Question
Chapter 49, Problem 4TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The hippocampus, amygdala, and the sections of thalamus form a ring around the brain known as the limbic system. It is a network of the structures located beneath the cerebral cortex.

Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Name the brain nuclei that make up the basal nuclei (ganglia). (b) What is the basic function of the basal nuclei (ganglia)? (c) Which nucleus arches over the thalamus?
Where are tertiary neurons found? a. extending between the posterior horn and anterior horn b. extending between the posterior horn and the brainstem c. extending between the thalamus and the primary somatosensory cortex d. extending between the primary motor cortex and brainstem
The thoracic spinal cord has the smallest dorsal horn area because:
a.
the trunk is the most innervated area of the body and therefore there are more projections into the dorsal horn there.
b.
the trunk is the least innervated area of the body and therefore there are fewer projections into the dorsal horn there.
c.
most of the descending upper motor neurons have already entered the ventral horn.
d.
There are many motor neurons to control the small muscles around the spine.
