Connects the hippocampus to mammillary bodies and other parts of the bra in. Breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure; contains nuclei serving several crania i nerves. Sleep/waking cycles; contains nuclei serving several crania i nerves. Hypothalamus regulation of hunger, thirst, aggression, sexual behavior,and the autonomic nervous system. Cerebral cortex highest level of sensory and motor processing;highest cognitive activity. Inferior: towards bottom: doesn"t change bending of neuraxis, ceiling as superior, floor as inferior, front wall as anterior, back wall as posterior, rostral part of brain and ventral part of spinal cord both referred to as anterior. Additional directional terms: midline: imaginary line dividing body into two equal halves. Important to interpret 3d structures as flat images on a page: anatomists found useful to make particular sections in nervous system.
