Parietal Lobe
Motor functions are found in which lobe?
Frontal lobe
What is a fasiculus?
A bundle of fibers that make up a single Fasicle
What are the 3 major types of cerebral cortex connections?
- Commissural (connects hemispheres) 2. Association (connections within same hemispheres) 3. Projection neurons -Spinal cord, basal ganglia, Thalamus
What type of connectivity is white matter connectivity?
Projection connectivity
What is the purpose of the limbic system?
Emotions, learning and memory, Motivation
IF this is damaged, it cause Alzheimers disease

What are the 5 major components of Basal Ganglia?
- Caudate Nucleus
- Putamen
- Globus Pallidus
- Subthalamic nucleus
- Substantia nigra
3 major divisions of the diencephalon
- Epithalamus
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
What releases seretonin - to help you sleep?
Epithalamus (division of diancephalon)
What produces CSF?
Choroid Plexus
What is the most rostral and most caudal divisions of the Hypothalamus?
