a.
To determine: The location and function of the reticular formation.
Introduction: The mesencephalon, the pons, and the medulla oblongata together form the brainstem.
b.
To determine: The location and function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Introduction: The diencephalon part of the brain gives rise to thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
c.
To determine: The location and function of basal nuclei.
Introduction: The CNS (central nervous system) has two types of tissues: white matter and gray matter.
d.
To determine: The location and function of the limbic system.
Introduction: The main parts of the limbic system are amygdala, hippocampus, and sections of the thalamus.
e.
To determine: The location and functions of the amygdala and hippocampus.
Introduction: The hippocampus is a layered structure and usually has three to five layers of cells and fibers. It is a part of the limbic system.
