Answer 1

carries fine touch, vibration, and proprioception from medulla to thalamus

2nd order neuron of DCML

located in upper and lower midbrain, pons

Question 2

lateral lemniscus

Answer 2

carries auditory info from cochlea nuclei to inferior colliculus

located in lower midbrain and pons

Question 3

medial geniculate

Answer 3

auditory processing: the principal relay nucleus for the auditory system between the inferior colliculus and auditory cortex

Question 4

lateral geniculate

Answer 4

visual processing

Question 5

fornix

Answer 5

memory and emotion processing

Question 6

infundibular stalk

Answer 6

connects hypothalamus to posterior pituitary

Question 7

putamen

Answer 7

regulates movement by inhibiting (GABA) the GPi/GPe

Question 8

globus pallidus externus

Answer 8

prevents unwanted movement by inhibiting (GABA) subthalamic nucleus in NO-GO pathway

Question 9

globus pallidus internus

Answer 9

goal directed behavior and regulates movement by inhibiting (GABA) motor thalamus

Question 10

head of caudate

Answer 10

Goal oriented and social behavior loop

Question 11

body of caudate

Answer 11

oculomotor loop - eye movement
