Thalamic nuclei
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- thalamus (diencephalon)
General functions- transmission of signals from other regions of CNS to the cerebral cortex mediating sensory, motor, cognitive, and affective (emotional) functions
Associated disorders- disruption and possible loss of sensory, motor and other functions
32
Hypothalamic nuclei
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- hypothalamus (hypothalamic nuclei)
General functions- visceral (feeding, drinking, autonomic, and endocrine functions and sexual and emotional behavior)
Associated disorders- disruption, loss, or alterations in visceral and affective functions and processes
33
Hippocampal formation, amygdala, septal area, cingulate gyrus, prefrontal cortex
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- limbic structures
General functions- modulation of hypothalamic functions; regulation of emotional behavior, short-term memory
Associated disorders- temporal lobe epilepsy; loss of control of emotions and related affective processes; loss of short term memory
34
Cerebellum: anterior, posterior and flocculonodular lobes
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- cerebellum and brainstem
General functions-integration of motor functions related to all regions of CNS associated with motor and related processes
Associated disorders- loss of balance; ataxia; hypotonia; loss of coordination; disorders of movement when intentionally attempting to produce a purposeful response
35
Midbrain
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- cerebellum and brainstem
General functions- transmission and regulation of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions (CN III and IV)
Associated disorders- sensory, motor, and autonomic deficits as well as deficits associated with CN III and IV
36
Pons
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- cerebellum and brainstem
General functions- transmission and regulation of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions (CN V, VI, and VII)
Associated disorders- sensory, motor, and autonomic deficits as well as deficits associated with CN V, VI, VII
37
Medulla
Brain region-
General functions-
Associated disorders-
Brain region- cerebellum and brainstem
General functions- transmission and regulation of sensory, motor, and autonomic functions (CN VIII, IX, X, XII)
Associated disorders- sensory, motor, and autonomic deficits, including respiration, as well as deficits associated with CN VIII, IX, X, XII
