As we will see in the remainder of the book, a fruitful way to explore the
nervous system is to divide it up into functional systems. Thus, the otfac-
tlry systemconsistsof those parts of the brain that are devoted to the sense
of smell, the visual systemincludes those parts that are devoted to vision,

brain. Gross inspection reveals the three major parts: the
large cerebrum, the brain stem that forms its stalk, and
the rippled cerebellum. The diminutive olfacrory bulb of
the cerebrum can also be seen in this lateral view.

(d) Major Sensory, Ivlotor, and Association Areas of
Cortex. The cerebral cortex is organized like a patch-
work quilt. The various areas, first identified by Brod-
mann, differ from one another in terms of microscopic
structure and function. Visual areas L7, 18, and l9
(Chapter l0) are in the occipital lobe, somatic sensory
areas l, l, and 2 (Chapter 12) are in the parietal lobe,
and auditory areas4l and 42 (Chapter lI) are in the
temporal lobe. On the inferior surface of the parietal
lobe (the operculum) and buried in the insula is gusta-
tory area 43, devoted to the sense of taste (Chapter 8).
In addition to the analysis of sensory information. the
cerebral cortex plays an important role in the control of
voluntary movement. The major motor control areas-
primary motor cortex (area 4). the supplementary motor
area, and the premotor area-lie in the frontal lobe, an-
terior to the central sulcus (Chapter I4). In the human
brain, large expanses of cortex cannot be simply assigned
to sensory or motor functions. These constitute the as-
sociation areas of cortex. Some of the more important
areasare the prefrontal cortex (Chapters 2l and 24), the

body, lying atop the thalamus, secretesmelatonin and is
involved in the regulation of sleep and sexual behavior
(Chaptersl7 and l9). The superior colliculusreceives
direct input from the eyes (Chapter l0) and is involved in
the control of eye movements (Chapter l4), while the irr-
ferior colliculusis an important component of the auditory
system (Chapter Ill. (Colliculzsis Latin for "mound.") The

V CROSS.SECTIONALANATOMY
O F T H E B R A IN
Understanding the brain requires that we peer inside it,
and this is accomplished by making cross sections. Cross
sections can be made physically with a knife or, in the
case of noninvasive imaging of the living brain, digitally
with an MRI or a CT scan. For learning the internal or-
ganization of the brain, the best approach is to make
cross sections that are perpendicular to the axis defined
by the embryonic neural tube, called the neuraxis. Tll'e
neuraxis bends as the human fetus grows, particularly at
ForebrainSections

v cRoss-sEcroNALANAToMy
oFTHEBRATN 247
the junction of the midbrain and thalamus. Conse-
quently, the best plane of section depends on exactly
where along the neuraxis we are looking.
In this part of the Guide, we take a look at drawings
of a series of cross-sectional slabs of the brain, showing
the internal structure of the forebrain (cross sections
l-3), the midbrain (crosssections4 and 5), the pons and
cerebellum (crosssection 6), and the medulla (crosssec-
tions 7-9). The drawings are schematic. meaning that
structures within the slab are sometimes projected onto
the slab's visible surface.

the medial geniculatenucleus relays information to the
auditory cortex (Chapter lt). Also notice the location of
the hippocampus, a relatively simple form of cerebral
cortex bordering the lateral ventricle of the temporal
lobe. The hippocampus(Greek for "seahorse")plays an
important role in learning and memory (Chapters 24

Cross Section 4: Rostral Midbrain

We are now at the midbrain. The plane of section has
been angled relative to the forebrain sections, so that it
remains perpendicular to the neuraxis. The core of the
midbrain is the small cerebral aqueduct. Here, the roof
of the midbrain, also called the tectum (Latin for "roof"),
consists of the paired superior colliculi. As discussed
earlier, the superior colliculus is a part of the visual
system (Chapter i0) and the substantianigra is a part of
the motor system (Chapter t4). The red nucleus is also
a motor control structure (Chapter l4), while the peri-
aqueductal gray is important in the control of somatic
pain sensations(Chapter l2).

Cross Section 5: Caudal Midbrain

The caudal midbrain appearsvery similar to the rostral
midbrain. At this level, however, the roof is formed by
the inferior colliculi(part of the auditory system;Chap-
ter I I ) instead of by the superior colliculi. Review the
dorsal view of the brain stem to see how the superior
and inferior colliculi are situatedrelative to each other.

Cross Section 6: Ponsand Cerebellum

This section shows the pons and cerebellum, parts of the
rostral hindbrain that border the fourth ventricle. As
mentioned earlier, the cerebellum is important in the
control of movement. Much of the input to the cerebel-
lar cortex derives from the pontine nuclei, while the
output of the cerebellum is from neurons of the deep
cerebellar nuclei (Chapter 14). The reticular formation
(reticulumis Latin for "net") runs from the midbrain to
the medulla at the core of the brain stem,just under the
cerebralaqueduct and fourth ventricle. One function of
the reticular formation is to regulate sleep and wake-
fulness(Chapterl9). In addition,a function of the pon-
tine reticular formation is to control body posture
(Chapterl4).

