What is the gray matter on the surface of the brain called?
Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
What is the nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively?
basal ganglia
Increased production of acetylcholine by neurons in cerebral nuclei would result in what?
Spastic, uncontrollable muscle contractions
What is nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively called?
basal ganglia
What is a basal ganglion?
A basal ganglion is any of a group of nuclei in the brain interconnected with the cerebral cortex, the thalamus and the brainstem.
What level of the central nervous system plays a role in influencing the autonomic nervous system?
cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brainstem and basal nuclei
What leniform nucleus alon with the caudate nuclei are collectively?
The lentiform nucleus along with the caudate nuclei are collectively known as the basal ganglia. The basal ganglia is located deep inside the cerebral cortex and controls some motor functions.
What are extra-pyramidal centers?
premotor area of cerebral cortex (area 6)corpus striatum (caudate & lentiform nuclei)subthalamic nucleus (in subthalamus)red nucleus (in midbrain)substantia nigra (in midbrain)inferior olivary nucleus (in medulla)nuclei of reticular formation (in brainstem)
What part of the brain processes inputs received from the cerebral motor cortex brain stem nuclei and various sensory receptors and then uses this information to coordinate somatic motor output?
pariatal lobe
Is thalamic nuclei gray or white matter?
All of the cerebral cortex is gray matter as it composed of neuronal cell bodies which are not insulated with myelin.
How many categories of cerebral hypoxia are there?
There are four categories of cerebral hypoxia; in order of severity they are: diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH), focal cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and global cerebral ischemia.
Where can articles be found on cerebral palsy?
Articles on cerebral palsy can be found at the website of an organization that is devoted to researching cerebral palsy. Some such organizations are United Cerebral Palsy and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
