Figure 3.8 Cortical Development
This cross section through the cerebral cortex shows it early in its development. The radially oriented fibers of glial cells help to guide the migration of newly formed neurons from the ventricular zone to their final resting place in the cerebral cortex. Each successive wave of neurons passes neurons that migrated earlier, so the most recently formed neurons occupy layers closer to the cortical surface.

This figure shows (a) a lateral view of a semitransparent brain, showing the cerebellum and brain stem ghosted in, (b) a view from the back of the brain, and (c) a dorsal view of the brain stem. The left hemisphere of the cerebellum and part of the right hemisphere have been removed to show the inside of the fourth ventricle and the cerebellar peduncles. Part (d) shows a cross section of the midbrain.

Structure and Function of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (1 of 3)
Cranial Nerves
Cranial nerves attached to ventral surface of brain
Most serve sensory and motor functions of head and neck region
Vagus nerve regulates functions of organs in thoracic and abdominal cavities
