Q

How does the diencephalon develop?

A

appears as a swelling of the lateral aspect of the central canal. As it develops, the lumen of the central canal narrows and two pairs of swellings form - the thalamus dorsally and the hypothalamus ventrally. The narrowed central canal forms the 3rd ventricle

42
Q

What are the borders of the hypothalamus?

A

Superiorly = thalamus separated by hypothalamic sulcus
Anteriorly = anterior commissure and remnants of lamina terminalis
Anterioventrally = optic chaism and pituitary stalk
Inferiorly/caudally = mamillary bodies

43
Q

What is the central lobe on the medial surface, that is in the middle of the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal lobes?

A

Limbic lobe

44
Q

What are some fucntions the limbic system/lobe involved in?

A

Memory and emotions

45
Q

What part of the brain does CN I develop from?

A

Telencephalon

46
Q

What are four main parts of the outer brain?

A

Cerebral cortex
Corpus striatum
Limbic structures
Subcortical fibres

47
Q

What is the corpus striatum nicknamed?

A

Striped body

48
Q

What are the three structures of grey matter which comprise the corpus striatum?

A

Globus pallidus (internus and externus)
Putamen
Caudate nucleus

49
Q

What makes up the lentiform nucleus?

A

The globus pallidus and putamen

50
Q

What is the corpus striatum part of? And what is its role?

A

Basal nuclei/ganglia thus has a role in motor control

51
Q

What connects the putamen and caudate nucleus?

A

Cellular bridges of grey matter and white matter fibres

52
Q

Why is it named the corpus striatum?

A

As when a section is taken through it, it has a striated appearance

53
Q

What is the shape of the caudate nucleus?

A

C - shaped

54
Q

What parts is the caudate nucleus made up of?

A

A head, body and tail

55
Q

Where does the caudate nucleus sit?

A

Within the c of the lateral ventricles forming a wall between the anterior and inferior horns. The head and body of the caudate nucleus sit laterally to the anterior horn and the tail forms the roof of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle

What are three major parts of the hemispheric limbic system?

A

Hippocampus
Fornix
Amygdala

59
Q

How does the hemispheric limbic system sit in comparison to the thalamus?

A

The hippocampus sits laterally to the thalami and the fimbria of the fornix carries white matter fibres from the hippocampus, arches over the thalami as the crus and body of the fornix to connect to the columns of the fornix forming the mamillary bodies medially to the two thalami

What fibres are found in the fornix?

A

Efferent fibres of the hippocampus

61
Q

What boundary of the lateral ventricles is formed by the hippocampus?

A

The floor of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricles

62
Q

What are association fibres?

A

Fibres which interconnect areas within a hemisphere and adjacent gyri e.g. short association fibres between post and pre central gyrus and long association fibres between lobes of the same hemisphere

63
Q

What are commissural fibres?

A

Nerve fibres which interconnect areas between hemispheres e.g. great cerebral commissure aka corpus callosum and the anterior/rostral commissure

64
Q

What are the parts of the corpus collosum?

A

Rostrum, genu, body and splenium

65
Q

Where do the corpus collosum and anterior commissure originate from embryologically?

A

Telencephalon

66
Q

What are the three types of white matter subcortical fibres of the hemispheres?

A

Association fibres
Commissural fibres
Projection fibres

67
Q

What are examples of areas with commissural fibres?

A

Corpus callosum
Anterior commissure
Hippocampal commissure aka commissure of the fornix

68
Q

Where are projection fibres found? What is there function?

A

In the corona radiate and internal capsule
Connect cerebrum with the rest of the CNS

69
Q

What is the relationship between the corona radiata and the internal capsule?

A

They are continuous with eachother

70
Q

Are projection fibres ascending, descending or both?

A

Both

71
Q

What is the course of the internal capsule?

A

Connects to the crus cerebri, anterior part of the pons and the medulla pyramids by travelling from the corona radiata between the head of caudate nucleus and lentiform nuclei.

72
Q

What are the parts of the internal capsule?

A

Anterior limb (between head of caudate and putamen)
Genu of internal capsule
Posterior limb (between thalamus and lentiform nucleus)