Cross Section 7: Rostral Medulla

As we move farther caudally along the neuraxis,the
brain surrounding the fourth ventricle becomesthe
medulla. The medulla is a complex region of the brain.
Here we focus only on those structureswhose functions
are discussedlater in the book. At the very floor of the
medulla lie the medullary pyramids,huge bundlesof ax-
ons descendingfrom the forebrain toward the spinal
cord. The pyramids contain the corticospinaltracts,
which are involved in the control of voluntary move-
ment (Chapter14). Severalnuclei that are important for
hearing are also found in the rostral medulla: the dorsal
and ventralcochlearnucleiand the superiorolive (Chap-
ter ll). Also shown are the inferior olive, important for
motor control (Chaptert4), and the raphe nucleus,im-
portant for the modulation of pain, mood, and wakeful-
ness (Chapters12, 19, and 22\.

CrossSection 8: Mid-Medulla
The mid-medulla contains some of the same structures
labeled in cross section 7. Notice also the medial lemnis-
cus (Latin for "ribbon"). The medial lemniscus contains
axons bringing information about somatic sensation to
the thalamus (Chapter 12). The gustatory nucleus,
serving the sense of taste (Chapter 8), is part of a larger
nucleus of the solitary tract, which regulates aspectsof
v i s c e r a lf u n c t i o n ( C h a p t e r s l 5 a n d l 6 ) . T h e v e s l i b u l a r

V THE SPINAL CORD
The Dorsal Surface of the Spinal Cord
and Spinal Nerves
The spinal cord lies within the vertebral column. The
spinal nerves, a part of the somatic PNS, communicate
with the cord via notches between the vertebrae. The
vertebrae are described according to their location. In
the neck, they are called cervical vertebrae and are
numbered from Cl to C7. The vertebrae attached to ribs
are called thoracic vertebrae and are numbered from Tl
to T12. The five vertebrae of the lower back are called
lumbar, and those within the pelvic area are called
s a c r al .
The spinal nerves and the associatedsegments of the
spinal cord adopt the names of the vertebrae; eight cer-
vical nerves are associatedwith seven cervical vertebrae.
Also. the spinal cord in the adult human ends at about
the level of the third lumbar vertebra. This disparity
arisesbecausethe spinal cord does not grow after birth,
whereas the spinal column does. The bundles of spinal
nerves streaming down within the lumbar and sacral
vertebral column are called the cauda equina (Latin for
"horse's
tail").

The Ventral-Lateral Surface

This view shows how the spinal nerves attach to the
spinal cord and how the spinal meninges are organized.
As the nerve passesinto the vertebral notch (not shown),
it splits into two roots. The dorsal root carries sensory
axons whose cell bodies lie in the dorsal root ganglia.
The ventral root carries motor axons arising from the
gray matter of the ventral spinal cord. The butterfly-
shaped core of the spinal cord is gray matter consisting
of neuronal cell bodies. The gray matter is divided into
the dorsal, lateral, and ventral horns. Notice how the
organization of gray and white matter in the spinal cord
differs from that in the forebrain. In the forebrain, the
gray matter surrounds the white matter; in the spinal
cord, it is the other way around. The thick shell of white
matter, containing the long axons that run up and down
the cord, is divided into three columns: the dorsal
columns, the lateral columns, and the ventral columns.

C ross-Sectional Anatomy
Illustrated in this view are some of the important tracts
of axons running up and down the spinal cord. On the
left side, the major ascending sensory pathways are in-
dicated. The entire dorsal column consistsof sensory ax-
ons ascending to the brain. This pathway is important
for the conscious appreciation of touch. The spinothala-
mic tract carries information about painful stimuli and
temperature. The somatic sensory system is the topic of
Chapter 12.
On the right side are some of the descending tracts im-
portant for the control of movement (Chapter I4). The
names of the tracts accurately describe their origins and
terminations (e.9., the vestibulospinal tract originates in
the vestibular nuclei of the medulla and terminates in
the spinal cord). The descending tracts contribute to two
pathways: the lateral and ventromedial pathways. The
lateral pathway carries the commands for voluntary
movements, especially of the extremities. The ventro-
medial pathway participates primarily in the mainte-
nance of posture and certain reflex movements.

V THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUSSYSTEM

In addition to the somatic PNS, which is devoted largely
to the voluntary control of movement and conscious
skin sensations,there is the visceral PNS, devoted to the
regulation of the internal organs, glands, and vascula-
ture. Because this regulation occurs automatically and is
not under direct conscious control, this system is called
the autonomic nervous system, or ANS. The two most
important divisions of the ANS are the sympathetic and
p ar a s y m p a t h e t i cd i v i s i o n s .
The illustration on the facing page shows the cavity of
the body as it appearswhen it has been sectioned sagit-
tally at the level of the eye. Notice the verrebral column,
which is encasedin a thick wall of connective tissue.The
spinal nerves can be seen emerging from the column.
Notice that the sympathetic division of the ANS consists
of a chain of ganglia that runs along the side of the ver-
tebral column. These syrnpathetic ganglia communicate
with the spinal nerves, with one another, and with a
large number of internal organs.
The parasympathetic division of the ANS is organized
quite differently. Much of the parasympathericinnerva-
tion of the viscera arises from the vagus nerve, one of
the cranial nerves emerging from the medulla. The other
m a j o r s o u r c eo f p a r a s y r n l ) a t h e t ifci b c r si s t h e s a c r a ls p i n a l
nerves.
The two divisions of the ANS exert opposite effects
on body physiology. For example, the sympathetic nerv-
ous system speedsheart rate, while the parasympa-
thetic nervous system slows it down. In general, the
sympathetic division is activated to prepare the body
for stressful conditions, such as escaping danger,
whereas the parasympathetic division is most active
under vegetative conditions, such as digesting a large
meal. (The functional organization of the ANS is dis-
