Question 9

Major structures of the basal nuclei that control movement

Answer 9

Answer 11

Thalamus

Question 12

largely responsible for comparing information from the cerebrum with sensory feedback from the periphery through the spinal cord.

Answer 13

Cerebellum

Frontal Love

Question 23

Middle region of the adult brain that develops from the mesencephalon

Answer 23

Midbrain

Question 24

Deep within the cerebrum, the white matter of this provides the major pathway for communication between the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex.
