Question 14

what are the 5 glutamate pathways

Answer 14

Cortial brainstem
Corticostriatal
Thalamocortical
Corticothalamic
Cortico-cortical

Question 15

Which 2 pathways work together

Answer 15

corticostriatal and thalamocortical - normally filter info going to the thalamus and therefore cortex

Question 16

where does corticostriatal terminate

Answer 16

nucleus accumbens and striatum – onto GABA neurons which go to the thalamus

Question 17

Which glutamate pathway works with the mesolimbic and mesocortical and how

Answer 17

cortical brainstem

normally inhibits mesolimbic and accels mesocortical
