One of the basal ganglia of the forebrain. Together with the putamen, the caudate nucleus is part of the striatum.
one of the two structures that make up the basal ganglia; it is divided into a head, body, and tail and is bounded on one side by the lateral ventricle
(L. having a tail): One of the nuclei belonging to the basal ganglia located lateral to the thalamus. The nucleus consists of an enlarged head that bulges into the lateral wall of the frontal horn of the lateral ventricle, a body adjioning the dorsolateral thalamus and an attenuated tail that extends into the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle within its roof. See neostriatum
a tail-shaped basal ganglion located in a lateral ventricle of the brain
That part of the striate body which lies under the floor of the lateral ventricle, and which curves from an anterior headlike swelling to a posterior narrow taillike termination continuous with the amygdaloid nucleus.
Part of the basal ganglia which are brain cells that lie deep in the brain.
An elongated, arched mass of gray matter that is adjacent to the lateral ventricle of the brain throughout its entire extent and consists of a head, body, and tail. The caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, and putamen compose the corpus striatum, which is located in front of the thalamus.
Part of the "deep gray matter", this group of neurons helps control coordinated limb movements. The caudate is part of the " basal ganglia" and "corpus striatum". image
Part of basal ganglia; damage causes forms of aphasia.
The caudate nucleus is an area of the brain which is a part of several important neural pathways. It helps to control intentional body movements that are normally performed subconsciously, such as the positioning of large body parts (such as the arm) so that other, smaller body parts can be manipulated (such as the fingers and hand).
A brain structure within the basal ganglia; responsible for regulating and organizing information being sent to the frontal lobes from other areas of the brain.
A comma-shaped mass of gray matter forming part of the corpus striatum. It constitutes part of the basal ganglia. SYN:intraventricular nucleus
The caudate nucleus is a telencephalic nucleus located within the basal ganglia in the brain. The caudate, originally thought to primarily be involved with control of voluntary movement, is now known to be an important part of the brain's learning and memory system.
