short fibers
Term
take info from one lobe to to another (interlobar fibers)

corpus striatum
Term
the gray matter nuclei of the corpus triatum
Definition
1. caudate nucleus, 2. lenticular nucleus, 3. claustrum
Term

Definition
palledum
Term
corresponds to the paleocortex, the "nose brain", important for olefaction

gives instincts to preserve ones self: feed response, fight/flight, mate/repro, thought memory
Term
a series of nuclei located at the ventral lateral wall of the lateral ventricle, reponsible for rage/aggression/sexuality
Definition
amygdala
Term
part of the cerebrum that wraps around the stem, internalized gyrus of the cerebrum, connects to other parts of the brain stem
Definition
hippocampus
Term
what does the hypocampus form?
Definition

controls autonomic function
Term
