Question

Describe mid brain and it's functions

Answer 1

The midbrain is an area of the brain that, as you might have guessed, is in the middle of two other regions: the forebrain and the hindbrain. The forebrain is the 'front' (fore) brain and is composed of the cerebral cortex, the area that most people think of as the 'brain'; it's the 'supercomputer' of the human body. The hindbrain, or 'back' (hind) brain, is composed of the cerebellum and the pons and the medulla oblongata (or medulla, for short) of the brainstem; it is evolutionarily the oldest part of our brain, controlling primal instincts and automated actions of the body, such as our 'fight or flight' response and heart rate.

The midbrain, on the other hand, acts most notably as the information superhighway connecting these two regions. It enables your brain to integrate sensory information from your eyes and ears with your muscle movements, thereby enabling your body to use this information to make fine adjustments to your movements.

IT'S FUNCTIONS

It balances right brain and left brain, so optimum function of brain can be achieved.

There are many functions of the midbrain, including body temperature regulation, motor control i.e. body movements, and sleep cycles control.

The midbrain controls all of the responses related to sensory information and regulating the body’s actions to those responses.

The midbrain are generally responsible for unconscious reactions to external stimuli i.e. subconscious mind.

The midbrain acts as a sort of relay station for auditory and visual information.it controls the visual and auditory systems and touch senses and eye movement.

The midbrain controls and regulates dopamine production which is responsible for movements, memory, pleasurable reward, behavior and cognition, attention, sleep, mood, learning.
