Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

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.

Layers _____ of the LGB receive the projections of the axons from the temporal retina of the ipsilateral eye (uncrossed fibres)

Lesions to the somatosensory association cortex in the _____dominant hemisphere result in astereognosia, which is the inability to recognize objects by touch

The facial nerve exits the facial nucleus and loops around the _____ nucleus, forming the internal genu of the facial nerve

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

The posterior perforated substance present in the _____ is pierced by the posterior cerebral arteries.

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

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

Frontal eye field (area _____) is located in the middle frontal gyrus

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