Brain and Behavior Chapter 3: Anatomy of the Nervous System Part 5
This deck covers key concepts from Chapter 3, Part 5 of Brain and Behavior, focusing on the anatomy of the nervous system. It includes questions about brain lobes, neuron types, the limbic system, basal ganglia, and more.
The lobe at the back of the brain, which serves a visual function, is the

The hippocampus is | Shaped like a sea horse in cross section |
The limbic system and basal ganglia are, for the most part, in the | Telencephalon |
A neural circuit that includes the septum, cingulate cortex, fornix, amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and thalamus is thought to be involved in the regulation of motivated behaviours. This circuit is called the | Limbic system |
A major limbic system tract is the | Fornix |
Which of the following structures is not part of the limbic system? A) Hippocampus B) Septum C) Cerebellum D) Fornix E) Hypothalamus | Cerebellum |
Two parts of the limbic system are cortical structures. These two structures are the | Hippocampus and the cingulate |
The caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus compose the | Basal ganglia |
Together, the caudate and the putamen compose the | Striatum |
