Red outline--septal nuclei

Orange outline--Caudate/putamen

Green outline--anterior commissure

Sample slide questions:

1) The neurons in the yellow region produce what neurotransmitter? To where do they project? What is the name of the pathway?

Identify the following: corpus callosum, thalamus, mammillary bodies, hippocampus (CA1-CA2, CA3-CA4, and dentate gyrus), cerebral peduncle, substantia nigra, lateral ventricles, third ventricle.

Red outline--basal forebrain (including septal nuclei)

Pink outline--hippocampus

Sample slide questions:

1) Name two functions for the region outlined in light blue.
2) What types of information are processed in the region outlined in yellow?
3) Why is the orange area relatively smaller (with respect to the rest of the brain) in rats than it is in humans?
