Scene 4

Olfactory and Optic nerves  enter brain  directly Cranial nerves  III-XII  enter/exit from  ventral  aspect of brain stem   EXCEPT  IV –Trochlear nerve ( dorsal aspect)

Scene 5

General principles All  sensory  cranial nerves and  sensory roots of  mixed   nerves have a  sensory ganglion  along their course: similar to DRG of spinal nerves—( pseudounipolar  neurons) Sensory nuclei of cranial nerves in brain stem are  second order  neurons Where are the first order neurons? All sensations are carried from nuclei to  thalamus  by  “lemnisci”  / bundles of various names All  motor  nuclei of cranial nerves receive bilateral  corticonuclear   fibres  from cortex :central control (exceptions: part of facial and hypoglossal nuclei)

Scene 6

Sensory Nuclei: General sensations :  trigeminal sensory nucleus Special sensations : Balance, Hearing, :  vestibular, cochlear   resply .   Vision: separate pathway(not in BS) Olfaction: separate pathway(not in BS) Special visceral afferent:  taste :  nucleus of  tractus    solitarius

Motor Nuclei :   Somatic  efferent:  Somatic striated muscle:  III,IV,VI,XII  ( yellow) Parasympathetic  General visceral efferent: Glands and smooth muscle:    Edinger   Westphal  ( pupillary reflexes), superior & inferior  salivatory  nuclei, dorsal  nucleus of  vagus Branchiomotor  nuclei  :Striated muscles of  Pharyngeal arches :  motor nuclei of V, VII, nucleus  ambiguus  (IX,X,XI)

Scene 9

Origin: Olfactory receptors  : type of neurons?  Bipolar Central processes form olfactory  nerve  fibres bundles of these pass through cribriform plate of  ethmoid enter  olfactory bulb   synapse with cells of olfactory bulb-mitral cells-  olfactory tract

Scene 10

Olfactory tract   narrow band of nerve cell processes or white matter Runs on inferior surface of frontal lobe divides into 2 into  Lateral & Medial Olfactory  striae Lateral olfactory stria  -axons  enter  olfactory area of  cerebral cortex : temporal  &  frontal lobe  cortex-same side Medial olfactory  stria   -sends axons to  opposite  olfactory bulb through  anterior commissure

Scene 11

Unique feature of Olfactory pathway  only 2 neuronal sensory pathway Bypass thalamus

Identify Olfactory bulb, Tract and  Stria  in the figure

Scene 12

Olfactory pathway: termination: Olfactory Cortex: temporal and frontal Lobes

Primary olfactory area:  Pyriform  cortex  in  uncus  ( temporal lobe) Secondary olfactory area ( 28)- entorrhinal  cortex These areas are connected to other cortical areas e.g.  frontal lobe for emotional and autonomic responses to olfactory sensations

Scene 13

Testing - 1)Determine nasal passages are clear 2) Apply  recognisable  aromatic substances like oil of cloves, oil of peppermint, camphor, tobacco etc.  to each nostril Ask the patient the perception of smell & to identify the smell ( close each nostril while other is being tested) Note : Food flavors depend on sense of smell & not on taste!

Scene 14

Bilateral anosmia   -loss of sense of smell-can be caused by disease of olfactory mucus membrane-e.g. common cold, allergic rhinitis Unilateral anosmia   -disease affecting olfactory nerves, bulb, or tract. Lesion of  one   olfactory cortex  will  not   cause complete anosmia as  fibres  from each olfactory tract travel to both cerebral hemispheres  throughmedial  olfactory striae Injury to olfactory nerves  -Fractures of cribriform plate of  ethmoid Pressure on olfactory bulbs or tracts   -frontal lobe  tumours ,  meningiomas  of anterior cranial  fosa - anosmia Congenital anosmia
