Motor System
One of the nuclei of the basal ganglia
Caudate or putamen
Major subcortical nucleus involved with memory processing
Hippocampus
Major triangular shaped, subcortical nucleus of temporal lobe involved with emotion
Amygdala
Lobe located in the posterior portion of the forebrain, critical for visual processing.
Name of white matter as it fans out across areas of cortex
Corona radiate
The speckled fibers that run through the basal ganglia and carry motor information
Internal capsule
Name of fibers ventral to the lateral ventricles that originate in the hippocampus
Fornix
Large gyrus dorsal to the corpus callosum that is part of the limbic system
Cingulate gyrus
Flaps of white matter on on the ventral external portion of the brain, essential for smell or olfaction
Olfactory bulb
The thin band of axons that forms the lateral border of the basal ganglia
External capsule
The area of the cortex that is at the most dorsal stop in the frontal lobe
Primary motor
One of the targets of the Fornix
Thalamus, Septal area, or Mammilary bodies
Limbic structure at the most ventral surface of the brain that receives input from the hippocampus
Mammillary bodies
Cortex just posterior to the central sulcus, associated with the sense of touch
Somatosensory cortex
The space just anterior to the cerebral aquaduct that holds CSF
3rd ventricle
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
The most ventral lobe that houses structures critical for memory formation
Temporal
This lobe houses the somatosensory cortex and is surrounded by all other lobes
Parietal lobe
The area at the posterior part of the Thalamus that is involved with vision
Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN)
