Lab Exam 3 Flashcards
where are cell bodies for Clarke’s nucleus?
DRG (lower limb)
axons of DSCT synapse in what layer of cerebellum? what are these fibers called?
granule cell; mossy fibers
functional modality for accessory cuneate nucleus
proprioception upper limb
what layer of cerebellum does inferior olivary climbing fibers synapse?
purkinje cell layer
deficit in lateral reticular nucleus causes what?
ataxia
input to red nucleus
dentate and interposed nuclei, cerebral cortex
VA/VL thalamus receive majority of input from here
cerebellum and basal ganglia
nuclei that send axons to the central tegmental tract
rubro-olivary, nuclei solitarius
cell bodies for axons in ICP (restiform body) located here
clarke’s, accessory cuneate, lateral reticular, inferior olivary, spinal tigeminal, vestibular nuclei and RF
vestibular nuclei projects to these parts of cerebellum
flocculus, nodulus, vermis, fastigial nucleus
synaptic targets of deep cerebellar nuclei
red nucleus, VA/VL thalamus, vestibular nuclei
two major targets of fastigial nucleus
spinal cord, vestibular nuclei
axons of MCP originate here
contra. basilar pontine nuclei
part of red nucleus that gives rise to rubrospinal tract
magnocellular
input to basal pontine nuclei
cerebral cortex (4, 6)
functional deficits in lesion of cerebellar hemisphere
dysmetria, dysarthria, hypotonia, decomposition of movement, intention tremor, dysdiadochokinesia, ataxia
majority of axons in SCP come from here
deep cerebellar nuclei
majority of input to caudate nucleus
cerebral cortex
GP external sends majority of neurons here
subthalamic nucleus
NT for GP interna
GABA
majority of input to putamen
cerebral cortex
SNc has excitatory or inhibitory effect on direct pathway?
excitatory
where do VA/VL thalamus send majority of axons?
supplementary motor, premotor, motor areas, FEF
what nucleus is most closely related to nucleus accumbens embryonically?
caudate
function of nucleus accumbens/ventral striatum
addictive/reward behaviors
these two efferent pathways form thalamic fasciculus
lenticular fasciculus and ansa lenticularis
SCA is branch of this artery
basilar
NT in substantia nigra
dopamine
