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  
🗑


   

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.
