This

[edit]

this is a duplicate of 'midbrain'

'midbrain' and 'mesencephalon' are the same thing --

Categorization

[edit]

Should this be in Category:Brainstem instead of in Category:Cerebrum? This would be consistent with the list of regions in the human brain. Courtland 03:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --David Iberri (talk) 15:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

diagram?

[edit]

Can the caption of the lower half of the diagram at the upper right corner of the page (the "coronal section") be clearer as to the orientation, that is, which sides of the diagram are front/back, left/right and/or top/bottom? Thank you. 38.100.34.2 23:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cerebral Peduncle

[edit]

This part is written so poorly, I'm unable to clean it up myself. Can someone please have a look at it? Preferably with a sturdy broom.

I would like to second that! This section is very poorly written and needs to be reviewed and revised to be understandable. English, people! Adamlankford (talk) 23:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hard To Understand

[edit]

I'm just trying to review over my psychology notes quickly and this article is incredibly difficult to understand. Way too many scientific words used that don't link to explaining articles. Is it possible we could dumb this article down a bit? Predator47 (talk) 19:23, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MesencephalonMidbrain — Should we make the title of this article less technical, or is that not necessary? Bwrs (talk) 06:21, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request for expansion

[edit]

This article gives an adequate treatment of the origin and structure of the midbrain, but needs more information on its functions. Bwrs (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what is the structure between the rostral portion of midbrain and the posterior pituitary?

[edit]

At the side of the section of this article titled, 'Cerebral peduncles', there's a picture (for some reason? although it doesn't seem to relate to cerebral peduncles.) labeled, "Brain anatomy – forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain", and in that picture in teal color there's a linear structure between the midbrain and the pituitary. It does not seem to me that it is simply a 'part' of the midbrain. I've seen that same structure shown but not defined in other pictures on the internet, also. Does that structure have a name?

A couple of suggestions and a question

[edit]

1. Cleanup the use of solo hyphens where dashes or colons are needed.

2. The first sentence of the second paragraph under Midbrain#Structure does not belong there; so, it should be deleted or moved.

3. Is the midbrain in fact associated with vision and hearing, as the top of the article claims? The visual cortex and the auditory cortex are located in the cerebrum, not in the midbrain. 2A0D:6FC2:6A92:3F00:0:0:0:5F9 (talk) 10:00, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
