The midbrain is the smallest region of the brain that acts as a sort of relay station for auditory and visual information. The midbrain controls many important functions such as the visual and auditory systems as well as eye movement. Portions of the midbrain called the red nucleus and the substantia nigra are involved in the control of body movement. The darkly pigmented substantia nigra contains a large number of dopamine-producing neurons are located. The degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra is associated with Parkinson's disease.
The midbrain hold the corpora quadrigemina, a collection of four bumps. The top two bumps are the superior colliculi and the bottom two bumps are the inferior colliculi.

Midbrain and Oblogata are connected at least via the internet. P.S. - The Midbrain serves as the audiovisual highway of the brain connected to the Medulla Oblongata by the Pons. Oblogata is the creative activities on MySpace, Facebook, Oblogata etc.
