What connects the dentate nucleus to the thalamus?
The pathway that connects the dentate nuclei to the ventro-lateral thalamus is called the dentatothalamic tract. This is contained within the superior cerebellar peduncles.
Second order neurons of both specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate where?
Thalamus.
What are the five nuclear groups of thalamus?
medial groupanterior grouplateral group, subdivided into = dorsal lateral + postero-lateral nucleiventral group, subdivided into = anterior ventral + imtermediate ventral + posterior ventral nucleinon-specific nuclei, which include = intralaminar + reticular + middle line nuclei
What part of the brain serves as a switching station for sensory input?
I believe it is the thalamus.
What receives and transmits all sensory impulses except smell?
Thalamus
What does the posterior nuclei of the thalamus consist of?
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei

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.
Which part of the brain make diencephalon?
The hypothalamus is made up of several small nuclei. There are many different functions of this nuclei including linking the nervous system to the endocrine system.
Which part of the brain is the gateway to the cerebral cortex?
the thalamus
What is the brain's relay station?
the thalamus

What effect does activity of the nuerons in medial septal nuclei have?
The medial septal nuclei are located in the anteroventral cerebrum. They have reciprocal connections to other parts of the limbic system; the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, cingulate gyrus, and thalamus. They are also connected to the midbrain. What we know most about the medial septal nuclei is that they play an important role in reward and reinforcement. So, if the medial septal nuclei where stimulated, the brain would perceive a reward, a pleasurable sensation.
Which part of the brain acts a relay station for incoming sensory information?
cerebellum
What region of the diencephalon filters and refines sensory information allowing us to direct your attention to specific external stimuli?
The thalamus
