Introduction[edit | edit source]
The midbrain (derived from the mesencephalon of the neural tube) is a part of the central nervous system, located below your cerebral cortex and at the topmost part of the brainstem. This small but important structure plays a crucial role in processing information related to hearing, vision, movement, pain, sleep, and arousal.
When viewed in cross-section, the midbrain can be divided into three portions:
- Tectum (posterior)
- Tegmentum
- Cerebral peduncles (anterior)[1]
