How is the corpus striatum related to the fibers of the internal capsule?

The internal capsule passes between the diencephalic and the basal ganglia, and through parts of the basal ganglia which is what gives them their striped appearance. The corpus striatum is another term for the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus collectively. The corpus striatum us a part if the basal ganglia. ( islands of grey matter within the white matter if the brain) So pretty much the internal fibers pass through it!

What is the corpus striatum and how is it related to the fibers of the internal capsule?
The corpus striatum is a collection of caudate nuclei and the putamen portion of the lentiform nucleus. The crossing of the internal capsules between the diencephalon and the basal ganglia gives the corpus striatum its stripped appearance, hence its name corpus striatum, or "stripped body." The corpus striatum consists of the basal ganglia and the internal capsule, and it is related to the internal capsule by separating it from the putamin.
What is the corpus striatum?
The term corpus striatum (striated body) has been used to refer to the caudate and lentiform nuclei, or to the caudate nucleus and putamen. The name refers to the striated (striped) appearance of the internal capsule as it passes among these nuclei. The amygdaloid body, part of the limbic system, lies anterior to the tail of the caudate nucleus and inferior to the lentiform nucleus. Martini & Nath, (2009). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology.
The lentiform nucleus the caudate and other nuclei are collectively called the what?
The basal ganglia include the following masses of gray matter in the interior of each cerebral hemisphre: # Caudate nucleus # Lentiform nucleus # Amygdaloid nucleus A structure associated with the basal ganglia is the internal capsule.It is a large mass of white matter located between the caudate and lentiform nuclei and between the lentiform nucleus and thalamus. The caudate nucleus, internal capsule, and lentiform nucleus constitute the corpus striatum, meaning striped body.
What is the corpus striatum composed of?
The caudate nucleus and the putamen.
Do the commissural fibers form the corpus striatum?
False
What special role does the corpus striatum play?
The corpus striatum plays a special role in the formation of memory and habit. This will help in learning new skills and things like facial recognition.
What is the striatum?
The term corpus striatum (striated body) has been used to refer to the caudate and lentiform nuclei, or to the caudate nucleus and putamen. The name refers to the striated (striped) appearance of the internal capsule as it passes among these nuclei. The amygdaloid body, part of the limbic system, lies anterior to the tail of the caudate nucleus and inferior to the lentiform nucleus. Martini & Nath, (2009). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology.
Which parts of corpus striatum are the sensory and the effector?
Effector part = globus pallidusSensory part (or the receptor nuclei) = caudate nucleus + putamen

What are the non capsulated benign tumors and the encapsulated malignant tumors?
Noncapsulated means uncapsulated that means not surrounded by any capsule...and encapsulated means with in the capsule or surrounded by a capsule
How is pallidotomy surgery used to treat Parkinson's Disease?
Pallidotomy uses an electrical current to destroy a small amount of brain tissue in the globus pallidus, which is over-stimulated by the corpus striatum in PD.
