Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is responsible for reflexive, involuntary fine-tuning of motor control and for maintaining balance and posture through extensive neural connections with the medulla and with the midbrain. The cerebrum is the site of higher brain function. The diencephalon controls vital functions and visceral activities and is closely associated with those of the limbic system. The brainstem contains the reticular formation which is a large network of diffuse nuclei that connect the brainstem to the cortex and control vital reflexes, such as cardiovascular function and respiration. It is essential for maintaining wakefulness and attention.
