25
what demarcates the metencephalon from the myelencephalon?
the pontine flexure
26
in the caudal myelencephalon, where do neuroblasts in the alar plates migrate to?
to the marginal zone
27
neuroblasts in the alar plates that migrate to the marginal zone become what?
nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus
28
what is associated with the nucleus gracilis and nucleus cuneatus?
the pathway that is responsible for processing proprioceptive information --> PCML
29
what is found in the basal plates of the caudal myelencephalon?
pyramids
30
what do the pyramids consist of?
white matter tracts for the corticospinal pathway (motor)
31
what is the structure like of the rostral myelencephalon?
it is wide and flat
32
what causes the myelencephalon to be wide and flat?
the pontine flexure causes the walls of the medulla to move laterally
33
what happens to the roof plate of the rostral myelencephalon?
it becomes greatly thinned
34
what is the positioning of the alar and basal plates in the rostral myelencephalon?
the alar plates are lateral to the basal plates
35
neuroblasts in the basal plate of the medulla develop into what?
motor neurons
36
motor neurons that developed from neuroblasts in the basal plate of the medulla organize their nuclei into what cell columns?
general somatic efferent, special visceral efferent, and general visceral efferent
37
neuroblasts in the alar plates of the medulla form neurons that are arranged in what columns?
general visceral afferent, special visceral afferent, general somatic afferent, and special somatic afferent
38
some neuroblasts from the alar plates of the medulla migrate more ventrally compared to the afferent columns and they form neurons in what region?
olivary nuclei
39
What forces the walls of the pons to move laterally?
the pontine flexure
40
what happens when the pontine flexure forces the pons to move laterally?
it spreads the gray matter in the floor of the 4th ventricle
41
What does the cerebellum develop from?
the dorsal part of the alar plates
42
Besides the cerebellum, what also develops from the alar plates of the metencephalon?
central nuclei, pontine, cochlear nuclei
43
what is the term for when you have pia mater + ependymal roof?
tela choroidea
44
neuroblasts from the alar plates of the midbrain migrate into what?
the tectum
45
what is formed when neuroblasts from the alar plates of the midbrain migrate into the tectum?
the superior and inferior colliculi
46
what do neuroblasts from the basal plate of the midbrain form?
the tegmental nuclei
47
what makes up the tegmental nuclei?
red nuclei, reticular nuclei, CN III, CN IV nuclei
48
what connects the 3rd ventricle to the 4th?
the cerebral aqueduct
49
what do fibers growing from the cerebral cortex form in the midbrain?
the cerebral peduncles (crus cerebri)
50
what are the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus form from?
swellings (3) in the lateral walls of the 3rd ventricle
51
what does the pineal gland develop from?
as a median outgrowth of the roof of the diencephalon
52
what does the hypothalamus arise from?
neuroblasts in the intermediate zone in the lateral wall of the 3rd ventricle

when does the hypophyseal diverticulum regress from the oral cavity?
6th week
61
what gives rise to the falx cerebri?
mesenchyme trapped in longitudinal fissure

When does the corpus striatum appear?
in the 6th week
63

holoprosencephaly (HPE)
64
what are the group of nerve fibers interconnecting the cerebral hemispheres known as?
cerebral commissures
65
What is the initial commissure that forms?
lamina terminalis
66
where does the lamina terminalis lie?
extends from the roof of the diencephalon to the optic chiasm
67
which commissure interconnects the temporal lobes with in each hemisphere?
the anterior commissure

lissencephaly
70
What causes microcephaly?
autosomal recessive, ionizing radiation, Zika virus, maternal alcohol abuse
71
How do you get an interthalamic adhesion?
when the thalamus fuses at the midline (~70%)
72
what is the connecting stalk of the neurohypophyseal diverticulum?
the infundibulum
73
What are the basal nuclei collectively referred to as?
corpus striatum
74
What does the corpus striatum separate into?
the caudate nucleus, the putamen, and the globus pallidus nuclei
