2023年11月3日 · The midbrain, or mesencephalon, is the most rostral part of the brainstem that connects the pons and cerebellum with the forebrain. For most of its part, the midbrain sits in the posterior cranial fossa, traversing the hiatus of the tentorium cerebelli .

During embryonic development, the midbrain (also known as the mesencephalon) arises from the second vesicle of the neural tube, while the interior of this portion of the tube becomes the cerebral aqueduct.

2024年9月10日 · The midbrain is the smallest portion of the brainstem (about 1.5 cm) and its most cranial structure. It is in the brainstem between the pons caudally (mesencephalic-pons groove) and the diencephalon, which includes the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the epithalamus, and the subthalamus. [1] .

2018年3月16日 · The mesencephalon or midbrain is the portion of the brainstem that connects the hindbrain and the forebrain. A number of nerve tracts run through the midbrain that connect the cerebrum with the cerebellum and other hindbrain structures.

2023年5月9日 · The midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a part of the central nervous system. It is located below your cerebral cortex and at the top of your brainstem.

2023年5月26日 · The midbrain (also known as the mesencephalon) is the most superior of the three regions of the brainstem. It acts as a conduit between the forebrain above and the pons and cerebellum below.

midbrain, region of the developing vertebrate brain that is composed of the tectum and tegmentum. The midbrain serves important functions in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing.

The midbrain, or mesencephalon, is the portion of the central nervous system that lies above the hindbrain, or rhombencephalon, and below the diencephalon, connecting the two. It is involved with sensory integration, control of motor and sleep functions and in the regulation of temperature.

During embryonic development, the midbrain arises from the second vesicle, also known as the mesencephalon, of the neural tube. Unlike the other two vesicles (the prosencephalon and rhombencephalon), the mesencephalon remains undivided for the …

The midbrain, also known as the mesencephalon, is the smallest, most cranial part of the brainstem. It is located between the diencephalon (which includes the thalamus and hypothalamus) and the pons.
