Cranial Projection and Association Tracts and Limbic System

Bundles implies long association fibres








Corpus callosum fibres








VA- ventral anterior
VL - ventral lateral




NB Lentiform nucleus = GP + putamen

Tegmentum (Lat- Covering). Forms floor of midbrain cf.
Tectum (Lat- Roof). Forms roof of midbrain.
Stria (Lat- Stripe)
    Fasciculus (Lat- Bundle)
    Tapetum (Lat- Tapestry/rug)
    Habenula (Lat- reins). Denotes stalk of pineal gland and neighbouring neurons.








Resembles a tapestry; the carpet of the brain. Primarily formed by decussating fibres of the splenium.

Simplified:





Deontes a conerstone of memory processing/consolidation





Indusium (tunic/shirt) griseum is membranous layer of grey matter which covers the corpus callosum.
