 Horizontal Groove that Separates the Cerebrum
from the Cerebellum

CEREBELLUM: Peduncles
 CEREBELLAR PEDUNCLES
 INFERIOR, MIDDLE, SUPERIOR
 Tracts that Connect Cerebellum to Other Parts of CNS (Primarily
to Brainstem)
Cerebellum Picture
FUNCTIONS of the CEREBELLUM
 All Functions of Cerebellum
Involve Skeletal Muscles
 SKILLED MOVEMENTS
 (WITH CEREBRAL CORTEX)
 Nerve Impulses from the
Cerebellum Added to Nerve
Impulses from the Cerebral
Cortex Produce Movements
(Skeletal Muscles) That are Coordinated and Precise
 EQUILIBRIUM
 Cerebellum Works with the Inner
Ear and Skeletal Muscles to Help
Maintain Balance
 POSTURE
 Cerebellum Controls Tonic
Contractions
DIENCEPHALON
 Between Brain
 3 MAJOR STRUCTURES
 THALAMUS
 HYPOTHALAMUS
 PINEAL BODY
DIENCEPHALON: THALAMUS
 Gray Matter Shaped Like a Dumb-bell Weight
DIENCEPHALON: HYPOTHALAMUS
 Gray Matter Below Thalamus
 Boundaries:
 Anterior Portion: Optic Chiasma
 Middle Portion: Infundibulum
 Posterior Portion: Mamillary Bodies
Sheep HYPOTHALAMUS (#9)
Optic Chiasma
Mammilary Body
Pituitary Gland
PINEAL BODY
 Pine-cone Shaped Structure Located Above the
Corpora Quadrigemina
Sheep Pineal
Functions of the Diencephalon
 THALAMUS
 SENSATIONS (TWO
PART MECHANISM)
 SERVES AS A MAJOR
RELAY STATION FOR
SENSORY IMPULSES
HEADED TO THE
CEREBRAL CORTEX
 PRODUCES CRUDE
AWARENESS OF
SOME GENERAL
SENSATIONS
Functions of the Diencephalon: Thalamus
 SENSATIONS: MAJOR RELAY STATION FOR SENSORY
IMPULSES HEADED TO THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
 Impulses That Will Eventually Reach the Cerebral Cortex and be
Interpreted as Sensations* are First Relayed Through the
Thalamus (Thalamus is the "Gateway to the Cerebral Cortex")
 * All Sensations Except for Possibly Olfactory
Functions of the Diencephalon: Thalamus
 PRODUCES CRUDE AWARENESS OF SOME
GENERAL SENSATIONS
 Crude Awareness: Not Precise/Fine Tuned
 Cerebral Cortex Interprets Sensations; However, the
Thalamus can Interpret Some General Sensations,
but Only on a Crude Level
Functions of the Diencephalon continued…
 ASSOCIATION OF SENSATIONS WITH EMOTIONS
 Thalamus Allows Us to Link Sensations (i.e., Taste) with Emotions (i.e.,
Unpleasantness)
 AROUSAL (ALERTING MECHANISM)
 Thalamus (as Well as Many Other Areas of the Brain) is Involved in
Keeping Us Awake and Alert (Consciousness)
 COMPLEX REFLEX MOVEMENTS
 The Thalamus is Involved in Some Reflexes
HYPOTHALAMUS
 REGULATES/CO-ORDINATES ANS
 There are Neuron Connections Between the Hypothalamus and the ANS
 LINKS "PSYCHE" AND "SOMA"
 Psyche: Mind/Awareness; Associated with the Cerebral Cortex
 Soma: Body/Effectors; Associated with the ANS and the Somatic NS
 Helps to Explain Psychosomatic Illness (Emotions can Lead to Changed
Body Functions)
HYPOTHALAMUS controls PITUITARY GLAND
 LINKS NERVOUS AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS
(CONTROLS PITUITARY GLAND)
 DIRECTLY: SYNTHESIZES POSTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND
HORMONES (WATER BALANCE)
 INDIRECTLY: REGULATES HORMONE SECRETION BY
ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND (RELEASING HORMONES)
HYPOTHALAMUS & Posterior Pituitary Gland
 DIRECTLY: SYNTHESIZES POSTERIOR PITUITARY
GLAND HORMONES (WATER BALANCE)
 The Hypothalamus Actually Builds the Hormones of the
PPG Just Stores and Releases Them
PPG;
HYPOTHALAMUS & Anterior Pituitary Gland
 INDIRECTLY: REGULATES
HORMONE SECRETION BY
ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND
(RELEASING HORMONES)
 The APG Builds Its Own Hormones;
However, Those Hormones Aren't
Released Until the Hypothalamus
"Says" They can be Released
 Mouse pituitary:

the_Mouse/index.php?file=Chapter_6.ht
ml#fig23
RELEASING HORMONE PATHWAYS
 The Way the Hypothalamus "Says" These Hormones can be
Released is Through Releasing Hormones
 i.e., Hypothalamus -----> Releasing Hormones -----> APG -----> Release
of APG Hormones
HYPOTHALAMUS: Overall Functions
 AROUSAL (ALERTING) MECHANISM
 REGULATES APPETITE AND FOOD INTAKE
 REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
HYPOTHALAMUS: Alertness
 AROUSAL (ALERTING) MECHANISM
 The Hypothalamus is Also Involved in This Mechanism
HYPOTHALAMUS: Appetite
 REGULATES APPETITE AND FOOD INTAKE
 The Hypothalamus Contains Both Appetite and Satiety
Centers (Clusters of Neurons)
 When the Appetite Center is Stimulated, One Feels
Hungry, When the Satiety is Stimulated, One Feels Full
HYPOTHALAMUS: Body Temperature
 REGULATION OF BODY TEMPERATURE
 The Hypothalamus Contains the Human Thermostat
PINEAL BODY
 REGULATES BIOLOGICAL CLOCK
 Individual's Unique Patterns of Eating and Sleeping;
 Also Includes Cycles That Occur in the Female Reproductive
System
 SECRETES HORMONES (MELATONIN)
 For This Reason, is Also Known as the Pineal Gland
 Secretes Melatonin
