subcortical

Examples of subcortical in the following topics:

• Cannon–Bard Theory of Emotion

  • According to the Cannon–Bard theory, emotional expression results from activation of the subcortical centers of the brain.

• Motor Areas

  • Buried deep in the white matter of the cerebral cortex are interconnected subcortical masses of cerebral gray matter called basal nuclei (or basal ganglia) that are involved in motor control.

• James–Lange Theory of Emotion

  • The Cannon-Bard theory states that emotional expression results from action of the subcortical centers.

• Thalamus

  • It is generally believed to act as a relay between a variety of subcortical areas and the cerebral cortex.

• Functions of the Diencephalon

  • The thalamus is a kind of switchboard of information, believed to act as a relay between a variety of subcortical areas and the cerebral cortex.

• Sensory Areas

  • The cerebral cortex is connected to various subcortical structures such as the thalamus and the basal ganglia.

• Disorders of the Basal Ganglia

  • The basal ganglia can be modeled as a group of components of parallel, reentrant cortico-subcortical circuits, which originate in cortical areas, traverse the basal ganglia, and terminate in specific areas in the frontal lobe.

• Neurocognitive Disorders

  • Alzheimer's disease is characterised by loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions.

• The Brain

  • It likely acts as a relay between a variety of subcortical areas and the cerebral cortex.

• Overview of the Cerebrum

  • The cerebrum contains the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres), as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb.
