Michael S. Beauchamp, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Houston, TX Motor Control: Lecture 1

Muscles, what are they good for?

Muscle model

Body as machine

Cognition Action ENVIRONMENT Senses MOTOR CONTROL

Necessary Components of Proper Motor Control Volition Coordination of signals to many muscle groups Proprioception Postural adjustments Sensory feedback Compensation for body and muscles Unconscious processing Adaptability

Motor control requires sensory input The case of Ian Waterman Lost all somatosensory and proprioceptive input Initially unable to make any coordinated movement After years of practice he trained himself to make movement under visual guidance Requires total concentration to move and even maintain posture Collapses to ground when lights unexpectedly go out Jonathan Cole, Pride and a Daily Marathon, MIT Press, 1995.

The Man Who Lost His Body 1998 BBC documentary Ian Waterman, age 19 Lost all somatosensory and proprioceptive input Initially unable to make any coordinated movement After years of practice he trained himself to make movement under visual guidance Requires total concentration to move and even maintain posture Collapses to ground when lights unexpectedly go out

Hierarchical Organization and Functional Segregation of Central Motor Structures Level 4: Association Cortex Level 2: Brain Stem (Red Nucleus, Reticular Formation, Vestibular Nuclei, Tectum, Pontine Nuclei, Inferior Olive) Level 1: Spinal Cord Level 3: Motor Cortex Side Loop 1: Basal Ganglia (Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, Globus Pallidus, Substantia Nigra, Subthalamic Nucleus) Thalamus (VA,VL,CM) Side Loop 2: Cerebellum

Alpha motor neuron

Alpha Motor Neurons Innervate skeletal muscle and cause muscle contractions Isometric contraction (equal size) Isotonic contraction (equal force) Release acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction

Motor Neuron Pool (Motor Nucleus) The group of motor neurons that innervate an individual muscle

From J. Nolte (2002) The Human Brain, 5 th Edition Motor Neuron Pool

Motor Neuron Pool (Motor Nucleus) The group of motor neurons that innervate an individual muscle Motor Unit An individual motor neuron and all the muscle fibers that it innervates

Motor Neuron Pool vs. Motor Unit

Motor Neuron Pool (Motor Nucleus) The group of motor neurons that innervate an individual muscle Motor Unit An individual motor neuron and all the muscle fibers that it innervates Innervation Ratio The number of muscle fibers innervated by a single motor neuron

Control of muscle force Rate Code: Increases in rate of action potentials of motor neuron cause increases in muscle force Size Principle: With increasing strength of input, motor neurons are recruited from smallest to largest

Rate Code tetanus

Control of muscle force Rate Code: Increases in rate of action potentials of motor neuron cause increases in muscle force Size Principle: With increasing strength of input, motor neurons are recruited from smallest to largest

Size Principle V = IR From G. E. Loeb & C. Ghez (2000), in Principles of Neural Science, 4 th Edition (Kandel, Schwartz, & Jessel, Eds.)

Size Principle Small motor neurons innervate slow- twitch muscle fibers Medium motor neurons innervate fast- twitch, fatigue-resistant muscle fibers Large motor neurons innervate fast- twitch, fatigable muscle fibers

Proprioception Specialized receptors provide information about muscle: length velocity (change in length) load (force)

Receptors Involved in Proprioception Muscle Spindles Golgi Tendon Organ

Muscle model

Intrafusal fibers Extrafusal fibers

Typical muscle spindle = 1 dynamic nuclear bag fiber 1 static nuclear bag fiber ~ 5 nuclear chain fibers Muscle Spindles are made of intrafusal muscle fibers

Sensory Fibers Involved in Proprioception Muscle Spindles Group Ia (primary): velocity and length Group II (secondary): length

Type Ia afferents signal velocity and length, Type II afferents signal length only

Gamma motor neurons maintain sensitivity of muscle spindle

Receptors Involved in Proprioception Muscle Spindles Golgi Tendon Organs

Golgi Tendon Organ

Sensory Fibers Involved in Proprioception Muscle Spindles Group Ia (primary): velocity and length Group II (secondary): length Golgi Tendon Organs Group Ib: Tension or force

Next Lecture: Spinal Reflexes Myotatic reflex Muscle spindles (Ia) + alpha motor neurons Autogenic inhibition Golgi tendon organs (Ib) - alpha motor neurons
