Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Layers of the cerebellum:Granular layer: contains _____ cells that receive input from parallel fibers and mossy fibers

The dentate nucleus sends axons that decussate in the _____ and then synapse in the contralateral ventral lateral (VL) nucleus of the thalamus

Output fibres from thalamus project to the _____ and to the basal nuclei and hypothalamus

Hint: major

The flexure between the _____ and the myelencephalon is called as the pontine flexure.

The length of the intra-_____ part of the optic nerve is 5-9mm

Within the ventral horn, alpha and gamma motoneurons that innervate _____ are located more ventrally

Relations of the lateral ventricle: Inferior hornRoof: _____ of the corpus callosum and tail of caudate Floor: collateral eminence and hippocampus

The _____-order neuron of the dorsal column-medial lemniscal tract decussates in the caudal medulla

_____ fibers that enter the cerebellum originate from the inferior olivary nuclei of the contralateral medulla

The _____ of the reticular formation is located in the posterior rostral pons and is responsible for synthesis of norepinephrine
