Document Summary

Includes the cerebellum and two structures found in the lower part of the brain-stem the medulla and the pons. Medulla attaches to the spinal cord and has charge of large unconscious but vital functions. The pons is like a bridge of fibers that connects the brainstem with the cerebellum. Cerebellum is a relatively large and deeply folded structure located adjacent to the back surface of the brainstem. Cerebellum is critical to the coordination of movement and to the sense of equilibrium, or physical balance. Midbrain is the segment of the brainstem that lies between the hindbrain and the forebrain. Contains an area that is concerned with integrating sensory processes, such as vision and hearing. Largest and most complex region of the brain, encompassing a variety of structures, including the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, and cerebrum. Located near the top of the forebrain. Above them is the cerebrum- the seat of complex thought.
