-
An extensive region of the brainstem, extending from the medulla through the thalamus, that is involved in sleep and arousal.
-
The band of axons that connects the two cerebral hemispheres.
-
A structure located at the back of the brain that is involved in the central regulation of movement.
-
Part of the diencephalon, implicated in hunger, thirst, temperature regulation, reproductive behaviors, and much more.
-
