Term
Definition
Diencephalon   Thalamus Hypothalamus Epithalamus Subthalamus  
🗑
Epithalamus   Part of Diencephalon that regulates diurnal (sleep Cycle,body temperature, metabolic rate/digestion) and automatic body functions Consists of the Pineal Gland & Habenular  
🗑
Subthalamus   Part of Diencephalon that is Important in motor control  
🗑
Hypothalamus   -Part of Diencephalon that mediates endocrine and metabolic states -Is directly related to the limbic system -Regulates body temp, water and food intake, metabolism, sexual behavior, anger, aggression.  
🗑
Limbic System   takes care of our most primitive functions like sexual drive, hunger etc...  
🗑
Main function of Thalamus   -acts as relay station receiving info & sending info to another part of the CNS  
🗑
Other Functions of Thalamus   -Integrates sensorimotor information from the Basal Ganglia, Cerebellum, & Cortex -Regulates function of association cortex & cortically mediated speech, language, & cognitive functions.  
🗑
Three levels of Thalamic Nuclei   Medial Ventral Lateral  
🗑
Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus   Most primitive of thalamic nucleus Relays info to the Limbic system,contributes to direction of: digestive respiratory urogenital endocrine functions  
🗑
Reticular Nucleus   Thalamic nucleus that acts a sensory integrator and relayer of motor info -Located between external medullary lamina and internal capsule  
🗑
Intralaminar Nuclei   -Thalamic nucleus in core of internal medullary lamina -Has afferent and efferent connections -Modulates Excitability of association cortex  
🗑
Intralaminar Nuclei Afferent Connections   -Brings info into the thalamus from various locations like the Globus Pallidus, Vestibular N, Superior colliculus, brainstem reticular formation, Cortex, Brainstem & Cerebellum  
🗑
Intralaminar Nuclei Efferent Connections   Takes info away from the Thalamus to the Basal Ganglia and Cortex  
🗑
Dorsomedial Nucleus   Integrates emotion, thought, and judgment Destruction lowers threshold for rage May be related Korsakoff's syndrome  
🗑
Dorsomedial Nucleus Afferent connections   Afferent(towards the thalamus) connections from prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, centromedianum nucleus, hypothalamus  
🗑
Dorsomedial Nucleus Efferent connections   Efferent (away) projections to prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex and limbic structures  
🗑
Midline Nucelus Complex   -Medial Nucleus of the Thalamus -Important in visceral functions -Afferent Connections from brainstem reticular formation -Efferent Connections to Cingulate gyrus and hypothalamus  
🗑
Pulvinar   Lateral nuclear complex located on the posterior portion of the Thalamus -Connects visual areas with association cortex -Important in language formation, language processing, lexical properties, reading writing-  
🗑
Ventral Anterior Nucleus   Thalamic Ventral Nuclear Complex -Premotor cortex and skilled movements -Voluntary movements  
🗑
Ventrolateral Nucleus   Thalamic Ventral Nuclear Complex -Contributes to voluntary motor tasks  
🗑
Ventral Posterior Nucleus   Thalamic Ventral Nuclear Complex Sensation from Body and Face  
🗑
Lateral Geniculate Bodies   -located on the Thalamus (little posterior balls) -Relay center for Vision -Unilateral lesion would not cause vision lost, bilateral would  
🗑
Medial Geniculate Body   -located on the Thalamus -Relay center for Audition (cannot see on thalamus picture) -unilateral destruction in this area you will still be able to hear in both ears b/c only 10% of info if ipsilateral. Bilateral lesion would result in hearing lost  
🗑
Pineal Gland   Part of the epithalamus -Important for hormone productions -Inhibitory influence over gonadal function (sex function) -Diurnal rhythms (Important for regulating sleep cycle)  
🗑
Habenular Nucleus   Part of the epithalamus -Serves autonomic function and emotional drives  
🗑
Parts of the Subthalamus   2 Parts: -Subthalamic Nuclei -Zona Incerta  
🗑
Subthalamic Nuclei   - Controls Motor functions - deterioration of this area causes Hemiballism (motor disorder: involuntary violent movements, persists only during wakefulness)  
🗑
Zona Incerta   Visualmotor Coordinator  
🗑
Parts of Hypothalamus   -Optic chiasm (where visiual info crosses over) -Mammillary Bodies -Hypophysis (Pituitary gland) -Infundibular stem -Tuber cinereum  
🗑
Cognitive Functions of Thalamus   -Involved in language & speech functions -Subcortical aphasia include a thalamic based aphasia (left dominant thalamus) -Word Fluency Problems (decrease word output) -Neurogenic stuttering from surgeries or stroke in thalamus  
🗑
Thalamic Syndrome   -Gross detection of sensations at thalamic level -Can result in very strong misinterpretations of sensation  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
