Localize the following structures: brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus, corpus callosum, frontal cortex, occipital cortex (vision), parietal cortex, temporal lobe

Terms describing anatomical structures A bundle of axons: in the Central Nervous System = TRACT (e.g., ‘optic tract’) in the Peripheral Nervous System = NERVE (e.g., optic nerve) A collection of cell bodies in the Central Nervous System = NUCLEUS (e.g. nucleus accumbens) Gray matter - cell bodies White matter - myelinated axons Gyrus – ridge or protuberance on surface of the brain Sulcus – groove on surface of brain between gyri Fissure – long, deep sulcus

BRAINSTEM HYPOTHALAMUS: 4 F’s(feeding, fighting, fleeing,sex) MIDBRAIN –VENTRAL TEGMENTAL AREA (reward, motivation) –SUBSTANTIA NIGRA (motor function, Parkinson’s Disease) PONS (arousal – reticular formation ), MEDULLA (respiration, heart rate, salivation)

Brain-Mapping Methods 1. Brain scans a.CT and MRI - structural imaging b.fMRI - functional imaging 2. Electrical recording of the nervous system –EEG 3. Magnetic stimulation a.Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
