Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Neurodevelopment Neural development is an ongoing process; the nervous system is plastic. A Complex Process Experience plays a key role. There are dire consequences when something goes wrong. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. The Case of Genie At age 13, Genie weighed 62 pounds and could not chew solid food. She had been beaten, starved, restrained, kept in a dark room, and denied normal human interactions. Even with special care and training after rescue, her behavior never became normal. The case of Genie illustrates the impact of severe deprivation on development. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Phases of Development Ovum + Sperm = Zygote Developing neurons accomplish these things in five phases. Induction of the neural plate Neural proliferation Migration and aggregation Axon growth and synapse formation Neuron death and synapse rearrangement Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Induction of the Neural Plate A patch of tissue on the dorsal surface of the embryo becomes the neural plate. Development is induced by chemical signals from the mesoderm (the “organizer”). Visible Three Weeks after Conception Three Layers of Embryonic Cells Ectoderm (outermost) Mesoderm (middle) Endoderm (innermost) Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Induction of the Neural Plate (Con’t) Neural plate cells are often referred to as embryonic stem cells. Have Unlimited Capacity for Self-Renewal Can Become Any Kind of Mature Cell Totipotent: the earliest cells have the ability to become any type of body cell. Multipotent: with development, neural plate cells are limited to becoming one of the range of mature nervous system cells. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Neural Proliferation The neural plate folds to form the neural groove, which then fuses to form the neural tube. Inside will be the cerebral ventricles and neural tube. Neural tube cells proliferate in species-specific ways: three swellings at the anterior end in humans will become the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Proliferation is chemically guided by the organizer areas—the roof plate and the floor plate. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Migration Once cells have been created through cell division in the ventricular zone of the neural tube, they migrate. Migrating cells are immature, lacking axons and dendrites. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Migration (Con’t) Two Types of Neural Tube Migration Radial migration (moving out): usually by moving along radial glial cells Tangential migration (moving up) Two Methods of Migration Somal: an extension develops that leads migration; the cell body follows. Glial-mediated migration: the cell moves along a radial glial network. Most cells engage in both types of migration. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Aggregation After migration, cells align themselves with others cells and form structures. Cell-Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) Aid both migration and aggregation CAMs recognize and adhere to molecules. Gap junctions pass cytoplasm between cells. Prevalent in brain development May play a role in aggregation and other processes Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Axon Growth and Synapse Formation Once migration is complete and structures have formed (aggregation), axons and dendrites begin to grow. Growth cone: at the growing tip of each extension; extends and retracts filopodia as if finding its way Chemoaffinity hypothesis: postsynaptic targets release a chemical that guides axonal growth, but this does not explain the often circuitous routes often observed.

Axon Growth and Synapse Formation (Con’t) Mechanisms underlying axonal growth are the same across species. A series of chemical signals exist along the way, attracting and repelling. Such guidance molecules are often released by glia. Adjacent growing axons also provide signals. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Axon Growth and Synapse Formation (Con’t) Pioneer growth cones: the first to travel a route; interact with guidance molecules Fasciculation: the tendency of developing axons to grow along the paths established by preceding axons Topographic gradient hypothesis seeks to explain topographic maps.

These phenomena support the topographic gradient hypothesis. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Synapse Formation Formation of new synapses depends on the presence of glial cells—especially astrocytes. High levels of cholesterol are needed—and are supplied by astrocytes. Chemical signal exchange between pre- and postsynaptic neurons is needed. A variety of signals act on developing neurons. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Neuron Death and Synapse Rearrangement Approximately 50 percent more neurons than are needed are produced; death is normal. Neurons die due to failure to compete for chemicals provided by targets. The more targets, the fewer cell deaths Destroying some cells increases the survival rate of remaining cells. Increasing the number of innervating axons decreases the proportion that survive. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Life-Preserving Chemicals Neurotrophins promote growth and survival, guide axons, and stimulate synaptogenesis. Nerve growth factor (NGF) Both Passive Cell Death (Necrosis) and Active Cell Death (Apoptosis) Apoptosis is safer than necrosis because it does not promote inflammation. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Synapse Rearrangement Neurons that fail to establish correct connections are particularly likely to die. Space left after apoptosis is filled by sprouting axon terminals of surviving neurons. This ultimately leads to increased selectivity of transmission. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 9.7 The effect of neuron death and synapse rearrangement on the selectivity of synaptic transmission. The synaptic contacts of each axon become focused on a smaller number of cells. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Postnatal Cerebral Development in Human Infants Postnatal growth is a consequence of: Synaptogenesis Myelination of sensory areas and then motor areas: myelination of prefrontal cortex continues into adolescence. Increased dendritic branches Overproduction of synapses may underlie the greater plasticity of the young brain. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Development of the Prefrontal Cortex Believed to Underlie Age-Related Changes in Cognitive Function No single theory explains the function of this area. Prefrontal cortex plays a role in working memory, planning and carrying out sequences of actions, and inhibiting inappropriate responses. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Effects of Experience on the Early Development, Maintenance, and Reorganization of Neural Circuits Permissive experiences: those that are necessary for information in genetic programs to be manifested Instructive experiences: those that contribute to the direction of development Effects of experience on development are time-dependent. Critical period Sensitive period Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Early Studies of Experience and Neurodevelopment Early Visual Deprivation Fewer synapses and dendritic spines in primary visual cortex Deficits in depth and pattern vision Enriched Environment Thicker cortexes Greater dendritic development More synapses per neuron Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Competitive Nature of Experience and Neurodevelopment Ocular Dominance Columns Example: Monocular deprivation changes the pattern of synaptic input into layer IV of V1 (but not binocular deprivation). Altered exposure during a sensitive period leads to reorganization. Active motor neurons take precedence over inactive ones. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 9.9 The effect of a few days of early monocular deprivation on the structure of axons projecting from the lateral geniculate nucleus into layer IV of the primary visual cortex. Axons carrying information from the deprived eye displayed substantially less branching. (Based on Antonini & Stryker, 1993.) Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Effects of Experience on Topographic Sensory Cortex Maps Cross-modal rewiring experiments demonstrate the plasticity of sensory cortexes—with visual input, the auditory cortex can see. Change the input, and you change the cortical topography: e.g., shifted auditory map in prism-exposed owls. Early music training influences the organization of human auditory cortex: fMRI studies.

