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 ...
In neuroanatomy, the ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities known as cerebral ventricles in the brain. [1] [2] Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus which produces the circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord from the fourth ventricle ...
The habenula (diminutive of Latin habena meaning rein) is a small bilateral neuronal structure in the brain of vertebrates, that has also been called a microstructure since it is no bigger than a pea. The naming as little rein describes its elongated shape in the epithalamus, where it borders the third ventricle, and lies in front of the pineal ...
Ventricular system – set of structures containing cerebrospinal fluid which bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord within the skull; Cranial nerve – neuron bundles that connect to the brain on one end, and to locations outside the brain on the other, without having a junction inside the spinal column
Circumventricular organs (CVOs) (circum-: around ; ventricular: of ventricle) are structures in the brain characterized by their extensive and highly permeable capillaries, unlike those in the rest of the brain where there exists a blood–brain barrier (BBB) at the capillary level.
