Front 2

What structures comprise the Limbic System?

Back 2

Cingulate Gyrus
Amygdala
Hippocampus
Some of hypothalamus and thalamus

Front 3

What are the functions of the cerebellum? What do lesions result in?

Back 3

Fn: fine tuning (precision, coordination, timing) of movmt

Lesion results in disorders of coordinated movmt, equilibrium, posture, motor learning

ATAXIA! irregular uncoordinated movement (either trunk or limbs)

Front 4

List the three cerebellar peduncles and what they connect.

Back 4

Superior: Midbrain
Middle: Pons
Inferior: Medulla

Front 5

Back 5

Proprioceptive and vestibular information

Front 6

What side of the body does each lobe of the cerebellum control?

Back 6

Same side

Front 7

List the four ventricular systems and their associated divisions of the CNS.

Back 7

Lateral: Telencephalon
Third Ventricle: Diencephalon
