Neuroscience Week 3: Basal Ganglia Flashcards
1
Q
Which basal ganglia structure lies along the lateral wall of the lateral ventricle?
A
The Caudate nucleus
2
Q
Which basal ganglia structure lies medial to the lateral medullary lamina?
A
The globus pallidus
3
Q
Which basal ganglia structure lies lateral to the lateral medullary lamina?
A
The Putamen
4
Q
Which basal ganglia structure connects the caudate and putamen?
A
The nucleus accumbens
- which is the bridge that persists between the head of the caudate and putamen after the anterior limb of the internal capsule separates the head of the caudate from the putamen.
- It is important in rewarding behavior.

Q
Which of the following separates the putamen and the globus pallidus?
A
Lateral Medullary lamina
The lateral medullary lamina separates the putamen and globus pallidus.
6
Q
Which of the following lies in between the putamen and the claustrum?
A
External capsule
The external capsule lies in between the putamen and the claustrum.
