Lenticular Nucleus, Lentiform Nucleus

The Lenticular Nucleus, also known as the Lenticular Nucleus or Ribbon Nucleus, is one of two large components of the basal ganglia located deep in the brain. The other component is the nucleus of the Subthalamic region.

The lenticular nucleus is located inside the white matter of the brain, between the thalamus and cerebellum. It consists of two parts: the Track part and the Nuclear part. The pars tract, or zona radiate, consists of fibers that run from the cerebral cortex to other parts of the brain, such as the Cerebral Nucleus and the Red Utilization Nucleus. The nuclear part consists of neurons that process information coming from the pathway part and send it to other parts of the brain.

The lenticular nucleus plays an important role in regulating movement and controlling muscle tone. It is also involved in regulating emotions and learning. Therefore, disturbances in the functioning of the Lenticular Nucleus can lead to various disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and dystonia.

Parkinson's disease is associated with a decrease in the amount of dopamine produced in the Lenticular Nucleus. This leads to impaired coordination of movements and trembling of the limbs. Huntington's disease is associated with damage to neurons in the Lenticular Nucleus and other parts of the brain, leading to impaired muscle tone and coordination. Dystonia is a disorder that causes inappropriate muscle tension, which can lead to poor body posture and tissue damage.

Overall, the Lenticular Nucleus is an important brain structure that plays a key role in regulating movement and emotion. Its disturbances can lead to serious disorders that can greatly affect the patient's quality of life.

The nucleus lenticularis, or lenticular centrifuge, is the main nucleus in the brainstem where various stimuli are perceived and processed by the brain. It plays an important role in coordinating body movements, as well as controlling the functions of internal organs. This nucleus is quite large and occupies a central position in the brain stem. With its help, the brain can process information from various sensory organs such as vision, hearing, smell and taste.

There are several theories explaining the appearance of the lentiform nucleus, the main one is
