Neuroanatomy, oh boy

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of neuroanatomy.

(or just "neuro" if you are in the "in" crowd)

I am pointing to the putamen located in your basal ganglia in your brain. 

These guys are important for when you are thinking about moving.  

So, moms, when your darling little one is thinking about reaching for that thing 

you told him/her not to touch...

think about that putamen when you say..."don't even think about it..."
