1 Anatomy of the Central Nervous System: Forebrain Lecture 5

2 Telencephalon - Cortex n Gray Matter l Somas and Dendrites n Neocortex - 6 layers l Sensory input ---> layer IV l Motor output ---> layer V n Paleocortex - 2 or 3 layers ~

3 Telencephalon - Fiber Systems n White Matter - myelinated axons n 3 types of fiber systems l Commissural l Association l Projection ~

4 Commissural Fibers n Interconnect homologous structures in the two hemispheres l Corpus Callosum l Anterior and Posterior l Hippocampal ~

5 Anterior

6 n Association Fibers l interconnect cortical areas within each hemisphere n Projection Fibers all other fiber systems l Fornix l Corticospinal tract l Mammillothalamic tract n Naming convention ~ Association & Projection Fibers

7 Association Commissural Projection Hemispheres Left Right

8 The Limbic System n Emotion n Learning & Memory n Structures l Thalamus l Hypothalamus l Hippocampus l Cingulate gyrus l Amygdala l Fornix ~

9 Amygdala Hippocampus Limbic System Thalamus Hypothalamus Cingulate gyrus Fornix

10 Basal Ganglia n Extrapyramidal Motor System l Caudate l Putamen l Globus Pallidus Striatum Lenticular Nucleus l Claustrum l Amygdala no motor function ~

11 Caudate Amygdala Putamen Globus pallidus

12 Claustrum

13 Diencephalon n Surrounds third ventricle n Thalamus l sensory and motor relay nuclei n Hypothalamus l motivation & emotion ~

14 Thalamus n Lateral Geniculate Nuclei - LGN l vision n Medial Geniculate Nuclei - MGN l audition n Ventroposterior Nuclei - VPL & VPM l somatosensation n Massa Intermedia - crosses midline ~

15 Hypothalamus n Control of behaviors critical to survival l Feeding l Fighting l Fleeing l Mating n Controls the pituitary gland ~

16 Thalamus

17 Diencephalon: thalamus LGN MGN Massa Intermedia

18 Diencephalon Hypothalamus Pituitary Stalk
