The posterior of the three principal divisions of the brain, including the epencephalon and metencephalon. Sometimes restricted to the epencephalon only.
most primitive part of the brain; includes the medulla and cerebellum.
The most posterior of the three brain vesicles that arise at the anterior end of the neural tube during embryonic development of the brain. Also, the most posterior part of the adult brain, which develops from the hindbrain vesicle, including the pons, medulla, and cerebellum.
the portion of the brain that consists of the medulla, pons, and cerebellum.
the posterior of three swellings in the hollow nerve cord of the primitive vertebrate brain; formed by a thickening of the wall of the nerve cord.
the part of the brain below tentorium cerebelli, comprising medulla oblongata, pons and cerebellum.
the posterior portion of the brain including cerebellum and brainstem
located about where the spinal cord comes into the brain, this region is considered the most primitive part of the brain; it is responsible for most bodily functions that maintain life.
The rearmost portion of the brain just above the spinal cord, which includes the pons, medulla, and cerebellum.
The post posterior swelling on the neural tube; also called the rhombencephalon. Gives rise to the Mesencephalon and the Myelencephalon.
The section of the brain that regulates the reflexes and contains the root of the trigeminal nerve, which is important in transmitting the pain associated with headaches.
