 Limbic
lobe and limbic system:
 Limbic lobe: composed of cingulate gyrus,
parahippocampal gyrus and uncus.
 Limbic system: comprises of limbic lobe and relative cortex
and other structures of brain (hippocampal
formation, part of amygdaloid nucleus,
hypothalamus and anterior nucleus of
thalamus)
 Internal structures:
 Gray matter
 White matter
 Lateral ventricle
 Gray matter:
 Cortex:
Functional localizations of cerebral cortex
— somatic motor area: in precentral gyrus and anterior part
of paracentral lobule; mainly control skeleton muscles on
the opposite side of body.
— somatic sensory area: in the postcentral gyrus and
posterior part of paracentral lobule; receive the sensory
signals from skin, proprioceptors and taste receptors on
the opposite side of body.
First
somatic
motor
area
Characters
• Representation is inverted,
but head and face are
upright
• A body part is represented
by a cortical area
proportional to its use
rather than its size
• Receiving fibers from
postcentral gyrus, VA, VL and
VPL, sending out fibers to form
pyramidal tract, controlling
voluntary movements
First somatic sensory area
Characters
• Sensory
representation, like
motor area, is crossed
and inverted
• Receiving and
interpret sensation
from opposite side of
body
— visual area (striate area): surrounds the calcarine sulcus ;
receive the data from the temporal half of ipsilateral
retina and nasal half of the contralateral retina.
— auditory area (acoustic area): in the transverse temporal
gyri; efferent fibers of medial geniculate nucleus of
bilateral side end in this area.
— visceral moter area: in the limbic lobe.
— The language areas:
1. Writing area—posterior part of middle frontal gyrus.
2. Motor speech area— posterior part of inferior frontal gyrus.
3. Auditory language area posterior part superior temporal gyrus
4. Visual language area -angular gyrus
 basal ganglion :
 Corpus striatum:
Caudate nucleus:
“C” – shaped
head, body and tail of caudate nucleus
Lentiform nucleus:
Claustrum:
between the lentiform nucleus and insula.
 Amygdaloid body:
holds the amygdaloid nucleus and lies at the end
of tail of caudate nucleus.
 White matter: 3 kinds of fibers
 Association fibers:
— connect cortical areas in same hemisphere.
— Superior longitudinal fasciculus
— Inferior longitudinal fasciculus
— Cingulum
—Uncinate fasciculus
— Arcuate fibers
 Commissural fibers: — Corpus callosum
* at the bottom of longitudinal cerebral fissure
* 4 parts : rostrum, genu, trunk and splenium
— anterior commissure
— commissure of fornix:
 Projection fibers:
— connect the cortex and subcortical structures
— internal capsule:
* a plate of white matter
* position:
medially to the lentiform nucleus;
laterally to the caudate nucleus and
thalamus.
* “X” – shaped in the horizontal section
* 3 parts: anterior limb; posterior limb and genu.
* projection fibers passing through each part of the
internal capsule:
anterior limb—frontopontine tract;
anterior thalamic radiation
genu—corticonuclear tract
posterior limb—corticospinal tract
thalamocortical tract
parieto-occipito-temporo-pontine tract

 Lateral ventricles:
 “C”- shaped cavity in each cerebral hemisphere.
 filled with cerebrospinal fluid
 4 parts:
— anterior horn (in frontal lobe)
— central part (in parietal lobe )
— posterior horn (in occipital lobe)
— inferior horn (in temporal lobe)
 communicated with the third ventricle
through the interventricular foramen.
