Question
Answer
The limbic system includes   areas that are important for emotional response, olfaction, learning and memory. Functionally, they regulate all visceral, endocrine and sensorimotor functions.  
🗑
the function of the CINGULATED GYRUS   emotional, somatic and autonomic functions  
🗑
the function of the HIPPOCAMPUS   storing and retrieving memories; learning  
🗑
the function of the BASAL NUCLEI   don’t initiate motor activity, but regulate cortically initiated motor activity, incl speech by suppressing competing movements for precise and target motor activity  
🗑
the function of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS   involved with motor function  
🗑
the function of the AMYGDALA   generally responsible for activating emotional behavior, related to limbic sys; aggression, mating, stress-mediated responses, memory, feeding and drinking  
🗑
the function of the SUBSTANTIA NIGRA   contains a group of nuclei that produce dopamine, inhibitory to caudate and putamen  
🗑
Parkinson’s disease   a degenerative lesion involving substantia nigra  
🗑
the primary function of the THALAMUS   integrates and relays all sensorimotor information to cerebral cortex, except olfaction  
🗑
Thalamic Syndrome   increased or decreased thresholds for the sensations of touch, pain and temperature on the contralateral side of the body  
🗑
the primary functions of the HYPOTHALAMUS   as the central regulator of the autonomic and endocrine functions, it controls visceral functions including: body temperature regulation, eating and drinking, etc  
🗑
clinical symptoms that commonly result from hypothalamic dysfunction   disturbances of food intake, water balance, libido (hubba hubba), menstruation, and temperature control  
🗑
the 3 primary divisions of the BRAINSTEM (mesencephalon)   midbrain, pons, medulla  
🗑
the function of the CEREBELLUM   important for equilibrium and the coordination of movement; acts as a comparator of motor output and sensory input to fine tune movement, important for locomotion, movement learning and balance  
🗑
the function of the PEDUNCLES   connect the cerebellum with the brainstem  
🗑
the function of the superior peduncle   transmits cerebellar outputs to the brainstem, then to the thalamus, motor cortex and spinal cord; mediates ongoing movements  
🗑
the function of the middle peduncle   relays ongoing sensorimotor information from opposite cerebral hemispheres  
🗑
the function of the inferior peduncle   mediates sensorimotor information from the spinal cord and brainstem, mediates vestibular information  
🗑
CEREBELLAR NUCLEI: dentate   limb coordination  
🗑
CEREBELLAR NUCLEI: interposed   regulates movements of ipsilateral extremities  
🗑
CEREBELLAR NUCLEI: fastigial   connected to vestibular system; maintains equilibrium and body posture  
🗑
the functional organization of the CEREBELLAR LOBE   ipsilateral organization  
🗑
CEREBELLAR LOBE: the function of the archicerebellum   balance  
🗑
CEREBELLAR LOBE: the function of the paleocerebellum   locomotion, muscle tone, equilibrium and posture  
🗑
CEREBELLAR LOBE: the function of the neocerebellum   limb and speech coordination  
🗑
general characteristics of cerebellar symptoms   an ipsilateral character to the signs, deficits related to motor functions with no sensory loss or paralysis, gradual recovery  
🗑
the results of damage to the cerebellum   patients cannot precisely control their body parts during movement even though they seem normal in regard to strength and somatosensation; most pronounced in activities that require rapid, alternating movements  
🗑
Cerebellar impairment: Ataxia   lack of order and coordination in sequential voluntary muscle activity  
🗑
Cerebellar impairment: Dysarthria   impaired ability to make needed modifications and alteration in ongoing oral-facial movement; produces a drastic effect on speech  
🗑
Cerebellar impairment:Dysmetria   an error in the judgment of a movement’s range or the distance to the target  
🗑
Cerebellar impairment: Hypotonia   normal muscle tension is decreased and the muscle becomes floppy  
🗑
Cerebellar impairment: Disequilibrium   predominantly affects the legs; marked by unsteady gait with the body wavering toward the side of the lesion  
🗑
PONS: Metencephalon   Location: between the midbrain and medulla; Function: contains all descending motor fibers and ascending sensory fibers  
🗑
MEDULLA OBLONGATA: Myelencephalon   Location: Most caudal part of the brainstem; Function: it contains all the motor fibers that descend to the spinal cord and all the sensory fibers that carry sensory information from the body to the more rostral brain areas  
🗑
DERMATOME   an area of skin that is supplied with the nerve fibers of a single, posterior, spinal root; 31 pairs of spinal nerves are formed by the merging of sensory and motor roots of the spinal cord  
🗑
ASCENDING CIRCUITS   sends sensory information from the body parts up to the brain  
🗑
DESCENDING CIRCUITS   sends motor information down to muscles; Decussation pattern: on their way to the spinal cord, the corticospinal fibers cross the midline at the causal end of the medulla to form the lateral corticospinal tract  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
