  2. Diencephalon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diencephalon

    The diencephalon has also been known as the tweenbrain in older literature. [2] It consists of structures that are on either side of the third ventricle, including the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus and the subthalamus. The diencephalon is one of the main vesicles of the brain formed during embryogenesis.

  3. Mammillary body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammillary_body

    Mammillary body atrophy is present in several other conditions, such as colloid cysts in the third ventricle, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, heart failure, and sleep apnea. In spite of this the exact function of the mammillary bodies is still not clear.

  4. Hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus

    The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system. [1] It forms the basal part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. [2] In humans, it is about the size of an almond. [3] The hypothalamus has the function of regulating certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic ...

  5. Limbic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    Hypothalamus: a center for the limbic system, connected with the frontal lobes, septal nuclei, and the brain stem reticular formation via the medial forebrain bundle, with the hippocampus via the fornix, and with the thalamus via the mammillothalamic fasciculus; regulates many autonomic processes

  6. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The hypothalamus in the diencephalon, is involved in regulating many functions of the body. Functions include neuroendocrine regulation, regulation of the circadian rhythm , control of the autonomic nervous system , and the regulation of fluid, and food intake.

  7. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    The prosencephalon develops further into the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The dorsal telencephalon gives rise to the pallium (cerebral cortex in mammals and reptiles) and the ventral telencephalon generates the basal ganglia. The diencephalon develops into the thalamus and hypothalamus, including the optic vesicles (future retina). [8]

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/.../cliteracy/anatomy

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Fornix (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fornix_(neuroanatomy)

    The bundles of fibers come together in the midline of the brain, forming the body of the fornix. The lower edge of the septum pellucidum (the membrane that separates the lateral ventricles) is attached to the upper face of the fornix body. The body of the fornix travels anteriorly and divides again near the anterior commissure. The left and ...
