Integrates input from different

senses and is important for spatial
orientation and navigation.

Visual
processing

Processes sound and language and

includes the hippocampus and
amygdala, which play roles in memory
and emotion, respectively.

The primary functions of the brainstem include: relaying information

between the brain and the body; supplying some of the cranial nerves to
the face and head; and performing critical functions in controlling the
heart, breathing and consciousness.

The thalamus relays

sensory and motor
signals to the cortex
and regulates the
consciousness, sleep
and alertness

The hypothalamus connects the

nervous system to the endocrine
system

Neural System Development

This tube is
closed in the
25th day. In the
four week the
neural tube
becomes bent
on itself in two
flexures. The
first flexure
named the
ventral cephalic
flexure and the
second flexure
named cervical
flexure. This
flexures divided
the neural tube
in 3 vesicles.
