The spinocerebellar pathway terminates at this brain structure.
What is the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex)?
100
The "wiring" of a single reflex
What is a reflex arc?
100
"Keep your eye on the ball" is an appeal to use this structure of the midbrain, which controls the reflex movements of the eyes, head and neck in response to visual stimuli
What are the superior colliculi (of the corpora quadrigemina)?
100
These nuclei of the medulla oblongata relay visceral sensory information to autonomic processing centers
What are the solitary nuclei?
100
Horse trainers have found that you have to train a horse first on one side, then on the other because there is no exchange of information. This indicates that horses are missing this brain structure.
What is the corpus callosum
200
If you oppan gangnam style, you'll have to use this somatic motor pathway
What is the corticospinal pathway?
200
This type of reflex controls the activity of smooth & cardiac muscle, glands and adipose tissue
What is a visceral or autonomic reflex?
200
The red nuclei issue subconscious motor commands that affect the position and background muscle tone of this anatomical region
What are the upper limbs?
200
These structures deep to the cerebral cortex help coordinate learned movement patterns
What are the basal nuclei?
200
The shape of this structure reminded early anatomists of a sea horse
What is the hippocampus?
300
This somatic sensory pathway provides conscious sensations of poorly localized or "crude" touch
What is the spinothalamic pathway?
300
These autonomic reflex centers regulate heart rate and force of contraction
What are the cardiac centers (cardio-acceleratory or cardio-inhibitory)?
300
Parkinson's disease affects this collection of darkly pigmented cells that adjust the activity of the basal nuclei of the cerebrum
What is the substantia nigra?
300
These "bodies" of the hypothalamus control feeding reflexes such as licking and swallowing
What are the mamillary bodies?
300
Scott's modest claim to four home runs in four games can be attributed to the coordination and fine tuning of movements in this part of his brain.
What is the cerebellum?
400
The neurons of the posterior column pathway synapse on this structure superior to the midbrain.
What is the thalamus (ventral nuclei)?
Posterior column pathway-fine sensory information
400
These centers of the pons adjust the respiratory rhythmicity centers of the medula oblongata
What are the pneumotaxic and apneustic centers?
400
William Hung's viral rendition of "She Bangs" causes your ears to send offensive sensory information to these structures of the midbrain
What are the inferior colliculi?
400
These nuclei of the thalamus project visual information to the visual cortex
What are the lateral geniculate nuclei?
400
These two cortexes border the central sulcus of the brain
What are the sensory and motor cortexes?
500
This somatic motor pathway controls muscle tone and gross movements of neck, trunk, and proximal limb muscles
What is the medial pathway?
500
This representative withdrawal reflex acts to pull your hand away from a hot pan
What is the flexor reflex?
500
Damage to this structure of the midbrain produces unconsciousness; its stimulation makes you more alert
What is the reticular activating system (RAS)?
500
These green nuclei relay information from the red nucleus and the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum
What are the olivary nuclei?
500
This description of primitive behavior or emotion is named after a structure in the margin between the cerebrum and diencephalon
