| | Introduction to V514 Neuroanatomy |
| | The prosencephalon subdivides into telencephalon and diencephalon, the mesencephalon undergoes the least change while the rhombencephalon forms the metencephalon and the myelencephalon. | | | Cerebellum: This organ is concerned with execution of complex pattern movements carried out at "subconscious" levels i.e., with efficiency of muscle movements such as walking, handling a fork and writing. | | | This region is a higher reflex center which controls various body functions and serves as a sensory relay station. |

| | Furthermore, Magnus asserted that "it has been proved that the center for the control of the postural reflexes extends from the first cervical segment of the spinal cord to the anterior portion of the mesencephalon or mid-brain." In German, the term for this is "Korperstellungsapparat," which conditions the tone of the anti-gravity muscles. | | | The stimulation of the reflexes connected with them are largely influenced by the position of the head and neck in relationship to the rest of the body. | | | One of the important mechanisms which mediate such efficiency are the tonic neck reflexes which control posture in all vertebrates. |

| | The substantia nigra is closely associated with motor system pathways of the basal ganglia. | | | In biological anatomy, the mesencephalon (or midbrain) is the middle of three vesicles that arise from the neural tube that forms the brain of developing animals. | | | The mesencephalon is considered part of the brain stem or the midbrain. |
