Study Notes
Forebrain
- The developing neural tube gives rise to the forebrain, also known as the prosencephalon.
- The telencephalon cortex is derived from the prosencephalon.
Diencephalon
- The diencephalon is comprised of a region called the Thalamus and the Hypothalamus.
Midbrain
- The midbrain is located between the forebrain and hindbrain.
Hindbrain
- The hindbrain, or rhombencephalon, includes the pons and cerebellum.
- The medulla oblongata, or the myelencephalon, is located at the lower part of the brain.
Brain Divisions
- The forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain are the three main divisions of the brain.
