These days I was studying a chapter from the book 'Somatosensory systems' written by Albe-Fessard and Besson. I loved how the thalamus and its nuclei were depicted, so here you can see my take on the schematic representation of the right thalamus.

•functional areas of the cortex
Ever wondered what different areas of cortex are for? In today's post I will show you how we can divide cortical areas by their main functions.

•neuronal cell types

in my last post, I told you that pyramidal cells are not the only type of neurons. For this tweet I drew main neuronal cell types.

Cerebral ventricles
Ventricles are basically four cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), transparent liquid created mainly by choroid plexi. Each day our body produces 600 ml of CSF, how cool is that?? This system keeps our brain safe and nurtured.#neuroanatomypills

•cerebral cortex
Covers the entire surface of the brain. It is divided in 4 lobes (in colours) and it is covered in ridges (gyri) and fissures (sulci). These funny looking gyri are actually there to increse the surface area of the brain up to 20 meters squared!#cortex #brain

• basal ganglia & related structures
A group of subcortical nuclei important for many brain functions such as movement, learning, cognition & emotion
