• understanding written and spoken language

Which of the following are parts of the limbic association area?

• cingulate gyrus

• hipoocampus

• thalamus

• parahippocampus gyrus

Cerebral white matter is responsible for communication between cerebral areas and between cerebral areas and spinal cord and lower CNS centers.  Which of the following make up the cerebral white matter?

• association fibers

• epithalamus

• commissural fibers

• projection fibers

What are the basal nuclei that are present in the cerebral hemispheres (telencephalon)?
