Select a structure to find its course relationships. Coloured regions provide anatomical context; they are not precise functional maps.
How the list is grouped
Start with the cerebral lobes and hidden or medial cortex, then explore deep nuclei and white-matter connections. Next come the diencephalon and its neighbouring pituitary, followed by brainstem, cerebellum and ventricular fluid spaces. Within a group, start with the whole structure and expand its parts. This is a route for exploring the anatomy, not an order of neural processing.
The basal ganglia are grouped as a connected system: STN lies in the diencephalon, while the substantia nigra is listed under midbrain. The amygdala remains a separate nuclear complex, following Topic 4 ML4. The hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus are medial temporal structures; mammillary bodies belong to the hypothalamus. Entries appear once in the list, and their guides explain relationships across groups.
