Vascular System

1
Vascular System

• Reminder All brain function is dependent on
  oxygen.
• There are two main arterial supplies to the
  brain
• Carotid Arteries
• Basilar Artery (comes off of vertebral arteries)

Vertebal Arteries/Basilar Artery
Identify the following arteries in the cerebral
angiogram in the image above Vertebral Artery -
Basilar Artery

Patients with Brain Damage

• The lesion approach
• Examples 1. HM
• remember him???
• 2. Blindsight
• huh?
• Any problems with this approach???????

WHAT'S NEW WITH THE AMNESIC PATIENT H.M.?
Suzanne Corkin     H.M. became amnesic in 1953.
Since that time, nearly 100 investigators, first
at the Montreal Neurological Institute and since
1966 at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, have participated in studying him. We
all understand the rare opportunity we have had
to work with him, and we are grateful for his
dedication to research. He has taught us a great
deal about the cognitive and neural organization
of memory. We are in his debt.

Problems with the Lesion Approach

• Variability in regions of damage
• Example language mapping

19
BTW DISCLAIMER

• The broken brain may not process information in
  the same way as the intact brain..
• EG Stiles developmental studies of spatial
  processing

20
Behavioral Methods

• Clinical Interviews
• Information from caretakers
• Neuropsychological Testing
• Battery Approach
• Decision Tree Approach
• Experimental Testing
