Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

The _____ band of Baillarger is seen in the internal granular layer of cerebral cortex.

Purkinje cells in the _____ of the cerebellum project to the dentate nucleus

Purkinje cells in the _____ of the cerebellum project to the globose and emboliform nuclei

The 2nd-order neurons of the spinothalamic tract synapse in the _____ nucleus of the thalamus

Neurons of the _____ cortex also known as area 6 are involved in planning of motor activities

Medial motor pathways:The _____ tract originates in the superior colliculus of the midbrain and projects to the contralateral cervical spinal cord to control head and eye movements.

The fibers from the _____ and the splenium of the corpus callosum which form the lateral wall of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle constitute the tapetum.

_____ visceral efferent columns contain nuclei of parasympathetic cranial nerves:III: Edinger-Westphal nucleusVII: Superior salivatory nucleusIX: Inferior salivatory nucleusX: Dorsal motor nucleus of vagus

Hint: G/S

The area between the ACA/MCA, PCA/MCA (_____ Border Zone) and the Deep / Superficial branches of the MCA (Internal Border Zone) represent watershed zones

Cerebellar circuitry begins with Purkinje cells that receive excitatory input from _____ fibers and parallel fibers (of granule cells)
