Lactation
Regualation of stress hormones
Regulation of growth hormones
Reproduction

What are the four basic functions (the four Fs) of the Limbic System? (numerous answers)
Fighting
Fleeing
Fucking
Feeding
Flatulation
Foraging
The Limbic System's job is to processes salient affective information (emotional information).
True
False
What structures of the Basal Ganglia are responsible for voluntary spontanious movement? (numerous answers)
Caudate
Putamen
Nucleaus Accumbens
Globus paladus
Thalamus
Amygdala
What structures make up the Striatum? (numerous answers)
Thalamus
Putamen
Head of the caudate

Parkinson's disease is associated with the degeneration of the pathway between the substantia nigra and the Striatum.
True
False
What are the fissures in the Telencephalon called?
Sulci
Gyri
The 'mountains' seen on the cerebral cortex are referred to as Sulci.
True
False
The 'mountains' on the cerebral cortex are referred to as gyri.
The 'mountains' on the cerebral cortex are referred to as gyri.
What are the three landmarks of the Cerebral cortex?
Longitudinal fissure
Central fissure
Lateral fissure
Precentral gyrus
Postcentral gyrus
What are the two main cell types in the neocortex?
Pyramidal cells
Stellate cells
Glial cells
Oligodendrocytes
The neocortex consists of 6 layers. Each layer differs in the relative concentration of stellate and pyramidal cells. Each layer interconnects with each other so that there is a vertical flow of information via the long axons, this is the basis of columnar organisation.
