Fibers that connect the cerebral cortex and the cerebellum would be called projection fibers?
There's no question here.
What happens when you have 2 cerebral cortex?
You actually have two as the brain is divided into two hemispheres each covered by a cortex and connected by nerve fibers in the corpus callosum.
What is the inner core of the brain composed of?
There are many parts of the cerebrum including layers of tissue. The outer layer is called the cerebral cortex and another layer called Dura mater.
What is corpus callosum?
The corpus callosum is a structure in the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres, allowing communication between the two sides. It plays a crucial role in integrating information and coordinating functions between the two hemispheres. Damage to the corpus callosum can lead to disruptions in communication between the hemispheres.
What is the differences between commissures association fibers and projection fibers?
Association fibers connect different portions of cerebral hemisphere allowing cerebral cortex to function as a integrated whole whereas projection fibers connect cerebral hemispheres to other portions of brain n spinal cord
What is the difference between the two types of projection fibers?
Ascending fibres = from thalamus to cerebral cortexDescending fibres = from cerebral cortex to lower centres
What is the internal capsule?
The internal capsule is the major structure carrying ascending and descending nerve projection fibers to and from the cerebral cortex
Are stria terminalis considered as projection fibers?
Projection fibers are usually considered as those fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to subcortical structures and vice versa. The stria terminalis connects the amygdala to the hypothalamus - i.e., two subcortical structures. So, on this basis they are not projection fibers. But because they connect subcortical structures they are referred to as 'association fibers'.
What consists if the fibers that surround the medulla.?
cortex
What structure physically connects cerebral hemisphere?
Corpus callosum are the band of fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. The two cerebral hemispheres are intimately connected to each others. There is a incomplete partition in between them. It is called as falx cerebri. It is there to support the brain tissue from damage by sudden movement. You tend to call them 'two' hemispheres just because they looks two to you.
Synapse site for afferent fibers to sensory cortex?
Thalamus
What is cerebral peduncle?
A cerebral peduncle are fibers that are bundled together that contain pyramidal cells. The cells are found in all parts of the cerebral isocortex
