Brain Overview and Divisions
Fundamental subdivisions of the human brain and embryological origins
Cerebral Cortex and Lobes
Lobes of the brain and functional cortical regions
Diencephalon
Structures and functions of the central relay and regulatory center
Brainstem
Connects cerebrum and spinal cord; houses cranial nerve nuclei
Cerebellum
Coordinates movement and maintains posture and balance
Ventricular System
CSF-filled spaces and their connections in the brain
Basal Ganglia
Subcortical nuclei involved in motor control and coordination
Limbic System
Network involved in emotion, memory, and behavior
Internal Capsule and White Matter Tracts
White matter pathways that connect different parts of the brain
Meninges and CSF System
Protective coverings of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid circulation
Cranial Nerves
Twelve pairs of nerves that emerge from the brain
Neurovasculature of the Brain
Arterial supply and venous drainage of the brain
Development of the Nervous System
Embryological formation and differentiation of the nervous system
