Neuroanatomy - The Brainstem

Ultra High Definition video " 4K "

The brainstem is the brain anatomical structure that links different parts of the central nervous system: the forebrain, the cerebellum and the spinal cord.
The brainstem plays a vital role in the many essential functions that its nuclei regulate, such as breathing and heart rate and even Consciousness.
It is also a passageway to sensory and motor pathways, and a pain control center.
The brainstem represents the emergence area of most cranial nerves.
We distinguish three parts of the brainstem "the midbrain, the pons and the medulla."
The midbrain "or mesencephalon" is the area of the brainstem that is directly connected to the forebrain through the cerebral peduncles,
behind these two peduncles, we find the tegmentum with a hole in back side : the cerebral aqueduct. Also known as the aqueduct of Sylvius, it connects the 3rd to the 4th ventricle.
on the back of The midbrain is the tectum, with four colliculi (Also named corpora quadrigemina ), where lie the reflex centers involving hearing and vision.
The Pons "AKA the pons Varolii" is the middle part of the brainstem.
It plays an important role in motor functions with its relay position between the forebrain and the cerebellum,
it also contributes to autonomous functions and facial sensitivity (it containes the core and the emergence of the trigeminal nerve).
The Pons is connected to the cerebellum by the middle cerebellar peduncle.
It delimits the front face of the 4th ventricle.
The medulla oblongata is the portion of the brainstem between the pons and the spinal cord.
The medulla contains the olivary and a pair of pyramids that contain the corticospinal fibers of the pyramidal tract.
The medulla contains vital autonomic control centers for functions such as breathing, heart rate and Many reflex functions (vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing).
It ends at the bottom by the pyramidal decussation: a crossing region of the corticospinal fibers.

I found it! A video explaining where the cerebral peduncles are! Ive been looking for them everywhere. Oh lord, THANK YOU!

[chillinvl]

Good luck future doctors!! Help many people.

[draghith]

seriously man, after tens of books for usmle neuroanatomy. your creation is a god send. just amazing. keep it up. downloading your program and video. stunning work!!

[vishnubhattacharyya]

By heavens! The momment I found this I hit jackpot ... This 3D str. was better than black and white photos ; I had a tough time identifying The Position of 4th ventricle Thanks!!! Please consider adding In depth details about different nerve nuclii in midbrain I need it!

[dyamond]

really helpful! thank you, and please ignore the negative comments.

[nicoleboothe]

you speak perfect English... just a small accent which is beautiful ... the brain stem needs more physiology videos I can only find three ... thank you for sharing and spreading knowledge

[MrNubshow]

Despite what Robert Bender says. I found your video extremely useful. I found your voice to be soothing, and very clear. Thank you for the video.

THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION BETWEEN BRAINSTEM AND MEDULLA.

[hajahnormadiahghani]

BRILLIANT.Background music was a good fit.

[alexanderangelescu]

I dig these videos - the pace of the audio is perfect for me, and the graphics are dope! Thank you!!!!

[AlohaAngelique]

Very good representation, thank you. I did find the rhythm and melody to be rather overstimulating, but that may be due to the fact that I'm a musician and psych student, and tune in (analyze) such factors. I'll be watching it several times as I continue to study the brain. Thanks again!

[dannichols]

NICELY done! Very nice 3D modeling, actual (rather than computer-generated) captions, and then in addition the presentation of the actual script itself! And a speaking voice that's well able to understand. Thank you!

[kritipanwar]

An excellent video to learn about Brain Stem in depth. Starting ventricles : )

[gabrielaribeirosoerensen]

These 3D visuals are so helpfull!! thank you!

[jodywilson]

My daughter was in a car accident and it severed the cerebral penduncles. That's what her autopsy showed. I can only guess it got severed by the force of the hit, like whiplash.

This has become a meditation routine of mine at this point xD Very informative video ! very relaxing as well

[drgswhk]

You deserve more subscribers, likes and blessings.

[anthonybrogan]

This excellent and makes the subject more understandable.

[christinagiannaros]

These series are so great for revision and learning, thank you.

[supreethar]

beautiful explanation that clarified my doubts. thank