Experience Fine-Tunes Neurodevelopment Neural activity regulates the expression of genes that direct the synthesis of CAMs. Neural activity influences the release of neurotrophins. Some neural circuits are spontaneously active; this activity is needed for normal development. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Neuroplasticity in Adults The mature brain changes and adapts. Neurogenesis (growth of new neurons) is seen in the olfactory bulbs and hippocampuses of adult mammals: adult neural stem cells created in the ependymal layer lining in ventricles and adjacent tissues. Enriched environments and exercise can promote neurogenesis. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. FIGURE 9.10 Adult neurogenesis. The top panel shows new cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus—the cell bodies of neurons are stained blue, mature glial cells are stained green, and new cells are stained red. The bottom panel shows the new cells from the top panel under higher magnification, which makes it apparent that the new cells have taken up both blue and red stain and are thus new neurons.

Effects of Experience on the Reorganization of the Adult Cortex Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) produces major reorganization of the primary auditory cortex. Adult musicians who play instruments fingered by the left hand have an enlarged representation of that hand in the right somatosensory cortex. Skill training leads to reorganization of motor cortex.

Disorders of Neurodevelopment: Autism Three Core Symptoms Reduced ability to interpret emotions and intentions Reduced capacity for social interaction Preoccupation with a single subject or activity Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Disorders of Neurodevelopment: Autism (Con’t) Intensive behavioral therapy may improve function. Heterogenous: level of brain damage and dysfunction varies Often Considered a Spectrum Disorder Autism spectrum disorders Asperger’s syndrome Mild autism spectrum disorder in which cognitive and linguistic functions are well preserved Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Disorders of Neurodevelopment: Autism (Con’t) Incidence: 6.6 per 1,000 Births (or 1 in 166) 80 percent of those affected are males, 60 percent are mentally retarded, 35 percent are epileptic, and 25 percent have little or no language ability. Most have some abilities preserved: e.g., rote memory, jigsaw puzzles, musical ability, or artistic ability. Autistic savants: intellectually handicapped individuals who display specific cognitive or artistic abilities Approximately 1 in 10 autistic individuals display savant abilities. Perhaps a consequence of compensatory functional improvement in one area following damage to another Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Genetic Basis of Autism Siblings of the autistic have a 5 percent chance of being autistic There is a 60 percent concordance rate for monozygotic twins. Several Genes Interacting with the Environment Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Neural Mechanisms of Autism Understanding of brain structures involved in autism is still limited; so far, research has implicated: Cerebellum Amygdala Frontal cortex There are two lines of research on cortical involvement in autism. Abnormal response to faces in autistic patients Spend less time than non-autistic subjects looking at faces, especially eyes Low fMRI activity in fusiform face area Possibly deficient in mirror neuron function Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Disorders of Neurodevelopment: Williams Syndrome 1 in Every 7,500 Births Mental Retardation and an Uneven Pattern of Abilities and Disabilities People with Williams syndrome are sociable, empathetic, and talkative; they exhibit language skills, music skills, and an enhanced ability to recognize faces. Profound Impairments in Spatial Cognition Those with Williams syndrome usually have heart disorders associated with a mutation in a gene on chromosome 7; the gene (and others) is absent in 95 percent of those with Williams. Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Disorders of Neurodevelopment: Williams Syndrome (Con’t) There is evidence for a role of chromosome 7 (as in autism).
