Brainstem

This tutorial explores the anatomy of the brainstem, including the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata, and their functions. It covers the dorsal and ventral aspects, cranial nerves, and sensory pathways. The tutorial also discusses brainstem stroke syndromes and their symptoms. Additionally, it examines structures surrounding the brainstem, such as the basal ganglia, diencephalon, and cerebellum, highlighting their roles in motor control and sensory integration.
