Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is characterized by:- damage _____laterally to the mammillary bodies - periventricular hemorrhagic lesions to the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus

Medial midbrain (Weber) syndrome is caused by occlusion of the _____ branches of the posterior cerebral artery

_____ hematoma is due to tearing of bridging veins that lie between the dura and arachnoid

Facial nerve divides into 2 main terminal trunks: _____ and Cervicofacial.

Layers of the cerebellum: Purkinje layer - The axons of Purkinje cells pass through the _____ layer into the white matter and synapse with the cerebellar nuclei.

The _____ is a membrane separating the anterior horns of the left and right lateral ventricles of the brain.

The most common site for a _____ aneurysm is at the junction of the anterior communicating and anterior cerebral arteries

Components of Papez Circuit are: He-_____ Man-Mamillary body Ate-Anterior thalamus Cat-Cingulate gyrus

Rules of 4: Lesions in the brain stem that affect the _____ result in ipsi-lateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia

Layers of the cerebellum: Molecular layer - _____ and basket cells receive excitatory input from parallel fibers and form inhibitory synapses on Purkinje cells
