  2. Midbrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midbrain

    The midbrain or mesencephalon is the rostral -most portion of the brainstem [2] connecting the diencephalon and cerebrum with the pons. [3] It consists of the cerebral peduncles, tegmentum, and tectum. It is functionally associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep and wakefulness, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.

  3. Cerebral aqueduct - Wikipedia

    Drawing of a cast of the ventricular cavities, viewed from the side. 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.

  4. Epithalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamus

    The epithalamus is a tiny structure that comprises the habenular trigone, the pineal gland, and the habenular commissure. It is wired with the limbic system and basal ganglia. Species that possess a photoreceptive parapineal organ show asymmetry in the epithalamus at the habenula, to the left (dorsal). [7]

  5. Mesencephalic locomotor region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesencephalic_locomotor_region

    The integration of motor and sensory information during walking involves communication between cortical, subcortical, and spinal circuits. Step-like motor patterns of the lower extremities can be induced through activation of the spinal circuitry alone; [16] however, supraspinal input is necessary for functional bipedal walking in humans.

  6. Diencephalon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diencephalon

    Function. The diencephalon is the region of the embryonic vertebrate neural tube that gives rise to anterior forebrain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, posterior portion of the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland. The diencephalon encloses a cavity called the third ventricle. The thalamus serves as a relay centre for sensory ...

  7. Pons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pons

    Pons. The pons (from Latin pons, "bridge") is part of the brainstem that in humans and other mammals, lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum. The pons is also called the pons Varolii ("bridge of Varolius"), after the Italian anatomist and surgeon Costanzo Varolio (1543–75). [1]
