Basal ganglia
The caudate nucleus
• is a pear-shaped, highly arched gray
mass;
• its broad extremity, or head, is
directed forward into the anterior
cornu of the lateral ventricle, and is
continuous with the anterior
perforated substance and with the
anterior end of the lentiform
nucleus;
• its narrow end, or tail, is directed
backward on the lateral side of the
thalamus, from which it is separated
by the stria terminalis and the
terminal vein.
• It is then continued downward into
the roof of the inferior cornu, and
ends in the putamen near the apex
of the temporal lobe.
The caudate nucleus
• It is separated from the
lentiform nucleus, in the
greater part of its extent,
by a thick lamina of white
substance, called the
internal capsule
The lentiform nucleus
• is lateral to the caudate nucleus
and thalamus, and is seen only in
sections of the hemisphere.
• When divided horizontally, it
exhibits, to some extent, the
appearance of a biconvex lens
while a coronal section of its
central part presents a somewhat
triangular outline.
• It is shorter than the caudate
nucleus and does not extend as
far forward.
• It is bounded laterally by a lamina
of white substance called the
external capsule, and lateral to
this is a thin layer of gray
substance termed the claustrum.
• Its anterior end is continuous
with the lower part of the
head of the caudate nucleus
and with the anterior
perforated substance.
• In a coronal section through
the middle of the lentiform
nucleus, two medullary
laminæ are seen dividing it
into three parts.
• The lateral and largest part is
of a reddish color, and is
known as the putamen, while
the medial and intermediate
are of a yellowish tint, and
together constitute the
globus pallidus;
• all three are marked by fine
radiating white fibers, which
are most distinct in the
putamen.
• The gray substance of
the corpus striatum is
traversed by nerve fibers,
some of which originate
in it.
• The caudate and
lentiform nuclei are not
only directly continuous
with each other
anteriorly, but are
connected to each other
by numerous fibers.
The claustrum
• is a thin layer of gray
substance, situated on the
lateral surface of the external
capsule.
• Its transverse section is
triangular, with the apex
directed upward.
• Its medial surface, contiguous
to the external capsule, is
smooth, but its lateral surface
presents ridges and furrows
corresponding with the gyri
and sulci of the insula, with
which it is in close
relationship.
• The claustrum is regarded as
a detached portion of the
gray substance of the insula,
from which it is separated by
a layer of white fibers, the
capsula extrema (band of
Baillarger).
The nucleus amygdalæ
• is an ovoid gray mass, situated at the lower
end of the roof of the inferior cornu.
• It is merely a localized thickening of the gray
cortex, continuous with that of the uncus; in
front it is continuous with the putamen,
behind with the stria terminalis and the tail of
the caudate nucleus.
