Median optic nucleus
Lies in the pre-optic area of the anterior hypothalamus it is involved in osmo regulation thermoregulation and sleep homeostasis
Circle of willis
Junction off arteries at the base of the brain begins to form when the right and left internal carotid artery enters the cranial cavity and each divides into two main branches anterior cerebral and middle cerebral artery
Corpus callosum
Large bundle of nerve fibres connecting the two brain hemispheres permitting communication between the right and left sides of the brain
Broca’s area
Concerned with speech production lies in the cortex of the dominant frontal lobe damage to it results in broca aphasia difficulty in the forming words or speak Broadman is number 4445
Cerebellar disorders dysmetria and dysdia chokinesia
Dysmetria:Inability to control the distance speed and range of motion for coordinated movements
Dysdiachokinesia: slowed or clumsy supination /pronation of upper extremities for example turning doorknob
Corticospinal tract
Descending pathway controls movement of the limbs and trunk cortex-internal capsule- brainstem(cerebral crus of brainstem)-decussation at caudal medulla-lateral and ant corticospinal
Cerebral peduncles
Connect brainstem to cerebellum and assist in refining motor movements learning new motor skills converting proprioceptive info into balance and positive maintenance
