Motor System
This cortex is at the most dorsal stop in the frontal lobe responsible for planning movement
Primary motor cortex
Plays a crucial role in fear based emotional memory
Amygdala
The most ventral lobe that houses structures critical for memory formation.
Temporal Lobe
Name any of one the meninges
Dura Mater
Arachnoid
Pia mater
The lobe located in the anterior most portion of the cerebrum
Frontal lobe
Responsible for coordinating movement, balance, posture, and some aspects of motor learning and memory
Cerebellum
Major subcortical nucleus involved with memory processing and long term memory
Hippocampus
Sensory and motor relay center of the brain
Thalamus
Name any one midbrain structure
Tectum
Superior colliculus
Inferior colliculus
Tegmentum
Cerebral Aqueduct
Substantia Nigra
Cerebral Peduncles
This cortex processes sounds
Auditory Cortex
One of the input nuclei (major) of the basal ganglia related to initiating and terminating motor movement
Caudate or putamen
Name of fibers ventral to the lateral ventricles that originate in the hippocampus
Fornix
Grey matter involved with neuro-hormonal communication.
Hypothalamus
Name of white matter (bundles of axons) as it fans out across areas of cortex
Corona Radiata
This lobe is mostly responsible for spatial reasoning
Parietial Lobe
The thick band of fibers that run through the basal ganglia, descending from the primary motor cortex, 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 thin band of axons that forms the lateral border of the putamen in the basal ganglia
External capsule
This cortex is large in humans relative to other mammals and is responsible for higher order reasoning.
Prefrontal Cortex
This bundle of nerve fibers thickens from the internal capsule at it base, and connects the midbrain to the hindbrain
Cerebral peduncles
Split from the fornix, this structure is involved in memory and learning, particularly spatial memory.
Septal Area
Limbic structure at the most ventral surface of the brain that receives input from the hippocampus
Mammillary Bodies
The space just anterior to the cerebral aqueduct that holds cerebrospinal fluid, and its roof is made partially by the body of the fornix
3rd ventricle
This cortex is located immediately posterior to the central gyrus, responsible for senses like touch
Somatosensory Cortex
