Afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor)
Another name for the myencephalon
Medulla
The myencephalon contains
The reticular formation
The metencephalon contains
The pons and the cerebellum
Cerebellum controls
Coordination
Another name for the mesencephalon is the
Midbrain
The mesencephalon consists of these two structures
Tectum and tegmentum
The tectum consists of
The inferior and superior colliculi
The tegmentum has these structures
Periaqueductal gray
Substantia nigra
Red nucleus
The disencephalon is composed of
The thalamus and hypothalamus
Another name for the telencephalon is the
Cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex is responsible for
Analyzing sensory processing and higher brain functions
What are the two main subcortical structures of the telencephalon
Limbic lobe
Basal ganglia
