S2: Internal Anatomy of the brain and ventricles Flashcards
what is the roof of this? what forms the floor?
4th ventricle
roof – cerebellum
floor - continuation of the tegmentum into the pons
1
a cavity in these region is caused by what?
anterior horn of lateral ventricle
head of caused by caudate nucleus which lies on the floor of the anterior horn
2
choroid plexus
4
poserior horn of lateral ventricle
6
what causes a hollow on the ventral meidal surface?
inferior (temporal) horn of lateral ventricle
hippocampus

sx of a lesion here?
internal cpasule (posterior limb)
lesions in the posterior limb of the capsule produce dramatic symptoms of sensory loss and paralysis.
the posterior limb carries somatic sensory and motor information from each side of the central sulcus.
(hesclys pyrus sends priojection to mgn from here)
genu of the internal capsule
where does this carry fibers to and from?
internal cpasule (anterior limb)
to and from the frontal lobe
thalamus
what fibers does this carry
internal capsule (posterior limb)
- somatic sensory and motor information from each side of the central sulcus.
- Further posteriorly visual information passes here on the way to the occipital lobes from the LGN in the visual radiations.
- Auditory information to the primary auditory cortex in the superior temporal gyrus from the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN)
4. Most axons descending from the cortex going to the brainstem and spinal cord pass through there
internal capsule (genu)
cadudate nucleus (head)
