Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

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

Hint: G/S

Layers of the cerebellum:Purkinje layer: _____ fibers form excitatory synapses with the Purkinje cells, Stellate cell and Basket cells

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

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.

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

The _____ band of Baillarger is seen in the internal granular layer of cerebral cortex.

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

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

Purkinje cells in the _____ of the cerebellum project to the globose and emboliform nuclei
