Question

Name all six main regions of the brain. Is there a correspondence between specific region and specific function of the cerebral cortex? Do we use only a part during a specific activity? Further elaborate your answer. Briefly discuss various functions of the cerebrum. Briefly discuss the structure of the cerebellum. What are its main functions? What will be the effect of its damage on the motor functions of the brain? Briefly discuss the structure and connections of the basal nuclei. Briefly discuss its role in controlling voluntary movements. Briefly describe the formation and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Briefly discuss the role cerebrospinal fluid in protecting the brain. Briefly describe the blood brain barrier, and discuss its importance. Briefly discuss the anatomy of the reticular formation. What is its role in the functions of brain. Briefly discuss the anatomy of the hypothalamus. Briefly summarize its functions of various nuclei of the hypothalamus. Briefly discuss the anatomy of the limbic system. Why it is a functional grouping not a discrete anatomical grouping? What are its various functions? Describe the vagus nerve and its main functions. What is hemispheric lateralization of the cerebrum? Briefly discuss the functional roles of both hemispheres. What are gyri? Name the parts of the brain forming the brain stem from most caudal to rostral. What are sulci and fissures? What are the ventricies of the brain? Which structure is called the central sulcus? What is the hippocampus? What are pyramidal cells? What is internal capsule? What are Purkinje cells? What is the insula? What are cerebellar nuclei? What is a brain oscillation? Brain oscillations are coherent changes in the membrane potential of neurons create an extracellular current which can be measured by electrical recordings from the brain or scalp (such as by EEG). Give a simple answer as discussed in the class. What is local field potential (LFP)? Local field potential is composed of electric current contributions from all active cellular (neuronal and neuroglial, but mostly neuronal) processes within a volume of brain tissue which superimpose at a given recording location in the extracellular medium to generate an extracellular potential with respect to a reference potential. Give a simple answer discussed in the class. What are cranial nerves?

Explanation / Answer

single sentence question.

1. ridges those are present in the cerebrum or cerebral cortex precisely are termed as gyri

2. its medulla oblongata and spinal cord

3. the sulci are the groves present inside the cerebral hemisphere because of sulci and gyri cerebral surface area is increased

4. ventricle of the brain is a region where cerebrospinal fluid is produced

5. central sulcus is a region of deep fissure in cerebral hemisphere which separates parietal and frontal lobe of hemisphere

short answers

1. the brain comprises of three main parts forebrain, midbrain and a hindbrain, in forebrain there is a part called cerebrum, hypothalamus and thalamus; midbrain shows tegmentum and tectum; hindbrain comprised of  cerebellum,  medulla oblongata, and pons
