Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

The T-shaped choroid plexus of the 4th ventricle is formed from the _____ and is supplied by the posterior inferior cerebellar arteries.

The length of the intra-_____ part of the optic nerve is 25-30mm

The _____ fibers of the cerebellum originate from the contralateral inferior olivary nucleus in the medulla oblongata

Relations of the lateral ventricle: Posterior hornRoof and lateral wall: _____ of the corpus callosum  Medial wall: forceps major and calcar avis

Visual information from the _____ retina travels in Meyer's loop (temporal lobe) before synapsing in the lingual gyrus

_____ fibres from the inferior olivary nuclei use glutamate as their neurotransmitter

The 3rd ventricle drains into the _____ via the cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius)

Medial motor pathways:The _____ tract originates in the superior colliculus of the midbrain and projects to the contralateral cervical spinal cord to control head and eye movements.

Cerebellar circuitry begins with Purkinje cells that receive excitatory input from _____ fibers and parallel fibers (of granule cells)

The _____ is the gelatinous component of the crista ampullaris that extends from the crista to the roof of the ampullae.
