White Matter Of Cerebrum Flashcards
White matter broadly divided into
- Association Fibres
- Commissural Fibres
- Projection Fibres
Association Fibres connect
Connects Different areas within the same hemisphere
Commissural fibres connects
Identical areas of opposite side
Projection fibres connects
Cortical areas to Subcortical Structures
List Long association fibres
A. Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus
B. Inferior Longitudinal Fasciculus
C. Cingulum
D. Uncinate Fasciculum
E. Fornix
Fornix receives afferent from
Hippocampus
List Commissural fibres
A. Anterior Commissure
B. Posterior Commissure
C. Habenular Commissure
D. Corpus Callosum
E. Fornix
The first commissural fibre to form
Is Anterior commissure > Fornix > Corpus Callosum
Rostrum connects
Orbital Surface of Frontal Gyrus
Genu of the Corpus Callosum connects the
Frontal gyrus of two sides
Body of Corpus Callosum connects
Parietal Gyrus/lobes of two sides
Splenium of Corpus Callosum connects
Occipital lobes of two sides
Fibres arising from Genu of Corpus Callosum is sweeping forward into the Frontal Lobe and Forms
Forceps Minor
Fibres arising from Splenium of Corpus Callosum is sweeping forward into the Occipital Lobe and Forms
Forceps Major
What are Tapetum Fibres
Fibres arising from Body and part of Splenium of Corpus Callosum
