Are the limbic and subcortical regions of the brain the same?
'Subcortical structures' are areas of the brain below the cortex, which is the outermost layer (i.e., the grey matter). The limbic system is one example of a subcortical structure - although technically it isn't just one structure. The limbic system actually consists of a number of key areas related to sensory integration, learning, memory, emotionality, and decision-making. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system
Function of white matter in the brain?
The white matter is the area of the brain where signals travel to other parts of the brain. It is located in the subcortical area.
Few small ill defined irregular t2 flair hyperintensities subcortical white matter of bilateral frontal lobes ischemic demyelination is likely?
What treatment to be given in this case
What are groups of neurons send connections from the cortex deep into the brain?
These are called 'projection neurons'. The cell body in the cortex will have a long axonal projection that courses down into a subcortical region, and vice versa.
What is an orbital injury?
In medical terms, that would refer to an injury to the eye socket.
What is the meaning of the word subcortical?
The term subcortical refers to structures or processes that lie beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. These subcortical structures are involved in functions such as regulating emotions, motor control, and processing sensory information.
What is a subcortical cyst?
A subcortical cyst is a type of cyst that develops on the skeletal frame in the body. Depending on the location, they can be benign, but they can also early indicators of some diseases.
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 are the Functions of subcortical region of brain?
Cortical is a word referring to the cortex, so the subcortical region of the brain is literally 'anything beneath the cortex'; but, since the brain isn't arranged in flat layers, it may be easier to visualise this analogy: If you picture the brain as being half an orange, the outer skin (the zest) would equate to the grey matter of cerebral cortex, & the inner skin (the pith) to the white matter; everything else (the pulp & the pips of the orange) represents the subcortical structures, which include various ventricles & nuclei, the thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, & the parts that make up the brainstem. Subcortical pathways enable fast, unconscious reactions; so a reflex is a subcortical action.
What does low density area in subcortical white matter of left posterior parietal lobe mean?
ms
What does it mean when they find a Lesion seen within subcortical white matter tracts of the posterior left frontal lobe?
Subcortical white matter lesions may be associated with cardiovascular disease. They may also be associated with multiple sclerosis, if the patient has other MS signs and symptoms.
When did Julie Ryles die?
Julie Ryles died in 27 January 2011 of progressive subcortical gliosis.
WHAT model of dreaming proposes that dreams are side-effects of neural activity in subcortical areas of the brain?
activation-synthesis model
Function of white matter in the brain?
The white matter is the area of the brain where signals travel to other parts of the brain. It is located in the subcortical area.
Can epileptic seizures be found in the subcortical of the brian?

What is an operation on a thalamic bleed?
This involves a neurosurgical operation in which a subcortical structure of the brain known as the thalamus has a bleeding vessel needing to be cauterized or tied off.
