Brainstem & Cerebellum

In these pages you will consider the following brain regions:

Brainstem

	medulla oblongata
	pons
	midbrain

Cerebellum

These regions are in your book on pages 401 - 405.

We will consider the brainstem and cerebellum on separate web pages. But I put them together here because of the fact that the cerebellum grows off the pons during embryonic development. So I want you to keep that in mind and think about the cerebellum as a lower brain region, not one that is high up in location.
