Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

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

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

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

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

Acoustic neuroma most commonly arises from the _____ division of 8th cranial nerve at the site of transition of central to peripheral myelin i.e. Obersteiner-Redlich zone.

The _____ nucleus of the thalamus generally receives input from the hypothalamus and sends output to the prefrontal cortex.

Layers of the cerebellum:_____ fibres end on the dendrites of granule cells and form complexes called as glomeruli

Layers of the cerebellum:Granular layer: _____ cells send inhibitory output to the granule cells

The _____-order neuron of the dorsal column-medial lemniscal tract ascends contra-laterally in the medial lemnicscus (brainstem and above)

The _____ sinus terminates by joining with the great cerebral vein of Galen to form the straight sinus
