  2. Superior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_colliculus

    Section of mid-brain at level of superior colliculi. Hind- and mid-brains; postero-lateral view. Superior colliculus labeled in blue. The superior colliculus is a paired structure of the dorsal midbrain and is part of the midbrain tectum. The two superior colliculi are situated inferior/caudal to the pineal gland and the splenium of corpus ...

  3. Corpora quadrigemina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpora_quadrigemina

    It consists of groups of nerve cells-grey matter scattered in white matter. It basically connects the forebrain and the hind brain. It has four corpora quadrigemina which are the reflex centres of eye movement and auditory responses. The superior part of corpora quadrigemina are called superior colliculi, and inferior part as inferior colliculi ...

  4. Inferior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_colliculus

    The inferior colliculus has a relatively high metabolism in the brain. The Conrad Simon Memorial Research Initiative measured the blood flow of the IC and put a number at 1.80 cc/g/min in the cat brain. For reference, the runner up in the included measurements was the somatosensory cortex at 1.53.

    Brain anatomy – forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain. The cerebral peduncles each form a lobe ventrally of the tegmentum, on either side of the midline. Beyond the midbrain, between the lobes, is the interpeduncular fossa , which is a cistern filled with cerebrospinal fluid [ citation needed ] .

  8. Cerebral peduncle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_peduncle

    The cerebral peduncles (In Latin, ped-means 'foot'.) are the two stalks that attach the cerebrum to the brainstem. [1] They are structures at the front of the midbrain which arise from the ventral pons and contain the large ascending (sensory) and descending (motor) tracts that run to and from the cerebrum from the pons.

  9. Cerebral aqueduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_aqueduct

    The cerebral aqueduct (aqueduct of the midbrain, aqueduct of Sylvius, Sylvian aqueduct, mesencephalic duct) is a small, narrow tube connecting the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The cerebral aqueduct is a midline structure that passes through the midbrain .
