- You are recording from neurons in a non-human primate and have noticed that these neurons fire in response to the animal waving its right hand as well as when the animal is watching you wave your right hand. What kind of neurons are they? cerebellar neurons primary motor neurons supplementary motor neurons premotor neurons substantia nigra neuronsarrow_forwardIdentify the location of the cell bodies of lower motor neurons of the lateral corticospinal tract? Ventral horn Dorsal root ganglia Dorsal horn Thalamus Medullaarrow_forwardThe 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…arrow_forward
- Intro to Neuro Question: The location of the synapses of descending cortical input to the cerebellum (the relay station) is the: Group of answer choices cerebral cortex. cerebellar cortex. medulla. pons. superior colliculus Is this correct? The location of the synapses of descending cortical input to the cerebellum, serving as a relay station, is the: pons. Cortical input to the cerebellum is relayed through the pons in the form of pontocerebellar fibers, which synapse in the pontine nuclei. From there, fibers cross over (decussate) and enter the cerebellum.arrow_forwardNeuroscience 1) Describe the role of brainstem nuclei in descending motor control 2) Describe the properties and organization of the primary motor cortex Please provide pictures with your explanation.
