May 9, 2023 · The midbrain functions as a relay system, transmitting information necessary for vision and hearing. It also plays an important role in motor movement, pain, and the sleep/wake cycle. The midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a part of the central nervous system.

May 26, 2023 · The midbrain is the smallest of the three regions of the brainstem, measuring around 2cm in length. As it ascends, the midbrain travels through the opening in the tentorium cerebelli. It can be divided into two main parts: Tectum – located posterior to the cerebral aqueduct. Paired cerebral peduncles – located anteriorly and laterally.

The major function of the cerebellum is coordination of motor activity, posture, and equilibrium. From the midsagittal surface, the most visible feature of the cerebellum is the cerebellar cortex, a continuous layered sheet of cells folded into ridges and valleys called folia.

midbrain, region of the developing vertebrate brain that is composed of the tectum and tegmentum. The midbrain serves important functions in motor movement, particularly movements of the eye, and in auditory and visual processing.
Sagittal view of the brainstem showing corticopontine fibers relaying motor signals to the pontine nuclei, which then communicate with the cerebellum via the middle cerebellar peduncle.
