Question
Answer
Motor Cortex (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Dura Mater   show
🗑
show It is interposed between the two other meninges. This delicate layer is attached to the inside of the dura and surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It does not line the brain down into its sulci (folds), with the exception of the longitudinal fissure.  
🗑
Pia Mater   show
🗑
Subarachnoid Cavity - (Subarachnoid Space)   show
🗑
show A depression in the surface of the brain. It surrounds the gyri, creating the characteristic appearance of the brain in humans and other large mammals.  
🗑
Basal Ganglia (Function & Location)   show
🗑
show Belongs to Limbic system. Experiencing and expressing emotion and evaluating an event's emotional significance, such as footsteps. Perform a primary role in the processing and memory of emotional reactions, and considered part of the limbic system.  
🗑
show A set of brain structures (thalmus, hippocampus, amygdalae, cingulate gyrus, hypothalmus, fornix, BG, olfactory, septum), that supports emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. All emotional experience comes from here.  
🗑
show Belongs to Limbic system. Plays important roles in consolidation of info from short-to long-term memory and spatial navigation. Located in the medial temporal lobe. One of the first to damage in Alzheimer's. Entry for memories (sights, sounds).  
🗑
Midbrain (Function & Location)   show
🗑
show Middle of brainstem. Sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions, facial sensation, and posture. Breathing (in to out). Used in sleep paralysis and helps generate dreams. Means "bridge."  
🗑
Medulla Oblongata (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Thalamus (Function & Location)   show
🗑
show Belongs to Limbic system. Receives inputs from thalamus, projects to cortex. Involved in emotion formation and pain. May directly drive conscious response to unpleasant experiences, involved in fear, prediction (and avoidance) of negative consequences.  
🗑
show Belongs to Limbic system. Most important function is to link nervous system to endocrine system via pituitary gland. Located below the thalamus, just above the brain stem. Forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. Regulates metabolic and ANS.  
🗑
show Endocrine gland the size of a pea. Not part of the brain but a protrusion off the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base and rests in a small, bony cavity (sella turcica) covered by a dural fold (diaphragma sellae). Secretes nine hormones for homeostasis.  
🗑
Pineal Gland - (Pineal Body, "Third Eye")   show
🗑
show Located beneath the Sylvian fissure in both hemispheres. Home to primary auditory cortex. Also important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision. It contains the hippocampus and plays a key role in the formation of long-term memory.  
🗑
Parietal Lobe (Function)   show
🗑
show The visual processing center of the brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. The two lobes are the smallest of four paired lobes in the cerebral cortex.  
🗑
Frontal Lobe (Function & Near Structure Locations)   show
🗑
Cerebrum - (Telencephalon)   show
🗑
Cerebellum (Function) ("Little Brain")   show
🗑
show Linked to speech and language production. It is (usually) in the left (dominant) hemisphere between the frontal and temporal lobe.  
🗑
Wernicke's Area (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Fissures (Definition)   show
🗑
show Two large blood vessels in your neck that supply the anterior portion of the brain's blood supply.  
🗑
show Major arteries of the neck. They branch from the subclavian arteries to form the single midline.  
🗑
show A complex from the neck to the brain that merges together to supply blood to the posterior part of the circle of Willis and thus significant portions of the brain.  
🗑
Basilar Artery (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Cerebral Cortex (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Interventricular Foramina - (Foramina of Monro) (Function & Location)   show
🗑
show A structure in the ventricles of the brain where CSF is produced. It consists of modified ependymal cells.  
🗑
Cisterna Magna (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Infundibulum - (Pituitary Stalk, "Little Bridge") (Function & Location)   show
🗑
show Believed to be involved in consciousness and diverse functions linked to emotion or regulation homeostasis including: perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive, and experience. In relation to these it is involved in psychopathology.  
🗑
Diencephalon - (Interbrain) (Function)   show
🗑
show A set of connected nuclei in the brain responsible for regulating arousal and sleep-wake transitions. As its name implies, its most influential component is the Reticular formation.  
🗑
Holes or Foramina: Right and Left Interventricular Foramina (Monro) (Location for CSF)   show
🗑
show From third ventricle to fourth ventricle.  
🗑
Holes or Foramina: Median Aperture (Magendie) (Location for CSF)   show
🗑
Holes or Foramina: Right and Left Lateral Aperture (Luschka) (Location for CSF)   show
🗑
show Classified as part of the telencephalon and are the largest of the ventricles. These connect to the central third ventricle through the interventricular foramen of Monro.  
🗑
Third Ventricle (Function & Location)   show
🗑
Fourth Ventricle (Location & CSF)   show
🗑
Flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid   show
🗑
Spinal Nerves: Mid Back T1 - T12   show
🗑
show Large intestines, appendix, abdomen, bladder, reproductive organs, lower back, lower extremities, ankles, feet, and more.  
🗑
Spinal Nerves: Sacrum and Coccyx Basebone or Tailbone   show
🗑
show Head, face, upper neck, inner & middle ear, sympathetic nerve system, sinuses, eyes, auditory nerves and more.  
🗑
show Neck, shoulders, thyroid, tonsils, teeth, outer ear, nose, mouth, vocal cords, and more.  
🗑
Impairment to the Brain - Pre-Central Gyrus:   show
🗑
show Broca's dysphasia, motor or expressive.  
🗑
Impairment to the Brain - Supplementary Motor Area:   show
🗑
show Damage is often bilateral. Personality change, antisocial behavior, loss of inhibitions.  
🗑
Impairment to the Brain - Para-Central Lobes:   show
🗑
show Posture, touch, passive mvt, auditory and visual comprehension, body image, awareness, ability to construct shapes (visual), numbers, lower visual fields.  
🗑
show Cortical deafness, auditory hallucinations may occur, memory/learning disturbance, possible complex partial szs, deja/jamais vu, olfactory hallucination, aggression, antisocial, no new memories, or upper quadrantanopia (a type of blindness).  
🗑
show Cortical blindness (can see light - light fibers terminate in midbrain), inability to direct gaze voluntarily, visual agnosia (loss of visual recognition)  
🗑
Fornix - (Latin, "vault" or "arch") (Function)   show
🗑
Foramen of Monro (AKA)   show
🗑
show Cerebral Aqueduct  
🗑
Where is the Choroid Plexus located?   show
🗑
show Anterior: Carotid -> Cranial Cavity bilaterally & divides to Anterior & Middle Cerebral -> united by Anterior Communicating. Poster: Basilar formed by L&R Vertebral -> L&R Posterior Cerebral -> joins Internal Carotid & enters via Posterior Communicating.  
🗑
