Flashcards

Cerebrum Function

Conscious perception of senses, thoughts, and reasoning, and initiation of conscious movement.

Cerebral Cortex

The outer layer of the cerebrum, made of grey matter (neuron cell bodies), containing sensory, motor, and association areas.

White Matter Function

Carries nerve signals between brainstem (thalamus) and cerebrum, conveying sensory information (excluding smell) to the cortex.

Basal Nuclei (Ganglia)

Clusters of neurons deep within the cerebrum and brainstem, involved in regulating movement, balance, and posture.
