Brain: supratentorial central nuclei and tracts

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America
W D Brown

Abstract

This article deals with numerous gray and white matter components of the forebrain, excluding the cerebral cortex. The basal ganglia, amygdalae, and basal forebrain structures are discussed including their groupings and subdivisions, as are the thalami, hypothalamus, and other derivatives of the diencephalon. The white matter structures considered include the capsules, optic and auditory radiations, and bundles ending or arising in the hypothalamus; all the major commissural tracts; and several major long association bundles that may be accurately located even if not discretely visualized.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Basal Forebrain- Circuits

Basal forebrain is a region in the brain important for production of acetylcholine and is the major cholinergic output of the CNS. Discover the latest research on circuits in the basal forebrain here.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
