the medulla

Answer 1

responsible for arousal, respiration, heart rate, lots of white matter tracks pass through it like pyramidal and cranial nerves

Question 2

pons

Answer 2

REM, and face movement, main communication with cerebellum,

Question 3

this brain structure has the most neurons in the brain

Answer 3

cerebellum

Question 4

cerebellum

Answer 4

“little brain”, some cognitive functions, fine motor coordination

Question 5

thalamus

Answer 5

bilateral structure, part of the midbrain, relay station; all sensory information passes thru except smell,

Question 6

involved in a sensory feedback loop with the cortex; this may be critical for consciousness

Answer 6

the thalamus

Question 7

all these are part of the limbic system

Answer 7

hippocampus, cingulate gyrus, amygdala, hypothalamus

Question 8

The basal ganglia

Answer 8

globus palladus, caudate and putamen

Question 9

M1

Answer 9

sends signals to muscles(primary motor ctx)

Question 10

SMA

Answer 10

supplementary motor ctx, internally planned/generated movements, rostral to M1

Question 11

PMC

Answer 11

premotor ctx, externally cued movements

Question 12

PPC

Answer 12

posterior parietal ctx, sensory guided movements

Question 13

brodmanns area 17

Answer 13

V1 or primary visual ctx

Question 14

where pathway

Answer 14

v1 travels dorsally to parietal ctx, feedback on HOW to interact with items

Question 15

what pathway

Answer 15

object recognition, ventral stream, v1 to inferotemporal ctx
