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