Q

sx of a lesion here?

A

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)

Q

what fibers does this carry

A

internal capsule (posterior limb)

  1. somatic sensory and motor information from each side of the central sulcus.
  2. Further posteriorly visual information passes here on the way to the occipital lobes from the LGN in the visual radiations.
  3. 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
