  Caudate nucleus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The caudate nucleus is a telencephalic nucleus, one of the input nuclei of the basal ganglia involved with control of voluntary movement in the brain.
The head and body of the caudate nucleus form the part of the floor of the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle.
The left caudate in particular has been suggested to have a relationship with the thalamus that governs the comprehension and articulation of words as they are switched between languages.

 Caudate sonnet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A caudate sonnet is an expanded version of the sonnet.
Gerard Manley Hopkins used the form in a less satirical mood in his "That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire." The poem is one of many in which Hopkins experimented variations on sonnet form.
However, unlike the curtal sonnet, a Hopkins invention which is a 10½-line form with precisely the same proportions as a Petrarchan sonnet, his caudate sonnet is a full sonnet unmodified but with an extra six lines.

 Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum
There are some regional differences: for example, medial caudate and nucleus accumbens receive their input from frontal cortex and limbic areas, and are implicated more in thinking and schizophrenia than in moving and motion disorders.
The caudate and putamen are reciprocally interconnected with the substantia nigra, but send most of their output to the globus pallidus (see diagram below).
Both receive input from the caudate and putamen, and both are in communication with the subthalamic nucleus.

The caudate and putamen are tightly interlinked and in some respects are indistinguishable and possess a similar internal compartmental structure of patches and matrix (Graybiel 1986; Gerfen, 1984).
Thus the putamen and caudate nucleus were formed and began to receive differential input from the thalamus as well as from the neocortex and therefore began to subserve somewhat different functions.
Indeed, the posterior caudate and it's tail is usually the earliest and most severely effected part of the brain -which implicates the amygdala as a factor in the development of chorea.

The basal ganglia is composed of several major nuclei which include the corpus (or dorsal) striatum ("striped bodies") i.e., the caudate and putamen which are extensively interconnected and which project to a variety of brain areas including the immediately adjacent globus pallidus ("pale globe").
Via inhibition the caudate is able to exert modulatory effects on motor activity and facial-gestural posture and expression, and aids in the maintenance of selective motoric attention, e.g.
With extensive left or bilateral caudate injuries it is not uncommon for patients to appear agitated, apathetic, with decreased spontaneous activity and slowed and delayed, dysarthric (or stuttering) and emotionally flat speech, with some patients responding to questions only after a 20-30 second delay (Caplan et al.

 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Neuroimaging Studies -- Neurotransmitter.net
For example, ventricular enlargement or reduced caudate volume or blood flow might be evident in patients with soft neurological signs (eg, tics), while patients in the current study were relatively free from tics.
The patient is a 16-year-old-boy with a midline germinal tumor (dysgerminoma) affecting the caudate nuclei; left lenticular, right internal capsule's genu; and bilateral involvement of the interventricular septum close to the interventricular foramina.
RESULTS: The average sizes of the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus, but not of the thalamus or total cerebrum, were significantly greater in the group of children with streptococcus-associated OCD and/or tics than in the healthy children.

 Amphibia: Caudata (salamanders, newts, amphiuma, mudpuppies, waterdogs, sirens)
The tails of most caudates are obvious, being approximately of equal length to the body, however, some may possess extraordinarily long tails (Oedipina, etc.), while the tails of others may be hard to distinguish from an elongate, snake-like body (Amphiuma, etc.).
Caudates also possess four limbs of relatively equal size, with the exceptions of the Sirens, which lack hind limbs.
Caudates are found mainly in the cooler Northern Hemisphere, with the exception of some genera of the family Plethodontidae that inhabit tropical zones of Central and South America, and a few other unique species.

Damage to the caudate, resulting in impaired access to the frontal lobes may also make it difficult for an HD-affected person to understand what is being said; however, the ability to understand usually remains intact, even in the later stages of the disease.
The task of the caudate is to organize, regulate and prioritize information transmitted from many areas of the brain to the frontal lobes.

H]YM 09151-2 binding also were detected in the nucleus accumbens/olfactory tubercle, in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, in the substantia nigra/ventral tegmentum (primarily the substantia nigra pars compacta), in the ventral pallidum and in the external segment of the globus pallidus (Figure 4 and Table 2).
Although the present data do not allow us to determine the degree of intraneuronal colocalization of dopamine receptors and the dopamine transporter, they suggest that the caudate nucleus, putamen, and the nucleus accumbens/olfactory tubercle should be closely examined for such interactions and their relevance to the effects of cocaine.

These are the caudate nuclei, and the rule for identifying them is simple: if you can see lateral ventricles, you can see caudate.
