What injury would be the most damaging to survival out of the cerebral cortex brain stem cerebellum and hypothalamus?

Brain stem which controls breathing and heart rate.
The lower the parts in the brain the more basic the functions the higher in the brain the more complex and evolved the function.

Why the hypothalamus is important to the pituitary gland?
The hypothalamus is important for survival because it maintains the body's homeostasis. This means that it maintains body temperature, blood pressure, and many other vital parts of survival. It also houses the pituitary gland, which releases vital hormones.
Could you live without braincells?
No, because hypothalamus is the control center of homeostasis without it, it would be impossible to live. Hypothalamus controls almost vital functions for survival. such as: respirations, digestion, blood pressures, heart rate, and among many other things.
How does the cerebral cortex effect taste?
The sense of taste is actually in the brain stem. This is a VERY primitive part of the central nervous system and is found in primitive organisms so it must be important in survival.
What part of the brain deals most with sleep?
The part of the brain that is primarily involved in sleep is the hypothalamus. Within the hypothalamus, there are specific regions that regulate sleep-wake cycles, such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO). These regions interact with other brain areas to control the timing and duration of sleep.
Natural selection is also known as the survival of the what?
It is also known as Survival of the Fittest.
What is the hypothalamus is concerned with?
regulation of basic survival

What structure in the brain plays a role in drives associated with survival of the individual and the species?
The Hypothalamus
A brain structure involved in emotions and drives vital to survival such as fear hunger thirst and reproduction is?
hypothalamus
Where is the limbic located?
It's not really a structure. The thalamus and the hypothalamus are associated with parts of the cerebral cortex and deep nuclei of the cerebrum to form a complex known as the limbic system. the limbic system is involved in memory and in emotions such as sadness, happiness, anger and fear. It seems to regulate emotional behavior, especially behavior that enhances survival.

No, because hypothalamus is the control center of homeostasis without it, it would be impossible to live. Hypothalamus controls almost vital functions for survival. such as: respirations, digestion, blood pressures, heart rate, and among many other things.
If the connection between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus were severed how would this effect the secretion of epinephrine?
The connection between the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus is necessary for survival because specific releasing hormones in the hypothalamus trigger the production and release of hormones made in the ant. pit. Seeing how the secretion of epinephrine would be triggered in the adrenal medula by a hormone produced in the ant. pit., I believe that the secretion of epinephrine would not occur if the connection between the hypothalamus and ant. pit. were to be severed.

What is in the limbic system?
The limbic system is concerned with processes involved with memory and visceral and motor responses to emotion. Two of the more important structures of the limbic system are the hippocampus which is necessary for converting short-term to long-term memory Also the amygdala which ties memories together with emotion. the portions of the limbic system also allow us to know that we are holding something ie: a key in our hand without looking at it. It is important to realize that the limbic system comprises many different structures that are needed for day to day living.

Can a fetus with Spina Bifida with hydrocephelus and split cerebellum live?
It is going to depend on where the damage lies in the cerebellum, the amount and type of damage from the hydrocephalus and the defects in other organs that are possibly undiagnosed at this time. When a baby presents with such severe defects of one system as these, quite often defects in other systems that make the out look for long term survival poor.The cerebellum is located just above the brain stem and toward the back of the brain, it plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception, coordination and motor control. Science now knows the cerebellum also has a broader role in a number of key cognitive functions such as, the ability to pay attention, processing language and music and visual stimulation.There are specialists currently looking for volunteers to participate in on going studies if anyone can give your baby a shot at life, this would be the place.
What are the first four goals?
Survival for yourself, survival for your immediate family, survival for extended family, survival for your local community.
