major link in the auditory system
involved in directing visual attention and controlling eye movements
regulating posture and coordinating eye and head movements
consists of midbrain, pons, medulla
consists of cerebral peduncles, red nucleus, cerebral aqueduct, superior & inferior colliculi
nuclei for really of proprioceptive and discriminative touch for dorsal column-medial lemniscus system
two large cylindrical masses on ventral surface of midbrain containing descending motor fibers from the cortex
two rounded masses on the ventral surface of the medulla containing motor fibers
involved in cerebellum circuitry and in control of limb movements, especially shaping the hand during reaching
three paired fiber bundles connecting the cerebellum and brainstem via cerebellar afferents and efferents
contains pyramids, inferior olivary complex, dorsal column nuclei, vestibular nuclei, reticular formation
"climbing fibers" to cerebellum that are involved in motor learning
involved in regulating posture and coordinating eye and head movements
complex network of nuclei involved in integrative functions: control of complex movements, transmission of pain info, vital functions, consciousness
site of origin of a descending pain-control pathway
nuclei in the basal pons that receive inputs from the cerebral cortex and project to contralateral cerebellum
consists of pontine nuclei, cerebellar peduncles, vestibular nuclei, reticular formation
