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 MethodsBrain-Mapping Methods

1. Brain scans a. CT and MRI - structural imagingb. fMRI - functional imaging

2. Electrical recording of the nervous system– EEG

3. Magnetic stimulation a. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

VENTRICLES - Two lateral, a third and a fourth ventricle, central canal - filled with cerebrospinal fluid
