Identify this structure:
Caudate nucleus
Identify this structure:
corpus callosum

Identify this structure:
thalamus
Identify this structure:
Caudate nucleus
Identify this structure:
corpus callosum
Identify this structure:
internal capsule
Identify this structure:
thalamus
Identify this structure:
hypothalamus
What is the functional difference between the corpus callosum and the internal capsule?
The internal capsule brings information from the cerebrum to the corpus callosum which then communicates it with the opposite side of the brain
In humans, an experimental surgery that transplants dopamine producing cells into the caudate nucleus is performed to improve some patients Parkinson’s disease. If you were to practice this surgery on a dog, how would you surgically access the caudate nucleus with minimal damage to other neural tissues?
sever the corpus callosum in half
Identify this structure and what is it in charge of?

Identify this structure and what is it in charge of?
caudal colliculus; auditory (BANG) reflex
Identify this structure:
trochlear nerve
Identify this structure and what is located within this structure?
crus cerebri; cerebral motor tracts
