Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the mammalian brain, which is divided into three main parts: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.
Identify the components of the forebrain. The forebrain, also known as the prosencephalon, includes the cerebrum, thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
Recognize that the cerebrum is a major part of the forebrain, responsible for higher brain functions such as thought and action.
Note that the thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex, while the hypothalamus regulates vital functions like temperature and hunger.
Understand that the epithalamus includes structures such as the pineal gland, which is involved in regulating circadian rhythms.
