What is the nuclei deep within the cerebral hemisphere white matter are collectively?
basal ganglia
Is the cerebellum and basal nuclei involved in regulating motor activity and coordinating postural movements?
True
What is the difference between nuclei and ganglia?
In the central nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a nucleus.In the peripheral nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a ganglion (plural: ganglia).The one exception to this rule that you may have encountered is the basal ganglia in the brain. Indeed, the basal ganglia technically should be called the basal nuclei, but they were named prior to the terms being defined and the name has stuck.
Which basal nuclei form the lentiform nucleus?

What part of the brain is responsible for hyperactivity?
Basal Ganglia: Core part of the brain located in the cerebrum. The basal ganglia are a collection of nuclei found on both sides of the thalamus, outside and above the limbic system, but below the cingulate gyrus and within the temporal lobes.-webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/basalganglia.html
