Lecture 3- Telencephalon/diencephalon Flashcards
what components make up the telencephalon
cerebral cortex
4 basal nuclei
amygdala
hippocampus
what is neocortex
develops late
6 layers
cerebral cortex
what is allocortex
limbic lobe
less than 6 layers
what is apart of allocortex
paleocortex
archicortex
what is paleocortex
olfactory cortex
amygdala
3-5 layers
what is archicortex
hippocampus
only 3 layers
what are the layers of neocortex
molecular
external granular
external pyramidal
internal granular
internal pyramidal
multiform
what is special about molecular layer of neocortex
almost no neurons
how does motor cortex differ from sensory cortex
motor cortex is thicker and agranular than sensory cortex with thinner and granular
what are pyramidal cells of neocortex
central neurons of neocortex efferent
what are interneurons of neocortex
processing afferent information
what is released as a transmitter in neocortex for excitatory function
glutamate
aspartate
what is released as a transmitter in neocortex for inhibitory function
GABA

3,1,2
what brodmans area correlates to V1
17
what brodmans area correlates to A1
41,42
what brodmans area correlates to brocas area in L hemisphere
44,45
what brodmans area correlates to wernickes area in L hemisphere
22
what is unimodal association cortex
adjacent to primary cortex
location of memory for associated cortex
what is multimodal association cortex
bidirectional communication with sensory and motor association cortex
metacognition and integration
what composes interneurons for columnar communication
cortical interneurons: local
subcortical interneurons: long distance
what composes axonal bundles for columnar communication
vertical and transverse communication
what type of communicating fibers are in layer 1-3
mainly efferent
association: same hemisphere
commissural: between 2 hemisphere
what type of communicating fibers are in layer 4-6
projection fibers
afferent: thalamus to cortex, layer 4
afferent: diffuse subcortical projections
efferent: cortex to subcortical CNS, layer 5-6
what is function of short association fibers
arcuate loops, coordinating adjacent gyri
what is the function of long association fibers
connecting lobes in same hemisphere
what lobes do superior longitudinal fasciculus connect
connects frontal, parietal and occipital
what lobes do arcuate fasciculus connect
frontal and temporal (wernickes and brocas)
what lobes do uncinate fasciculus connect
oribitofrontal and temporal
what gyrus do cingulum connect
cingulate gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus
what commissural fibers mainly connect homologous areas of the two hemispheres
corpus callosum
anterior commissure
posterior commissure
