1 Chapter 14, Part 1! The Brain and Cranial Nerves! pp ! SECTION 14-1! The brain has several principal structures, each with specific functions! Herculano-Houzel and her colleagues used a technique to analyze the brains of four deceased men and published their results in 2009: they consistently found a whole human brain glia to neuron ratio of almost exactly 1:1. Specifically, they found that the human brain contains about billion cells, 86.1 billion of which are neurons and 84.6 billion of which are glial cells. ( brainwaves/2012/06/13/know-your-neurons-what-is-theratio-of-glia-to-neurons-in-the-brain/ )! 2! Principal Parts 1! 1. Brain stem! Medulla! Pons! Midbrain (mesencephalon)! 2. Cerebellum (2 hemispheres)! 3. Diencephalon! Thalamus! Hypothalamus (Infundibulum connects to pituitary)! Epithalamus! Pineal gland, choroid plexus! 3! 1!

Embryology of the Brain! Neural tube with neurocoel = a hollow tube! Develops primary brain vesicles! 1. Prosencephalon ( forebrain )! 2. Mesencephalon ( midbrain )! 3. Rhombencephalon ( hindbrain )! Primary vesicles develop into secondary vesicles! 5! Secondary Brain Vesicles! 1. Prosencephalon becomes:! A. Telencephalon cerebrum! B. Diencephalon! 2. Mesencephalon midbrain! 3.
