What does the myelencephalon develop into

medulla oblongata

What are functions of the cerebrum?

process higher neurological functions, voluntary actions

What are the functions of the hypothalamus?

ANS for endocrine system, motivational drives such as sex hunger thirst

What are the functions of the thalamus?

somatic sensations, vision, hearing

What are functions of the midbrain?

narrow part conduct all nerves of fore/hindbrain

What are the parts of the tectum?

superior colliculus and inferior colliculus

What are functions of the superior colliculus?

sense eye and control

What are functions of the inferior colliculus?

relay station for sensory info

What are parts of the tegmentum?

red nucleus and substania nigra

What are functions of the red nucleus?

motor control

What are functions of the substania nigra?

motor control and dopamine

What are functions of the cerebellum?

inputs from forebrain of proprioception coordinated movement

What can damage of the cerebellum lead to?

ataxia

What are functions of the pons?

most descending axons from cortex synapse in pons then cross to cerebellum

What is the function of the medulla oblongata?

carries axon of efferent neurons for movement

What makes up the brain stem?

midbrain, cerebellum, pons, medulla oblongata

What is the dark blue part of the brain?
