Definition that contains neural structure
- hippocampus a complex neural structure (shaped like a sea horse) consisting of grey matter and located on the floor of each lateral ventricle; intimately involved in motivation and emotion as part of the limbic system; has a central role in the formation of memories
- amygdala an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behavior
- ganglion an encapsulated neural structure consisting of a collection of cell bodies or neurons
- medial geniculate a neural structure that serves as the last of a series of processing centers along the auditory pathway from the cochlea to the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex
- piriform lobe pear-shaped neural structure on either side of the brain in the rhinencephalon
- corpus amygdaloideum an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behavior
- lateral geniculate body a neural structure that serves as a processing station on the way from the retina to the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex
- medial geniculate body a neural structure that serves as the last of a series of processing centers along the auditory pathway from the cochlea to the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex
- pyriform area pear-shaped neural structure on either side of the brain in the rhinencephalon
- corpus geniculatum laterale a neural structure that serves as a processing station on the way from the retina to the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex
