  2. Forebrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forebrain

    The forebrain controls body temperature, reproductive functions, eating, sleeping, and the display of emotions. Vesicles of the forebrain (prosencephalon), the midbrain (mesencephalon), and hindbrain (rhombencephalon) are the three primary brain vesicles during the early development of the nervous system .

  4. Basal forebrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_forebrain

    The nucleus basalis is the main neuromodulator of the basal forebrain and gives widespread cholinergic projections to the neocortex. [3] [1] The nucleus basalis is an essential part of the neuromodulatory system that controls behaviour by regulating arousal and attention. [1] The nucleus basalis is also seen to be a critical node in the memory ...

  5. Hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

    A review makes reference to a number of studies that show the involvement of the hippocampus in conflict tasks. The authors suggest that one challenge is to understand how conflict processing relates to the functions of spatial navigation and memory and how all of these functions need not be mutually exclusive. [63]

  6. Medial forebrain bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_forebrain_bundle

    [1] It contains both ascending and descending fibers. The mesolimbic pathway, which is a collection of dopaminergic neurons that projects from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens, is a component pathway of the MFB. [2] The MFB is one of the two major pathways connecting the limbic forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.

  7. Fornix (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fornix_(neuroanatomy)

    The fornix also carries some afferent fibers to the hippocampus from structures in the diencephalon and basal forebrain. The fornix is part of the limbic system. While its exact function and importance in the physiology of the brain are still not entirely clear, it has been demonstrated in humans that surgical transection—the cutting of the ...

  8. Putamen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putamen

    It is located at the base of the forebrain and above the midbrain. The putamen and caudate nucleus together form the dorsal striatum. Through various pathways, the putamen is connected to the substantia nigra, the globus pallidus, the claustrum, and the thalamus, in addition to many regions of the cerebral cortex.

  9. Function analysis diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_analysis_diagram

    A function analysis diagram (FAD) is a method used in engineering design to model and visualize the functions and interactions between components of a system or product. It represents the functional relationships through a diagram consisting of blocks, which represent physical components, and labeled relations/arrows between them, which represent useful or harmful functional interactions.
