Document Summary
Right thalamus and left thalamus separated by the interthalamic adhesion. Pituitary gland = little round ball in the middle. Vpn picks up sensory information ans projects it into the primary sensory cortex. Lgn picks up visual information from retina and sends it to the occipital lobe. Mgn picks up auditory information and sends it to the cerebral cortex. Colour map of where information is relayed to. Hypothalamus: known as the master gland it controls your autonomic nervous system, limbic system, body temperature, hunger, thirst, pleasure, circadian rhythms. It synthesis neural hormones oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone posterior pituitary where their released. Releases releasing hormones anterior pituitary to cause other hormones to be released. Between the optic chiasm and the mammillary body. Epithalamiums: is made up of the pineal gland and the posterior commissure. Epithalamus forms part of the roof of the third ventricle. Pineal gland is posterior inferior to the thalamus. Hypothalamus controls temperature, food, thirst, pleasure, memory, emotions.
