Caudate Nucleus
ONE OF THE STRUCTURES THAT MAKES UP THE DORSAL STRIATUM (ASSOCIATED WITH PARKINSON'S) [two of them]
THALAMUS
LARGE MASS OF GRAY MATTER IN THE DORSAL PART OF THE DIENCEPHALON, WHICH RELAYS SENSORY SIGNALS (two of them)
Fornix
A "C" shaped bundle of nerve fibers in the brain
Mid-Brain
portion of the central nervous system. It is associated with vision, hearing, and sleeping.
Amygdala
(one of two) performs a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses
Hippocampus
major component of the brain (one of two) it consolidated information from short-term to long-term
Globus Pallidus
subcortical part of the brain
CEREBRAL AQUEDUCT
within the mid-brain that contains cerebrospinal fluid and connects the 3rd ventricle to the 4th ventricle
Pineal Gland
IT PRODUCES MELATONIN WHICH MONITORS SLEEP PATTERNS
MAMMILLARY BODIES
A pair of small round bodies located on the under surface of the brain that form part of the limbic system.
HYPOTHALAMUS
Links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland
OPTIC CHIASM
WHERE THE OPTIC NERVES PARTIALLY CROSS AND IS IMMEDIATELY INFERIOR TO THE HYPOTHALAMUS
PONS
part of the brainstem and lies inferior to the mid-brain
CEREBELLUM
(two of them) plays an important role in motor control, and is also involved in cognitive functions
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
long stem like structure located in the brainstem, responsible for involuntary functions ranging from vomiting to sneezing
Putamen
a round structure located at eye base of the forebrain that regulates movement at various stages and also plays a role in parkinson's disease
Frontal Lobe
it is responsible for decision making and reasoning.
Corpus Callosum
connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
Limbic System
responsible for processing, learning, memory, and emotion.
Occipital Lobe
interprets vision
Brain Stem
provides the main motor and sensory nerve supply to the face and neck
