Describe the location, name and function of gray and white matter in the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. For the cerebrum distinguish between the cortex & basal nuclei and association, commissural & projection tracts

Number the cranial nerves

Differentiate between Cerebrum and Cerebellum.

Which cytoarchitectural component of the cerebellum contains predominately neuronal processes, including parallel fibers and the Purkinje cell dendritic trees? granular layer purkinje cell layer molecular layer

List the primary functions of the limbic system.

Trace the major neuronal pathways to and from the brain. Include the name of the Pathway (or Tract), whether the tract is ascending (sensory) or descending (motor), what it basically does (e.g. type of stimulus) , and where it decussates (i.e. crosses the midline, which not all cross).

what is cerebellar cortex and cells distinguishable in the cerebellum. Please present a picture with labeled parts and discuss the layers.

Name the Major three classes of fiber tracts in the white matter if the cerebrum

Name this white tissue layer separating the cerebrum and cerebellum.

Give the brain region for the functions described. 1. Contains vital centers that regulate heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, vomiting, coughing 2. Smoothes and coordinates skilled skeletal muscle movement; also posture and balance or equilibrium 3. Secretes melatonin that controls the sleep-wake cycle 4. Controls and integrates the autonomic nervous system; regulates hormones, emotional behavior, temperature, eating, and drinking behavior 5. Interprets sensory input, controls skilled skeletal muscle movements, and is involved in emotional and intellectual processes 6. Helps control breathing; conducts impulses to and from the cerebellum, midbrain, and medulla 7. Relays all sensory input to the cerebral cortex; involved in skeletal muscle actions and memory processing 8. Coordinates visual and auditory reflexes 9. Coordinates gross, automatic muscle movements; also involved with the limbic system 10. White fiber tracts communicating between hemispheres
