Which of the following is NOT one of the basal nuclei?
A

C

D
globus pallidum
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the term 'basal nuclei'. Basal nuclei, also known as basal ganglia, are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain primarily involved in motor control and learning.
Identify the components that are typically classified as basal nuclei. The main structures include the caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus.
Examine each option provided in the problem: corpus callosum, putamen, caudate nucleus, and globus pallidum.
Recognize that the corpus callosum is not part of the basal nuclei. It is a large bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres, facilitating interhemispheric communication.
Conclude that the corpus callosum is the correct answer to the question, as it is not one of the basal nuclei.
