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
Group of interconnected subcortical structures playing a crucial role in motor control, reward processing, and other cognitive functions.
Basal Ganglia
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
The area of the cortex that is at the most dorsal stop in the frontal lobe, anterior to the central gyrus
Primary Motor Cortex
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
Any one of the nuclei (NOT tract) of the basal ganglia
Caudate or putamen
Any 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
The speckled fibers that run through the basal ganglia and carry motor information:
Internal Capsule
This subcortical nucleus is associated with nondeclarative, procedural memory.
Putamen
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
