Study Notes
Brain Structure and Function
- The longitudinal fissure divides the cerebrum into right and left cerebral hemispheres.
Brain Regions
- The cerebrum is the largest and most complex part of the human brain.
- The three main regions of the brain are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.
Brainstem
- The mesencephalon is located between the thalamus/hypothalamus of the forebrain and the pons of the hindbrain.
Diencephalon
- The epithalamus forms the thin roof of the cavity enclosed by the diencephalon.
Corpus Callosum
- The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers that facilitates communication between the right and left cerebral hemispheres.
Olfactory System
- The olfactory lobes are located in the forebrain.
Thalamus
- The thalamus relays sensory information from the senses (except smell) to the cerebrum.
Pons Varolii
- The pons varolii (part of the brainstem) plays a crucial role in controlling sleep and arousal.
