-
A fiber tract that extends from the hippocampus to the mammillary body.
-
Part of the diencephalon; an important sensory relay nucleus to the cerebral cortex.
-
A cortical portion of the limbic system, found in the frontal and parietal midline.
-
The caudal of two pairs of bumps visible on the dorsal surface of the midbrain; receive information about sound.
-
A structure located at the back of the brain that is involved in the central regulation of movement.
-
The band of axons that connects the two cerebral hemispheres.
-
Part of the diencephalon, implicated in hunger, thirst, temperature regulation, reproductive behaviors, and much more.
-
A small, complex endocrine gland located at the base of the skull; controls almost all hormone secretion.
-
Immediately ventral to the cerebellum, this structure ncludes regions involved in motor control and sensory analysis, including several cranial nerve nuclei.
-
The more rostral of two pairs of bumps visible on the dorsal surface of the midbrain; receive visual information.
-
Forms the bottom of the brainstem and marks the transition from brain stem to spinal cord; neurons here maintain vital bodily functions.
-
An extensive region of the brainstem, extending from the medulla through the thalamus, that is involved in sleep and arousal.
