Prosencephalon (forebrain)
- Telencephalon (Cerebral Lobes; Basal Ganglia)
- Diencephalon (Thalamus; Hypothalamus; Epithalamus; Subthalamus)
In the next few sections we will introduce the brainstem. More detail will be given in future labs; for now just learn the major parts:

- Mesencephalon (midbrain)
- Rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
- Metencephalon (pons, cerebellum)
- Myelencephalon (medulla)
