Q

Traumatic brain injury that is sever

A

Concussion

128

Dementia pugilistica

129
Q

Olfactory or Nose Brain

A

Rhinencephalon

130
Q

Olfactory neurons are found where?

A

in the epithelium of the upper 10% of the nasal cavity.

131
Q

Olfactory fibers penetrate thorugh the

A

Cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone

132
Q

This plays a key role in the extra pyramidal system. It is considered a pre-upper motor influence system since its input is primarily on cortical motor centers. It also contributes to the brains ability to inhibit pain

A

Basal Ganglia

133
Q

When one part of the brain is injured, seeing as the somatotopic map has flexibility, another part of it might take over …this mechanism is known as

A

Plasticity

134
Q

This is considered to be an ancient part of the basal ganglia.

Has a complex series of subdivisions, all located within the temporal lobe caudal to the uncus.

Input is via the olfactory lateral striae, the hypothalamus and the neocortex

outputs are many and varied.

A

Amygdaloid complex

135
Q

A lesion here may lead to no detectable olfactory change and it is involved in the limbic system.

A

Amygdaloid complex

136
Q

This thalamic nuclei sends information to the 6th broadmann area and also receives information from the dentate nucleus

A

Ventral Anterior nuclei

137
Q

This thalamic nuclei receives information from the spinothalamic tracts and then sends information to broadmann areas 1,2 and 3

This area receives infomation from the lateral geniculate body

A

Broadmann area #17

139
Q

The optic tract sends information into this body of the thalamus

A

Lateral geniculate body

140
Q

The lateral lemniscus and inferior colliculus send information to this body of the thalamus

A

Medial geniculate

141
Q

These areas receive information from the medial geniculate body

A

41 and 42

142
Q

The globus pallidus and the substantia nigra all send information to these two areas of the thalamus

A

Ventral Anterior nucleus and the Ventro lateral nucleus

143
Q

The anterior nuclei of the thalamus gives information to the

Anterior Thalamic nucleus

145
Q

The medial lemniscus and Ventral trigeminothalamic tract all send information into these areas of the thalamus

A

Vpl and VPM respectively
