Functions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Pons and medulla | waking, sleeping, and locomotion |
Cerebellum | learned skilled movements (think throwing a dart) |
reticular formation | maintaining general arousal |
tectum | superior colluculi: receives sensory input from eye inferior colliculi: receives sensory input from ear |
red nucleus | limb movement |
periacquecutal gray | species-typical behavior |
substantia nigra | produces dopamin -- reward-bahaviour and movement initiation |
hypothalamus | interacts with pituitary gland involved in motivated behaviour |
What two parts make up the epithalamus? | Pineal Gland and the Habenula |
thalamus | relay station -collection of nuclei which receive sensory motor inputs -functions to integrate different inputs and project them to various cortical areas |
lateral geniculate body | receives visual input and routes it to occipital cortex |
medial geniculate body | receives auditory input and routes it to temporal lobe |
ventrolateral posterior nucleus | receives somatosensory input and routes it to parietal cortex |
ventral anterior nucleus | receives motor input from basal ganglia and routes it to frontal (motor) cortex |
Basal Ganglia | functions controlling and coordinating movement patterns |
What makes up the limbic system. | hippocampus, amygdala, septum, cingulate gyrus |
hippocampus | functions in learning and memory |
amygdala | functions in emotion and behaviour |
septum | functions in emotional behaviour |
Primary areas | project to spinal motor systems or receive sensory input (via thalamus) |
secondary areas | adjacent to primary areas Sensory: primary - secondary Motor: secondary - primary |
tertiary areas | associated with cortex, located between secondary areas, not specific to sensory to motor information, perform complex functions |
fasciculi | long tracts that connect one lobe to another |
what fascicles connects Brocca's area to Wernicke's area? | Arcuate Fisciculus |
arcuate fibers | short connections between adjacent gyri |
mamililiary bodies | recollective behaviour (sometimes called part of the thalamus) |
Pineal Gland | Circadian Rhythm |
Habenula | hunger and thirst |
