#forebrain__prosencephalon the anterior portion of the brain; the part of the brain that develops from the anterior part of the neural tube
supertype: neural_structure a structure that is part of the nervous system
part of: encephalon
part: peduncle a bundle of myelinated neurons joining different parts of the brain
part: corpus_callosum a broad transverse nerve tract connecting the two cerebral hemispheres
part: telencephalon the anterior division of the forebrain; the cerebrum and related parts of the hypothalamus
part: cerebrum anterior portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans
part: cerebral_hemisphere__hemisphere either half of the cerebrum
part: cerebral_cortex__cerebral_mantle__pallium the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the gray matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum
part: Golgi's_cell__Golgi_cell a neuron in the cerebral cortex with short dendrites and with either a long axon or a short axon that ramifies in the gray matter
part: cortical_area__cortical_region any of various regions of the cerebral cortex
part: frontal_lobe__frontallobe that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying directly behind the forehead
part: frontal_area__frontalarea__frontal_cortex__frontalcortex the cortex of the frontal lobe
part: precentral_gyrus the convolution of the frontal lobe that is bounded in back by the central gyrus
part: prefrontal_lobe the anterior part of the frontal lobe
part: parietal_lobe that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying below the crown of the head
part: postcentral_gyrus__postcentralgyru the convolution of parietal lobe that is bounded in front by the central gyrus
part: occipital_lobe__occipitallobe that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying in the back of the head
part: temporal_lobe that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying inside the temples of the head
part: amygdala__amygdaloid_nucleus__corpus_amygdaloideum an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behavior
part: gyrus__gyru__convolution a convex fold or elevation in the surface of the brain
part: diencephalon__interbrain__betweenbrain__thalmencephalon the posterior division of the forebrain; connects the cerebral hemispheres with the mesencephalon
part: third_eye__thirdeye__pineal_eye a sensory structure capable of light reception located on the dorsal side of the diencephalon in various reptiles
part: basal_ganglion__basalganglion any of several masses of subcortical gray matter in each cerebral hemisphere that seem to be involved in the regulation of voluntary movement
part: thalamus large egg-shaped structures of gray matter that form the dorsal subdivision of the diencephalon
part: geniculate_body one of four small oval masses that protrude slightly from the underside of the thalamus and function as synaptic centers on the way to the cerebral cortex
part: hypothalamus a basal part of the diencephalon governing autonomic nervous system
