Q

What keep the plan running while planning in the cortex takes place?

A

Basal Ganglia-subcortical nuclei. maintain postural background during voluntarily activities. Walking and talking

17
Q

This area is the reason for aggressive, fight-flight behavior within subcortical nuclei?

A

Amygdaloid Nucleus

18
Q

what disease is example of disconnect with subcortical/basal ganglia and cortex?

A

Parkinson- enter a door, step over crack. problem substani nigra which feeds deep cortical nuclei. Tremors over shoot, turning overshoot

A

Thalamus

20
Q

Control of homeostatic systems of the body through pituitary gland via hormones

A

Hypothalamus

21
Q

The superior colliculus provide what info to flinch when something is thrown at us and where?

A

Visual- Quadrigeminal plate Mesencephalon

22
Q

The inferior colliculus provide what info to flinch when a horn is blown, and where?

A

Auditory- Quadrigeminal plate Mesencephalon

23
Q

What is a mound of tissue created by fibers that are diverting their pathway and going in and out of cerebellum

A

Pons- contain pontine nuclei or RAS

24
Q

When doing the Romberg test what section of brain is test via what tract?

A

Location is Cerebellum. Testing integrity of posterior column. Proprioception. Road test. ETOH impairs
