Document Summary

Write a short paragraph in your own words about the structures below. Be sure to use clear and plain language that is meaningful and not overly technical. Include the most important information such as location and functions. Cerebral cortex: forebrain cerebrum basal nuclei motor station di thalamus gateway of hypotha n cerebrum. Visceral hormone control (could connect to the pituitary gland) midbrain. Spinal cord (1) basal nuclei: structures of gray matter located in the cerebrum. There is no direct connection with motor pathways. Its role is to monitor the speed of movement. Diencephalon: (2) the thalamus is a structure apart of the diencephalon that makes up 80 percent of it. The right and left side are connected by the intermediate mass. The thalamus is the area of the brain where all sensory input is collected except the sense of smell.
