Brain and Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

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

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

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.

The _____ cistern contains the Basilar Artery

_____ 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

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

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

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

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.
