Synonyms in the broadest sense Truncus encephali Introduction The brain stem, also called truncus encepahli, consists of the following components: Midbrain=Mesencephalon Afterbrain=Metencephalon from bridge (Pons) and cerebellum Lengthened medulla oblangata The brain stem of the brain comprises, from top to bottom, the midbrain, the bridge with the IV brain ventricle behind it and the adjacent … Brainstem
Cerebellum The cerebellum as a part of the brain lies on the brain stem at its back and is connected to it by three cerebellar peduncles (pedunculi = feet). From the rest of the brain (cerebrum), under which the cerebellum is located, it is separated by a cerebral plate (tentorium cerebelli, tentorium = tent). The … Cerebellum | Brainstem

The body’s circadian rhythms cannot adjust quickly enough to the time change, which can result in a number of psychological and physical ailments. What is jet lag? Jet lag is a physical reaction to a disturbance in … Jet Lag: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Synonym ProsencephalonThe forebrain is a part of the brain and thus belongs to the central nervous system. It includes the diencephalon (diencephalon) and the cerebrum (telencephalon). These emerge from the forebrain vesicle during the embryonic development phase of the brain. The forebrain has a multitude of functions, the cerebrum is essential for numerous processes such … Forebrain
Epithamalus The epithalamus sits on the thalamus from behind. Two important structures of the epithalamus are the pineal gland and the area pretectalis. The pineal gland produces melatonin. This is an important hormone in the mediation of the circadian rhythm and thus the sleep-wake rhythm. The area pretectalis plays a role in the switching of … Epithamalus | Forebrain
Cerebrum Synonym: Telencephalon Definition: The cerebrum is also called the end brain and is a part of the central nervous system. It consists of two hemispheres, separated by the longitudinal fissure of the cerebrum. The two hemispheres can be further divided into four lobes. Here, innumerable integration processes take place, including the following: Anatomy: A … Cerebrum | Forebrain
Limbic system Anatomy & Function: The centers belonging to the limbic system are sometimes not clearly defined. They are all located near the brain bar (corpus callosum). The limbic system generally includes the following structures: The amygdala lies in the temporal lobe. It plays a decisive role in the emotionally determined regulation of vegetative parameters. … Limbic system | Forebrain
Synonyms in the broadest sense Diencephalon Introduction The diencephalon as a part of the brain is located between the end brain (cerebrum) and the brain stem. Its components are: Thalamus Epithalamus (epi = on it) Subthalamus (sub = below) with Globus pallidus (pallidum) Hypothalamus (hypo = below, less) Thalamus The ovoid paired thalamus is the … Interbrain
