Major subcortical areas of the brain: forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain. Hindbrain: atop the spinal cord, basic rhythms, alertness. Midbrain: sits above the hindbrain, coordinates movement, especially eye movement (eye movements), includes parts of the auditory pathways, regulates the experience of pain. Forebrain: includes the cortex, and subcortical structures. The subcortical parts of the forebrain include: thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system: amygdala, hippocampus. Axes: left-right -> longitudinal fissure connection corpus callosum and anterior commissure. Center of reasoning, planning, some parts of speech, movement (motor cortex), emotions, and problem solving. Found on the top of your head.
