Medial geniculate nucleus
The medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) or medial geniculate body (MGB) is part of the auditory thalamus and represents the thalamic relay between the inferior colliculus (IC) and the auditory cortex […]
Extreme capsule
The extreme capsule is a long association fiber pathway of white matter in the brain that provides bidirectional communication between such areas as the claustrum and the insular cortex and […]
External capsule
The external capsule is a series of white matter fiber tracts in the brain. These fibers run between the most lateral (toward the side of the head) segment of the […]
Fastigial nucleus
The fastigial nucleus or nucleus fastigii is located in the cerebellum. It is one of the deep cerebellar nuclei (the others being the nucleus dentatus nucleus emboliformis and nucleus globosus) […]
Interposed nucleus
The interposed nucleus is a deep nucleus of the cerebellum and is composed of the globose nuclei and the emboliform nuclei. It is located in the roof (dorsal aspect) of […]
Globose nucleus
The globose nucleus is one of the deep cerebellar nuclei. It is located medial to the emboliform nucleus and lateral to the fastigial nucleus. This nucleus contains primarily large and […]
Dentate nucleus
The dentate nucleus is a cluster of neurons or nerve cells in the central nervous system that has a dentate – tooth-like or serrated – edge. It located within the […]
Inferior cerebellar peduncle
The upper part of the posterior district of the medulla oblongata is occupied by the inferior cerebellar peduncle (restiform body) a thick rope-like strand situated between the lower part of […]
Deep cerebellar nuclei
The cerebellum has four deep cerebellar nuclei embedded in the white matter in its center.
