| The lentiform nucleus is a combination of what two structures? | putamen globus pallidus |

| What is the thin lamina of gray matter located lateral to putamen? | claustrum |
| What lies lateral to claustrum | insular cortex |
| The 2 layers of white matter surrounding the claustrum are known as what | external and extreme capsules |
| What are the three types of white matter in the cerebral hemispheres | association fibers commissural fibers projection fibers |
| Which fibers connect cortical areas within same cerebral hemisphere? | association fibers |
| What fibers connect adjacent gyri | short association fibers |
| What fibers form bundless connection more distant areas of cerebral cortex | long association fibers |
| what is the long association fiber bundle that located deep to cingulate gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus connecting them | cingulum |
| what connects temporal and occipital cortical areas | inferior longitudinal fasciculus |
| What connects frontal and temporal cortical areas | uncinate fasciculus |
| what LAFB is located in the core of the cerebral hemisphere connecting frontal, parietal and occipital cortical areas | superior longitudinal fasciculus |
| What LAFB connects frontal and temporal cortical areas (sometimes considered part of superior longitudinal fasciculus) | arcuate fasiculus |
| what long association fiber bundle runs through the temporal lobe and connects frontal and occipital cortical areas | inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus |
| what LAFB is located between putamen and claustrum | external capsule |
| What LAFB is located between claustrum and insular cortex | extreme capsule |
| What fibers run from one cerebral hemisphere to the other, connecting functionally related areas? | Commissural Fibers |
| What are the 3 types of Commissural fiber bundles (CFB) | corpus callosum anterior commissure hippocampal commissure (commisure of fornix) |
| The largest bundle of commissure fibers | corpus callosum |
| The fiber bundle with a rostrum, genu, body and spleenium | corpus callosum |
| Corpus callosum fibers interconnecting frontal lobes loop through genu to form? | minor (frontal) forceps |
| Corpus callosum fibers interconnecting occipital lobes loop through splenium to form | major (occipital) forcep |
| What commissural fibers are located anterior to column of fornix to interconnect parts of frontal and temporal lobes | anterior commissure |
| What is the thin layer of commissural fibers, inferior to splenium of corpus callosum that extends from on crus of fornix to the other? | hippocampal commissure |
| What is another name for hippocampal commissure? | commissure of fornix |
| What does Soneira liken to a mustache in a slice of brain? | anterior commissure |
| The fibers that connect cerebral cortex with subcortical structures? | Projection fibers |
| Two Types of projection fibers | corticofugal - efferent corticopetal - afferent |
| projection fibers that carry impulses away from the cortex | terminate in corpus striatum, thalamus, brainstem, spinal cord = corticofugal |
| projection fibers that carry impulses toward the cortex | originate predominantly from thalamus - thalamocortical fibers = corticopetal |
| How are the projection fibers organized | large compact bundle of fibers forms the internal capsule |
| What is medial to the internal capsule | thalamus and caudate nucleus |
| What is lateral to the internal capsule | lentiform nucleus |
| Why is Micheal so nice to me? | He is nice to everyone, you are nothing special. |
| What is the orientation of the internal capsule in horizontal sections of the cerebral hemispheres? | angulated |
| What would a horizontal section of internal capsule include: | anterior limb, genu, posterior limb, sublenticular limb, retrolenticular limb |
| The part of the internal capsule located between head of caudate (medially) and lentiform nucleus (laterally) | anterior limb |
| What are the fibers connecting dorsomedial thalamic nuclei with prefontal cortex? | frontpontine fibers of anterior limb |
| What are the fibers connecting anterior thalamic nuclei with cingulate gyrus | anterior thalamic radiations of anterior limb |
| What level is the genu of the internal capsule found | interventricular foramen between anterior and posterior limbs |
| What is in the genu of the internal capsule | corticonuclear (corticobulbar)fibers |
