Cerebrum=• Diencephalon + Telencephalon
4 Major Parts of the Diencephalon:• Epithalamus
• Thalamus
• Hypothalamus
• Subthalamus
Pineal Body:• Attached to roof of 3rd ventricle
• Secretes substances into CSF
• Circadian Rhythms
Habenular Nuclei:• Input from Stria Medullaris
• Projects to Raphe nucleus in brainstem
Stria Medullaris:• Septal Nuclei to habenula
Hypothalamus:• Integrates ANS with Endocrine glands
• Includes mammillary bodies
Subthalamus:• Internal capsule
• Subthalamic nucleus
• Reticular nucleus
• MGN
• LGN
Epithalamus Function:• Linked with Limbic System
• Autonomic/behavioral responses to emotional changes
Thalamus Function:• Sensory/motor relay to cortex
Hypothalamus Function:• Major role in emotion
• Basic functions (hunger, thirst, homeostasis)
Subthalamus Function:• Motor Function
Corpus Striatum=• Caudate + Putamen +Globus Pallidus
Lentiform Nucleus=• Putamen + Globus Pallidus
Basal Ganglia:• Corpus Striatum
• Subthalamic Nucleus
• Substantia Nigra
• Amygdala
• VOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS
Hypokinetic Disorders:• Dysfunction of the basal ganglia
• Akinesia
• Bradykinesia
Hyperkinetic Disorders:• Dyskinesia
Thalamocortical Fibers (corticopetal):• Ascending Fibers from thalamus
Corticofugal Fibers:• Descending fibers from cortex (corticospinals & Corticonuclears)
3 Major Parts of the IC (Internal Capsule):• Anterior Limb
• Genu
• Posterior Limb
2 Parts of the Anterior Limb:• Descending Corticofugal Fibers
• Anterior Thalamic Radiation (ascending/descending fibers connecting Anterior & medial thalamus with prefrontal cortex)
Genu:• Contains Corticonuclear fibers
3 Parts of the Posterior Limb:• Corticopontine/Corticospinal fibers
• Retrolenticular Fibers
• Sublenticular Fibers
Retrolenticular Fibers:
• Form the Optic Radiation which connects the LGN with the visual cortex
Sublenticular fibers:• Form the Auditory Radiation which connects the MGN with the auditory cortex
Lateral Striae Branches of MCA Supplies:
• Anterior limb of IC
• Posterior limb of IC
Internal Carotid Artery Supplies:• Genu
Anterior Choroidal Artery Supplies:
• Retrolenticular Part of Posterior Limb
IC Infarction:• Contralateral Effects
• Sensory & Motor deficits
• Damage to Posterior Limb:
• UMN signs, (hemiplegia/hemiparesis)
• Visual Field Deficits
• Auditory Deficits
