Description
The brainstem is a complex series of nuclei and interconnections divided into 3 primary component, midbrain, pons and medulla. The conceptual framework of a house serves as a model to teach the brainstem anatomy. The attic is the 'Mickey Mouse' shaped midbrain, overlying the 1st floor 'bridge' of the pons, and the 'butterfly' basement of the medulla. These 3 structures share rich connections with the cerebellum (the 'garage' of the posterior fossa house).
