle movements to accommodate head and body motion, smooth pursuit, vergence and saccadic functions, as well as respond to balance signals from the vestibular-ocular system. Nerves controlling the extraocular muscles (EOM) must function with a high degree of accuracy, thus placing a demand on proper motor neuron development and innervation. Three cranial nerves innervate the EOMs: cranial nerves III, IV and VI. Errors in the development of these nerves can lead to congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders, resulting in eye alignment errors termed strabismus. Among them, Duane syndrome is directly related to errors in the development of the oculomotor nerve, cranial nerve III (nIII). Unfortunately, the fundamental cause of these disorders remains unknown. One way of addressing these problems is to understand development of the oculomotor system at the cellular and molecular level. Although numerous studies have described cellular and molecular events in the development of the hindbrain and spinal motor systems, less attention has been placed on the midbrain. However, the midbrain houses somatic motor neurons that innervate four of the six extraocular muscles, as well as the visceral neurons that innervate the ciliary ganglion to control eye movement and pupil dilation. These populations reside together in the ventral midbrain and are collectively termed neurons of the oculomotor complex (OMC). To begin to understand disorders influencing the function of the oculomotor system I have reviewed known factors influencing the development of the OMC--from initial OMC differentiation to EOM innervation, as well as probed the function of the guidance cue Slit in these processes. This dissertation is divided into four chapters aimed at reviewing events and factors working in OM development (Chapters 1,3) and basic experiments to determine the role that Slit plays in OMC development (Chapters 2,4). In Chapter 1, I review both old and new studies on the development of the midbrain and OMC neurons. Although the development of the OMC has received more recent attention, a complete review is lacking. I begin by describing the components of the vertebrate OMC and the proposed birth date of its somatic and visceral components. I then describe events and factors that regulate OMC development and later cell death. In Chapter 2, I describe the migration of a subset of OMC neurons, the dorsal rectus motor neurons, across the ventral midbrain. To examine factors that may influence this migration, I focused on the expression of classic guidance cues. I further genetically manipulated the expression of these cues to find that the Slit family of midline repellents act to inhibit premature migration. In Chapter 3, I review prior studies of guidance cues and mechanism that guide the outgrowth and navigation of the OMN toward the EOMs.In Chapter 4, I describe preliminary studies to determine the role Slit signals may have in OMN guidance and EOM innervation. The research findings outlined in chapters 2 and 4 add to understanding the cellular and molecular events that lead to proper development of the OMC and cranial nerve III.

Download or read book Pediatric Neuro Ophthalmology written by Michael C. Brodsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Neuroophthalmology details the diagnostic criteria, current concepts of pathogenesis, neuroradiological correlates, and clinical management of a large group of neuroophthalmic disorders that present in childhood. Surprisingly distinct from neuroophthalmic disorders afflicting adults, this set of diseases falls between the cracks of most ophthalmology training, and thus, warrants a practical, clinical guide for the practitioner in ophthalmology - the neuroophthalmologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, general ophthalmologist - as well as neurologists and for residents. The authors, leading pediatric ophthalmologists, have taken this difficult subject matter and developed an accessible, user-friendly manual with a detailed approach to the recognition, differential diagnosis, and management of pediatric neuroophthalmologic disorders.
