neuroanatomy Flashcards
basal ganglia
modify movement- inhibitory
medial geniculate nucleus
auditory nucleus of thalamus
edinger-westphal nucleus
central visual pathway
lateral geniculate nucleus
visual nucleus of thalamus
nucleus of the solitary tract
collects visceral sensory information from vagus - BP and gut distention
reticular formation
brainstem component that collects info from spinal cord- skin temp.
suprachiasmatic nucleus
circadian rhythms, lactation, sexual behaviour, feedind
medial pre-optic nucleus
GnRH nucleus - releases GnRH
supra-optic nucleus
oxytocin and vasopressin

CRH
anterior hypothalamic nucleus
thermoregulation
venteromedial nucleus of hypothalamus
satiety, sexual behaviour
arcuate nucleus
feeding, dopamine release
lateral nucleus of hypothalamus
hunger and thirst- orexigenic
