Central and Peripheral

coordinates information coming into and out of spinal cord
Could you survive without your midbrain?
Probably for not very long.
What structures make up the limbic system?
Thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala
What is the corpus callosum's function?
Connects the left and right hemisphere to commmunicate information
What makes up the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
What are the structures that make up the hindbrain?
Medulla, reticular formation, cerebellum, pons
What are the structures of the midbrain?
Tectum and tegmentum
