Prosencephalon
- Telencephalon
- Diencephalon
Corpus callosum
- Callosal commissure
- It connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres
- Facilitates interhemispheric communication
- It is the biggest brain structure
Limbic system
- Fornix
  - Allow the passage of information
  - Connects cortical area
- Thalamus
  - Relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex
  - The lateral geniculate nucleu
    - Visual and gustative information
  - Sends sensitive information to each lobe
- Hypothalamus
  - Endocrine system
  - regulator of autonomous and visceral functions
  - Inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones.
The ventricular system
- It has four cavities
- Choroid plexus
  - Is a plexus of cells that produces the cerebrospinal fluid
- Third ventricle
  - It communicates with the lateral ventricle by the interventricular foramina.
- Fourth ventricle
  - Obex
    - Spinal cord
  - The foramen of Luschka and Magendie
    - Subarachnoid space
- Aqueduct of Sylvius
Brain nucleus
- Caudale nucleus
  - It's responsable for learning and memory
  - It function is motor
- Lenticular nucleus
  - Putamen
    - Coordinating the automatic behavior
  - Globus pallidus
    - Recives information of caudate nuccleus to putamen and send it to the substantia nigra
- Amigdala nucleus
  - Processing and storage of reactions and emotions
