Motor System
Responsible for coordinating movement, balance, posture, and some aspects of motor learning
Cerebellum
Plays a crucial role in emotional memories like fear
Amygdala
The most ventral lobe that houses structures critical for memory formation.
Temporal Lobe
Name any one midbrain structure
Tectum
Superior colliculus
Inferior colliculus
Tegmentum
Cerebral aquaduct
The lobe located in the anterior most portion of the cerebrum
Frontal lobe
The area of the cortex that is at the most dorsal stop in the frontal lobe
Primary motor cortex
Major subcortical structure involved with memory processing
Hippocampus
Sensory and motor relay center of the brain
Thalamus
Name of white matter as it fans out across areas of cortex
Corona Radiata
Auditory Cortex
One of the nuclei of the basal ganglia
Caudate or putamen
Name of fibers ventral to the lateral ventricles that originate in the hippocampus
Fornix
Small subcortical structure crucial in maintaining homeostasis
Hypothalamus
The anterior portion of the base of the brain, inferior to the hypothalamus, and part of the visual system
Optic Chiasm
This lobe is mostly responsible for spatial reasoning.
Parietial Lobe
The speckled fibers that run through the basal ganglia and carry motor information:
Internal capsule
One of the targets of the Fornix
Thalamus, Septal area, or Mammilary bodies
Large gyrus dorsal to the corpus callosum that is part of the limbic system
Cingulate gyrus
The space just anterior to the cerebral aquaduct that holds CSF
3rd ventricle
This cortex is large in humans relative to other mammals and is responsible for higher order reasoning.
Prefrontal Cortex
Motor fibers that are ventral to the thalamus before entering the pons:
Cerebral peduncles
The lower pair of dots that originate in the hippocampus
Columns of fornix
Limbic structure at the most ventral surface of the brain that receives input from the hippocampus
Mammillary Bodies
The thin band of axons that forms the lateral border of the basal ganglia
External capsule
This cortex is located immediately posterior to the central gyrus
Somatosensory Cortex
