The SpinalCord
BrainstemDiencephalonCerebrum/Cerebellum
Brain Pot Pourri
The part of the white matter (ie – one of the three columns) that
carries sensory information to the
brain.
Containing pyramids, this subregion of the
brainstem is responsible for vital function such as
heartrate, blood pressure, breathing,
swallowing and many other vital functions for
life.
Containing superior and inferior colliculi, this
region of the brainstem is primarily involved with relaying information to the auditory and visual
cortex.
Meaning “bridge,” this portion of the brainstem relays
information between the right
and left hemispheres.
This group of nuclei is responsible for
consciousness, and is the group of cells that are manipulated using
anesthetics.
Structure #5 – this structure is involved in
the onset of puberty in humans and migratory patterns in animals.
This part of the diencephalon is the most
superior and posterior portion of the
diencephalon. It is responsible for our
response to odors and also plays a role in the onset of
puberty.
This is the most inferior part of the diencephalon and
controls such things as body
temperature, hunger and thirst.
Represented by #6 on the diagram – this is the main dumping place for all sensory
neurons before they are redirected to the appropriate place in the cerebrum.
Known as the comparator, this
structure within the brain helps with the
learning of new motor movements.
What is unmyelinated axons do not carry action
potentials (or messages) as quickly? They
also use more ATP in the process!
