Thalamus, hypothalamus, retina
Adult brain structure of: Mesencephalon?
Brain stem: Midbrain
Adult brain structure of: Metencephalon?
Cerebellum
Brain stem: Pons
Adult brain structure of: Myelencephalon?

Largest region of the brain?
Cerebrum
Cortex (gray matter)
Most superficial layer; few neurons and predominantly
unmyelinated fibers.
Molecular layer
Cortex (gray matter)
many small pyramidal neurons, which give it a
granular appearance.
Outer granular layer
small and medium pyramidal neurons that send
axons to adjacent cerebral cortex.
Outer pyramidal layer
many stellate or star-shaped neurons that receive
specific sensory impulses.
Inner granular layer
medium to large pyramidal neurons, stellate neurons
and granule neurons.
Inner pyramidal layer
