NA11- Basal Ganglia

The basal ganglia continuously send feedback to the cortex to ensure the correct sequence of movements is being performed.

The basal ganglia verify if the ongoing motor act matches the stored pattern for that specific act.

The basal ganglia only receive input from the cerebral cortex during motor act execution.

Information from the basal ganglia can modify the motor final common pathway, even before the activation of motoneurons.

The basal ganglia can't influence movements that are not stored in the memory.

The basal ganglia receive information from the motor and sensory cortex, but not from other brain nuclei.

The basal ganglia exclusively control the activation of motoneurons in the spinal cord.

The information delivered to the basal ganglia is solely used to confirm the accuracy of the performed movement.

The basal ganglia only play a role in motor control, not in other cognitive functions.

The influence of the basal ganglia on the motor act is limited to the initial stages of the movement.

The dento-thalamo-cortical tract is primarily formed by the feedback from the cerebellum to the spinal cord.

The retrolentiform limb of the internal capsule primarily carries the acoustic ascending pathways.

Arnold's bundle passes through the posterior limb of the internal capsule to correlate with the temporal lobe.

The corticospinal tract is located in the genu of the internal capsule.

Fibres correlating to the parietal lobe travel through the anterior limb of the internal capsule.

The claustrum is located medial to the putamen.

The amygdala is connected to the tail of the caudate nucleus and the fornix.

The lentiform nucleus is positioned posterior to the thalamus in an anteroposterior orientation.

The external capsule is thicker than the extreme capsule.

The insular lobe is completely visible due to its superficial location.

The claustrum has no known anatomical relationships with surrounding structures.

The tail of the caudate turns inferiorly around the lentiform nucleus.

The internal capsule has a longer anterior limb compared to the posterior limb.

The genu of the internal capsule is located between the head of the caudate and the anterior portion of the thalamus.

The optic radiation is contained within the anterior limb of the internal capsule.

The amygdala has a corticomedial region that is primarily connected to the olfactory bulb.

The ventrolateral region of the amygdala is associated exclusively with memory functions.

The limbic system has no role in the processing of unconscious information.

The retrolentiform limb of the internal capsule emerges from the anterior aspect of the thalamus.

The thalamus participates in the regulation of emotional status within the limbic system.

The caudate nucleus is entirely visible in a horizontal section viewed from a superior perspective.

The subthalamus does not send any information back to the corpus striatum.

The main efferent fibres from the substantia nigra project to the thalamus to communicate with the spinal cord.

The corpus striatum receives input primarily from sensory areas of the cortex.

Pallidofugal fibres originate from the globus pallidus internus.

The uncertain zone is a definitive region of the brain with well-understood functions.

The ventral anterior (VA) and ventrolateral (VL) are specific nuclei involved in thalamic projections.

Serotonin pathways play no role in the integration of information at the level of the thalamus.

Information from the brainstem is integrated at the corpus striatum level.

The Ansa reticularis is formed by fibres passing superiorly to the subthalamus.

The thalamus and cortex communication is facilitated solely through nonspecific nuclei.
