limbic sys functions
est. emotional states, links conscious funct of cerebral cortex w autonomic funct of brain stem, fascilitates memory storage and retrieval
amygdaloid body
acts as interface between the limbic sys, cerebrum, and various sensory sys.
limbic lobe structures
cingulate gyrus, dentate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, hippocampus
fornix
tract of white matter in limbic sys that connects hippocampus with hypothalamus
reticular formation
part of limbic sys; stim or inhibition affects emotions (rage, fear, pain, sexual arousal, pleasure)
central sulcus
divides anterior frontal lobe from posterior parietal lobe
lateral sulcus
divides frontal lobe from temporal lobe
parieto-occipital sulcus
divides parietal lobe from occipital lobe
3 funct principals of the cerebrum
association fibers
connections within one hemi
commissural fibers
bands of fibers connecting 2 hemi
projection fibers
connect cerebrum w lower areas
arcuate fibers
association fibers that are short and connect 1 gyrus to another
longitudinal fasciculi
association fibers w longer bundles that connect frontal lobe to other lobes in same area
