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

The lowest projection of ligamentum denticulatum lies at the level of _____ - L1 spinal nerves.

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

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

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

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.

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