The ____ and ____ are both found deep within fissures of the cerebral cortex. These two regions form a network with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Although they are also involved in other important functions, many modern imaging studies show that they activate simultaneously during the conscious experience of emotional feelings. A) anterior cingulate cortex; anterior insular cortex B) thalamus; hippocampus C) caudate nucleus; globus pallidus D) substancia nigra; ventra tegmental area
the part of the brain that links the nervous to the endocrine system is the________________ Spinocerebellar tracts which carry proprioceptive inputs to the cerebellum do not decussate. True or false which organ in the brain forms the cerebrospinal fluid?
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei2) to learn about the basal nuclei (also knownas the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. As shown in this video,the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through thesystem that results in decreased activity in the cerebralcortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirectpathway has an extra couple of connections in it, includingdisinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus. What is the endresult on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiatedby the cerebral cortex?
Which of the following structures is NOT part of the basal ganglia? A. PutamenB. HippocampusC. Globus pallidusD. Caudate nucleusE. Subthalamic nucleus
Which of the following describes the disinhibition in the direct pathway of the basal ganglia? Question 6 options: A) Subthalamic nucleus inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits substantia nigra B) Substantia nigra inhibits striatum which disinhibits the subthalamic nucleus C) Striatum inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamus D) Striatum inhibits external segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamus

The striatum has an (excitatory/inhibitory) connection to the globus pallidus external. Activation of that connection (increases/decreases) activity in the globus pallidus internal, ultimately (promoting/suppressing) movement.Group of answer choicesExcitatory, increases, promotingExcitatory, increases, suppressingInhibitory, decreases, promotingInhibitory, decreases, suppressingInhibitory, increases, suppressing Is my reasoning correct? basal ganglia circuitry: The striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) sends inhibitory projections to the globus pallidus externus (GPe). Therefore, the connection between the striatum and GPe is inhibitory. The GPe sends inhibitory projections to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The STN sends excitatory projections to the globus pallidus internus (GPi). The GPi, in turn, sends inhibitory projections to the thalamus. When the striatum activates its connection to the GPe (due to receiving excitatory input from the cortex), it inhibits the GPe.…
