  2. Thalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus

    The thalamus has multiple functions, and is generally believed to act as a relay station, or hub, relaying information between different subcortical areas and the cerebral cortex. [29] In particular, every sensory system (with the exception of the olfactory system ) includes a thalamic nucleus that receives sensory signals and sends them to the ...

  3. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    The limbic system, also known as the paleomammalian cortex, is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the medial temporal lobe of the cerebrum primarily in the forebrain. [1] Its various components support a variety of functions including emotion, behavior, long-term memory, and olfaction. [2]

  4. Diencephalon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diencephalon

    The diencephalon encloses a cavity called the third ventricle. The thalamus serves as a relay centre for sensory and motor impulses between the spinal cord and medulla oblongata, and the cerebrum. It recognizes sensory impulses of heat, cold, pain, pressure etc. The floor of the third ventricle is called the hypothalamus.

  5. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    In neuroanatomy, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a structure in the thalamus and a key component of the mammalian visual pathway. It is a small, ovoid, ventral projection of the thalamus where the thalamus connects with the optic nerve. There are two LGNs, one on the ...

  6. Epithalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamus

    The function of the epithalamus is to connect the limbic system to other parts of the brain. The epithalamus also serves as a connecting point for the dorsal diencephalic conduction system , which is responsible for carrying information from the limbic forebrain to limbic midbrain structures.

  7. Brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain

    The thalamus is a collection of nuclei with diverse functions: some are involved in relaying information to and from the cerebral hemispheres, while others are involved in motivation. The subthalamic area ( zona incerta ) seems to contain action-generating systems for several types of "consummatory" behaviors such as eating, drinking ...

  9. Brainstem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem

    The main supply of blood to the brainstem is provided by the basilar arteries and the vertebral arteries. [14]: 740 It is important to note that there is a bit of variability in how these arteries connect and supply blood to the brain, such as where the arteries fuse or are reinforced. The variability that exists allows for syndromes to be ...
