1
Q

What are the parts of the corpus callosum?

A

rostrum (inferiorily), genu (rostrally), body, splenium (caudally)

2
Q

What are parts of the lateral ventricle?

A

anterior horn, posterior horn, inferior horn (aka temporal horn)
body and atrium (posterior)

3
Q

Where is the atrium of the lateral ventricle?

A

posterior, where the temporal and posterior horns meet

4
Q

Where does the tail of the caudate nucleus go? What kind of a structure is the caudate nucleus?

A

C-shaped structure. Tail follows the wall of the lateral ventricel into the temporal lobe

5
Q

What structures are connected by the stria terminalis?

A

amygdala and hypothalamus

6
Q

Where does the fimbria of the fornix attach?

A

hippocampus

7
Q

what is the crus of the fornix?

A

the part that goes into the temporal lobe

8
Q

What is the column of the fornix? What do they do?

A

dive inferiorily into the hypothalamus

connect mammillary bodies and the hippocampus

9
Q

Where is the pulvinar?

A

caudally projecting part of the posterior thalamic nuclei

10
Q

What structures are near the pineal body?

A

sits between the superior colliculi

11
Q

What does the anteriori commissure do?

A

connects olfactory and temporal lobe structures

12
Q

What is the tectum?

A

superior and inferior colliculi + periaqueductal gray (surrounds the cerebral aqueduct)

13
Q

What are the landmarks for the hypothalamus?

A

right above the optic chiasm (above = dorsal) and ventral to the very end of the columns of the fornix
below the thalamus
extends from optic chiasm to causal border of the mammillary bodies

14
Q

Describe the relationship between the hippocampus and the amygdala (anatomical)

A

amigdala is anterior (rostral) to hippocamppus

15
Q

What are the walls of the anterior horn of ventricle?

A

septum pellucidum (medial), genu of corpus collosum is the anterior wall; thalamus is the lateral wall; roof is the centrum semiovale;

16
Q

What are the walls of the body of the lateral ventricle?

A

medial wall: fornix and septum pellucidum
lateral wall: body of the caudate nucleus and stria terminalis
floor: thalamus
