1
Q
3 Initial divisions
A
Forebrain (proencephalon)
Midbrain (mesencephalon)
Hindbrain(rhomboencephalon)
2
Q
Proencephalon
A
Divides into the telencephalon which forms the cerebral hemispheres
Diencephalon which forms the thalami and the third ventricle
3
Q
Midbrain (mesencephalon)
A
Mesencephalon forms the cerebral aqueduct
4
Q
Hindbrain (rhomboencephalon )
A
Divides into the metencephalon which forms the pons and cerebellum and the upper part of the fourth ventricle
And the myelencephalon which forms the medulla (lower part of the fourth ventricle )
