Which nuclei are part of the basal ganglia? A) Caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra B) Cerebellum, thalamus, inferior colliculus, vestibular nuclei C) Midbrain, cortex, red nucleus, substantia gelatinosum D) Hippocampus, amygdala, basal forebrain, dorsomedial nucleus
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific nuclei that make up the basal ganglia. We need to identify which option correctly lists these structures.
Answer
Caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra
The correct answer is the nuclei part of the basal ganglia include the caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra.
Answer for screen readers
The correct answer is the nuclei part of the basal ganglia include the caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra.
More Information
The basal ganglia are a group of nuclei in the brain involved in movement control. They help regulate voluntary motor actions and are associated with habit formation and learning.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the basal ganglia with structures involved in other brain functions, such as the hippocampus which is part of the limbic system related to memory.
