Corona radiata

Corona Radiata is a white matter sheet that continues ventrally as the internal capsule and dorsally as the centrum semiovale. This is an important part of the brain as it is involved in carrying data to and from the cerebral cortex.

Structure

The corona radiata is associated with the neurons that travel to and from the cerebral cortex. These neurons pass through the corona radiata. The corona radiata is a component of the cerebral white matter and it is mainly composed of myelinated axons.

Function

The corona radiata is involved in carrying data to and from the cerebral cortex. It carries sensory information between the thalamus and the cerebral cortex and motor information from the cerebral cortex to other areas of the brain and spinal cord.

Clinical significance

Damage to the corona radiata can cause a variety of neurological symptoms depending on the severity and location of the damage. These can include motor deficits, sensory deficits, and cognitive deficits.
