Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

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.

In accommodation reflex pathway, the afferent fibres from optic tract reach the _____ and finally end at the parastriate cortex

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

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

The primary visual (striate) cortex is divided into _____ (superior) and lingual (inferior) gyri via the calcarine fissure

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

The fibers in the corticospinal tract leave the cerebral cortex in the _____ limb of the internal capsule

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

The two major outputs/ efferents of the basal ganglia are from _____ and substantia nigra pars reticulata

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