Caudate nucleus

The anatomy of the caudate nucleus.

The human nervous system is the series of cells and nerve tracts that conduct stimuli from sensory receptors in the periphery to receptors in the brain and spinal cord and then conduct impulses back to other body parts.

A recently developed anatomical model describes how the intensity of reward-seeking and misery-fleeing behaviours is regulated. The first type of behaviours is regulated within an extrapyramidal cortical–subcortical circuit containing as first relay stations, the caudate nucleus, putamen and core of the accumbens nucleus. The second type of behaviours is controlled by a limbic cortical–subcortical circuit with as first stations, the centromedial amygdala, extended amygdala, bed nucleus of…

Where is the striatum?

The putamen (plural: putamina) is a paired structure and one of the nuclei that make up the basal ganglia. Together with the caudate nucleus, it may be referred to as the corpus striatum.Gross...
