Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

_____/specialized glial cells in circumventricular organs help with the transport of neurochemicals to CSF.

Neurons of the _____ cortex also known as area 6 are involved in planning of motor activities

Course of 3rd Nerve:Lies on the anterior surface on midbrain in between the _____ artery and the superior cerebellar artery in the interpeduncular fossa

The fibers from the _____ and the splenium of the corpus callosum which form the lateral wall of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle constitute the tapetum.

Purkinje cells in the _____ of the cerebellum project to the dentate nucleus

The 2nd-order neurons of the spinothalamic tract synapse in the _____ nucleus of the thalamus

The area between the ACA/MCA, PCA/MCA (_____ Border Zone) and the Deep / Superficial branches of the MCA (Internal Border Zone) represent watershed zones

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

Cerebellar cortex (Molecular layer): _____ fibers form excitatory synapses with Purkinje cells, stellate cells, and basket cells.

_____ visceral efferent columns contain nuclei of parasympathetic cranial nerves:III: Edinger-Westphal nucleusVII: Superior salivatory nucleusIX: Inferior salivatory nucleusX: Dorsal motor nucleus of vagus
