Document Summary
What it does, where it is, what happens when it"s broke: the layer of gray matter lying just under the surface of the cerebrum. Lateral ventricles: paired structures that sprout like antlers from the third ventricle, surrounded by the two cerebral hemispheres. Telencephalon: (or cerebrum) hemisphere seen from outside, initiates motor movement, pons then cerebellum to make it more precise. Diencephalon: thalamus (dorsal), hypothalamus (ventral or below thalamus) Thalamus: major relay station, interface between the cortex and the rest of the nervous system, top of brain stem. Hypothalamus: homeostasis (body temperature and hormones/endocrine system, fight, flight, feeding, fucking (hormones, hunger, fear reactions) Mesencephalon: mid brain, reflexes: tectum: behind tegmentum (dorsal to cerebral aqueduct, tegmentum: on top of pons (ventral to cerebral aqueduct) Metencephalon: cerebellum: fist shape at base of brain, responsible for precise, skilled motor movement (and balance/posture, pons: bridge connecting cerebellum to the rest of the brain, ball like structure above medulla, 2nd to last on brain stem.
