The traditional term used to denote a number of subcortical nuclear masses within the cerebral hemisphere? | Includes corpus striatum with caudate nucleus and lentiform (with putamen and globus pallidus) amygdaloid complex and claustrum. AKA - Basal Nuclei |

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 |

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 |
