-
Descending Corticospinal and Corticobulbar tracts- nerve fibres that deal with motor function
-
Dentate Nucleus- Links the cerebellum with the rest of the brain, and has a serrated, tooth-like edge
-
Caudate Nucleus- involved with motor processes, but also growing evidence for it being involved in sensory and cognitive processes- Middleton & Strick (2000)
-
Choroid Plexus- produces cerebrospinal fluid
-
Fornix- carries signals from the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies (that handle the limbic system)
-
Amygdala- handles memory, decision making, and emotional reactions
-
Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
-
Globus Pallidus- part of the extrapyramidal motor system, that causes involuntary movements
-
Putamen- part of the basal ganglia, regulates movement and influences reinforcement and implicit learning
-
Corona Radiata- white matter sheet that carries most of the info to and from the cerebral cortex
-
What is this?
Anterior Commisure- bundle of white matter nerve fibres that connect the two hemispheres of the temporal lobe
-
Hippocampus- limbic system, STM and navigation
-
Lateral Geniculate Nucleus- deals with vision, and is where the optic nerve (that becomes the optic tract) terminates
-
Choroid Plexus of the lateral ventricle (produces cerebrospinal fluid)
-
Pulvinar nuclei - important in speech, vision and motor production
