The limbic system is composed of several interconnected structures including the olfactory bulbs, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, subcallosal gyrus, septal nuclei, mammillary bodies, and the thalamus. Pair each of these structures with their function listed below: -This limbic area is active when you are trying to memorize the names of brain areas. It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…
e ATION All of the following are true EXCEPT Select one: a. The middle cerebellar peduncles connect the pons to the cerebellum and carry efferent information from the cerebral cortex and the pontine nuclei into the cerebellum. b. In all cases, damage in one hemisphere of the cerebellum (left or right) affects that same side of the body c. This retention of learned motor skills is called motor memory which is mastermind by the Cerebellum d. The cerebellum has three (3) regions: an outer cortex of gray matter, internal white matter called the arbor vitae ("tree of life"), and deeply situated gray matter called deep cerebellar nuclei. O e. The cerebellum consists of two expanded Cerebellar hemispheres, that are not connected medially by the wormlike vermis. Next page
