What forms the anterior portion of the midbrain?
Cerebral peduncle
What is the portion of the brain that contains cerebral peduncles?
The Midbrain
What dose the cerebral cortex do?
The cerebral cortex is where voluntary muscle movement, thought, reasoning, and memory occur.
What forms the outer layer of the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex is actually the covering layer. It is a thin layer of tissue that covers the part of the brain called the cerebrum.
How does the cerebral cortex overrides the reflex?
The cerebral cortex can not over ride reflexes. Reflex are mediated at the level of the spinal cord.
What relays sensory stimuli from the spinal cord and midbrain to the cerebral cortex.?
thalamus.
What are the parts of the subcortex?
brainstem(or hindbrain), the midbrain, and the forebrain(which also includes the cerebral cortex
What are the major parts of the subcortex?
Basal Ganglia, Limbic system, diencephalon, midbrain, hindbrain
The serves as a relay station between the hindbrain and the forebrain?
midbrain
The relays sensory stimuli from the spinal cord and midbrain to the cerebral cortex?
cranial nerves are part of what nervous system
What does the midbrain do?
The midbrain relays sensory information signals to the cerebral cortex and carries motor commands to reflex centers. It controls ear and eye reflexes and the processing of pain, temperature, and touch.
Is the midbrain in the brainstem?
The midbrain is the final piece of the brain stem. This section deals with motor and sensory nerve bundles.These nerves carry impulses from the cerebral cortex to the pons and the spinal cord. The midbrain also contains nerves that conduct energy to the thalamus.
Do crickets have a cerebral cortex?
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.
Do pigs have a cerebral cortex?
Yes, pigs have a cerebral cortex.
What is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain?
Acetylcholine- it is widespread throughout the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and brain stem. Norepinephrine- it is located in the brain stem, particularly in the locus coeruleus of the midbrain; limbic system; some areas of the cerebral cortex. Dopamine- located in the substantia nigra of the midbrain; hypothalamus; is the principal neurotransmitter of the extrapyramidal system.

What is another name for the cerebral cortex?
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
What is in the cerebral cortex?
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
