Neuroanatomy

Question 1

limbic association cortex

Answer 1

parahippocampal gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, temporal pole

Question 2

hippocampal formation

Answer 2

learning, memory consolidation: entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, dentate, subiculum

Question 3

amygdala

Answer 3

behavioral expression of emotion: basolateral nuclei, corticomedial nuclei, central nuclei

Question 4

basal forebrain

Answer 4

cholinergic neurons

Question 5

limbic circuit (Papez)

Answer 5

cingulate gyrus –> hippocampal formation —> via fornix –> mammillary bodies–> via mammilothalamic tract –> anterior nucleus –> cingulate gyrus

Question 6

amygdala pathways

Answer 6

stria terminalis (caudal amygdala –> hypothalamus); ventral amygdalofugal (medial amygdala –> MD nucleus)

Question 7

basolateral nuclei

Answer 7

emotion

Question 8

corticomedial nuclei

Answer 8

neuroendocrine, emotion

Question 9

central nuclei

Answer 9

autonomic nervous system, neuroendocrine

Question 10

limbic loop of the basal ganglion

Answer 10

cortex –> nucleus accumbens/ventral striatum –> ventral pallidum –> MD nucleus –> anterior cingulate

Question 11

frontal cortex

Answer 11

behavioral planning, working memory, response inhibition, affective processing, expressive language

Question 12

parietal cortex

Answer 12

attention, spatial location, body image, transfer of sensory info to motor system

Question 13

temporal cortex

Answer 13

declarative memory, emotional processing, receptive language
