What section of the brain is located inferior to the cerebrum and posterior to the brainstem?

The cerebellum


The little brain attached to the rear of the brainstem is called?

spinal cord


How is the cerebellum physically connected to the brainstem?

The brainstem sits between large organs -- the brain (including cerebrum and cerebellum) and spinal cord -- and is directly connected to them. The three segments of the brainstem (the midbrain, pons, and medulla) also give rise to most of the twelve cranial nerves (excluding cranial nerves I, II, and arguably XI).


What is the section of the human encephalon which comprises the pons cerebellum and medulla?

These two structures are located in the brainstem which is the most posterior part of the brain.


What are the 3 parts of your brain called?

Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain.The above terms relate to the developing vertebrate brain, but from a purely visual perspective, you could also say that the three parts of the brain are the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, and Brainstem, where the cerebrum is the 'main' wrinkled top part of the brain (divided into two hemispheres), and the cerebellum is the two somewhat flattened parts which hang under the rear of the brain, and the brainstem is the part that comes from the spinal cord and is the 'base' of the brain.It's true, however, that the Forebrain contains other structures besides the Cerebrum, such as the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, subthalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus, and the cerebellum and brainstem are both considered to be parts of the hindbrain.
