Q

Thalamus

A
  • gate to consciousness
  • Specific thalamus nuclei(memory, emotion, motivation)
  • Sensory nuclei (sorting/filtering perceptions but smell)
  • Motoric nuclei (coordination between cerebellum& basal ganglia=)
  • Unspecific nuclei (arousal, sleep rhythm)

21
Q

Epithalamus + epiphysis

A

Synthesising Melatonin from Serotonin

-Photoreceptors collaterals to optic tract

22
Q

Hypophyse

A
  • Controlling functions of inner organs (adaption to emotion)
23
Q

Telencephalon

A

Basal Ganglia

Somata (gray matter), core/mark (white matter)

24
Q

Direct Pathway of BG

A

Cerebral cortex arousing -> BG inhibiting thalamus -> arousing cortex –> fluent movements/cognitive processes

25
Q

Indirect Pathway of BG

A

inhibition of inhibited thalamus -> inhibition of cortex -> no fluent movements

26
Q

Pathway I

A

Nigrostriatal (connecting substantia nigra and dorsal striatium, part of BG motor loop)
Mesolimbic (reward pathway, Dopaminergic addiction)

27
Q

Pathway II

A

Mesocortical: cognitive control, motivation, emotional response (schizophrenia)
Tuberofundibular: regulation of ecretion of prolactin from anterior pituitary

28
Q

Limbic System

A

Hippocampus
Cingulate gyrus
Amygdala (frontal end of hypothalamus)
- protected by temporal lobe

29
Q

Cingulate gyrus

A
  • Anterior (Attention, pain processing ACC)
  • > Cingulotomy (cut through ACC-> Tourette syndrome, change in personality)
  • Posterior (not part of limbic system)
30
Q

Amygdala

A

Basolaterale Amygdala
(Sensory Inf. input from thalamus, frontal-, lateral lobe
