• generate emotional responses such as fear, desire, etc.
• affects the way we relate to the world and others around us
• figure 11-17 p. 562

• memories are forged here
• turning experiences into neural pathways that are stored for future reference
• figure 11-17 p. 562

• projection fibers that run to and from the cortex to te brainstem and spinal cord
• figure 11-19 p. 565

projection fibers where the corona radiata converge into the anterior limb and posterior limb.

separates caudate nucleus and putamen serving frontal lobe

includes optic radiation which projects to calcarine sulcus for vision

junction between anterior and posterior limb

• cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
• provides a cushion for neural tissue and delivers nutrients and removes waste

• within ventricles (spaces) within the brain
• 4 ventricles

choroid plexus = aggregate of tissues which produces the CSF

• 1st ventricle
• paired
• largest of all ventricles
• produces the bulk of CSF
• extends into all brain lobes

• 2nd ventricle
• thin tissue that separates the lateral ventricles

lies between two sides of the thalamus

sits between the cerebellum and the pons
