PHYS 2b Basal Ganglia Flashcards
bowl of candy scenario. with cerebral and cortex it still isnt complete. you need what?
without it youll end up
a)
b)

voluntary motion- basal ganglia
functions we will focus on? (2)

voluntary motion- basal ganglia
what they do? control what and what? which one more?
how? work by? frequently described as an?

voluntary motion- basal ganglia
the nigrostriatal path:
from? activity? NT? to?

voluntary motion- basal ganglia
nigrostriatal path
start with? goes to?
what are the different pathways?
(receptor for each) excit/inhib?
function?

voluntary motion- basal ganglia
the striatonigral GABA-ergic pathway
axons from? project to?
presynaptic terminal releases? where?
causes? (pathway)

Pars compacta of substantia nigra as the start using D1 receptors. pathway all the way to thalamus. what NT

indirect pathway from stiatum
axons project to? NT?
axons form there travel to? NT?
axons from there travel to? release?
axons from there go to? release?

voluntary motion: basal ganglia
to produce motion we must? (2)

voluntary motion: basal ganglia
to inhibit motion we must?

The intrastriatal cholinergic system
between?
effects?
in particular?

activation of the indirect pathway
to activate what must happen? (2)

voluntary motion
prefrontal cortex
two major areas of function? (whats the functions)

prefrontal cortex
planning of complex motor actions
interacts with? (3)

voluntary motion
planning of complex motor act requires (4)

interactions between _____ ______ and _____ determine IF the motion will occur

once motion is planned sequenced and approved what is activated?

once primary motor cortex columns are activated
action potentials travel down what? and activate what?

what can be a problem with activating the muscles? why?

brain solves muscle spindle problem by?

to make action occur if brain activates alpha- motorneuron it also does what? in what muscle group? (this is called)

to make motion occur what happens in the antagonist muscle?

once the motion has started what is called upon? the makes sure of what?
