complex network of nuclei involved in integrative functions: control of complex movements, transmission of pain info, vital functions, consciousness
regulating posture and coordinating eye and head movements
consists of midbrain, pons, medulla
nuclei for really of proprioceptive and discriminative touch for dorsal column-medial lemniscus system
contains pyramids, inferior olivary complex, dorsal column nuclei, vestibular nuclei, reticular formation
two large cylindrical masses on ventral surface of midbrain containing descending motor fibers from the cortex
site of origin of a descending pain-control pathway
major link in the auditory system
involved in regulating posture and coordinating eye and head movements
"climbing fibers" to cerebellum that are involved in motor learning
nuclei in the basal pons that receive inputs from the cerebral cortex and project to contralateral cerebellum
involved in cerebellum circuitry and in control of limb movements, especially shaping the hand during reaching
consists of pontine nuclei, cerebellar peduncles, vestibular nuclei, reticular formation
involved in directing visual attention and controlling eye movements
consists of cerebral peduncles, red nucleus, cerebral aqueduct, superior & inferior colliculi
two rounded masses on the ventral surface of the medulla containing motor fibers
three paired fiber bundles connecting the cerebellum and brainstem via cerebellar afferents and efferents
