What are the components of the basal ganglia?

Which area of the brain encloses the third ventricle and consists of several important structures, including the thalamus and hypothalamus?

Which structure contains distinct nuclei crucial in the integration of certain types of sensations and their relay to other areas of the brain?

Which part of the brain is involved in the control of diverse body functions including temperature control, appetite, and hormonal release?

What serves as a bridge between the higher areas of the brain (cerebrum and diencephalon) and the brainstem?

Where are the centers responsible for controlling respiration and cardiovascular function located?

What is comprised of a collection of neurons that extend from the reticular substance of the upper spinal cord through the midbrain and the thalamus?

Which structure lies posterior to the brainstem and is separated from it by the fourth ventricle, helping to plan and coordinate motor activity?

What is comprised of several structures dispersed throughout the brain but often considered as a functional unit or system within the CNS?

What is cylindrically shaped and consists of centrally located gray matter surrounded by white matter?

What serves as an area for synaptic connections between various neurons?

What consists of the myelinated axons of neurons, which are grouped into tracts ascending or descending between the brain and specific levels of the cord?

What refers to the unique structure and function of CNS capillaries?

What indicates that a chemical neurotransmitter is used to propagate the nervous impulse across the gap that exists between two neurons?

Which neurotransmitter is found in many areas of the brain as well as in the periphery and plays a critical role in cognition and memory?

What is a group of structurally similar CNS neurotransmitters that include the catecholamines and serotonin?

Which peptides, also known as endogenous opioids, are excitatory transmitters that inhibit painful sensations?

What are the general mechanisms of CNS drugs?

What causes excitation by removing the influence of inhibitory neurons?
