  2. Diencephalon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diencephalon

    The diencephalon has also been known as the tweenbrain in older literature. [2] It consists of structures that are on either side of the third ventricle, including the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus and the subthalamus. The diencephalon is one of the main vesicles of the brain formed during embryogenesis.

  3. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    The prosencephalon develops further into the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The dorsal telencephalon gives rise to the pallium (cerebral cortex in mammals and reptiles) and the ventral telencephalon generates the basal ganglia. The diencephalon develops into the thalamus and hypothalamus, including the optic vesicles (future retina). [8]

  4. Third ventricle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_ventricle

    The diencephalon expands more evenly, but caudally of the diencephalon the canal remains narrow. The third ventricle is the space formed by the expanding canal of the diencephalon. The hypothalamic region of the ventricle develops from the ventral portion of the neural tube, while the thalamic region develops from the dorsal portion; the wall ...

  5. Epithalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamus

    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. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Some functions of its components include the secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland ( circadian rhythms ), regulation of motor ...

  6. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The diencephalon gives rise to the thalamus and hypothalamus. The hindbrain also splits into two areas – the metencephalon and the myelencephalon. The metencephalon gives rise to the cerebellum and pons. The myelencephalon gives rise to the medulla oblongata. [71] Also during the fifth week, the brain divides into repeating segments called ...

  7. Midbrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midbrain

    The midbrain or mesencephalon is the uppermost portion of the brainstem connecting the diencephalon and cerebrum with the pons. [2] ... (also known as the ...

  8. Central nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system

    The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting primarily of the brain and spinal cord.The CNS is so named because the brain integrates the received information and coordinates and influences the activity of all parts of the bodies of bilaterally symmetric and triploblastic animals—that is, all multicellular animals except sponges and diploblasts.

  9. Brain - Wikipedia

    Some archaeological evidence suggests that the mourning rituals of European Neanderthals also involved the consumption of the brain. [150] The Fore people of Papua New Guinea are known to eat human brains. In funerary rituals, those close to the dead would eat the brain of the deceased to create a sense of immortality.
