NEUROANATOMY
Across
- 3. Thin sheet of subcortical grey matter situated lateral to the putamen and medial to the insula.
- 4. Small lobe of the cerebellum located at the cerebellopontine angle, involved in the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
- 7. Large bundle of nerve fibers forming the prominent lateral portion of the inferior cerebellar peduncle.
- 8. Curved anterior section of the internal capsule located between the anterior and posterior limbs.
- 9. Group of nuclei located in the epithalamus, serving as a critical link between forebrain and midbrain.
Down
- 1. Specific nucleus of the thalamus (VPL) that transmits somatosensory information from the body to the cortex.
- 2. Thin layer of grey matter covering the upper surface of the corpus callosum.
- 4. Deepest and most medial of the four cerebellar nuclei, primarily receiving input from the vermis.
- 5. Pigmented noradrenergic nucleus located in the pons beneath the floor of the fourth ventricle.
- 6. Medullary nucleus containing lower motor neurons that innervate muscles of the larynx and pharynx via cranial nerves IX and X.
