2. Brainstem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem

   The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior stalk-like part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. [1] In the human brain the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. [1] The midbrain is continuous with the thalamus of the diencephalon through the tentorial notch, and sometimes the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medullary_pyramids_(brainstem)

   75254. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] In neuroanatomy, the medullary pyramids are paired white matter structures of the brainstem 's medulla oblongata that contain motor fibers of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts – known together as the pyramidal tracts. The lower limit of the pyramids is marked when the fibers ...

5. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

   In neuroanatomy, the ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities known as cerebral ventricles in the brain. [1][2] Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus which produces the circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord from the fourth ventricle ...

6. Human brain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

   The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...

7. Reticular formation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticular_formation

   The reticular formation is a set of interconnected nuclei in the brainstem that spans from the lower end of the medulla oblongata to the upper end of the midbrain. [2] The neurons of the reticular formation make up a complex set of neural networks in the core of the brainstem. [3] It is not anatomically well defined, because it includes neurons ...
