Document Summary
Increases the surface area of neural tissue, leading to greater capacity for functioning. Regardless of the cause, speculate about some symptoms of having smooth brain. Smooth brain results in limited mental capacity, resulting in severe intellectual disability and slowed physical development. It is usually incompatible with life beyond 10 years. Grey matter is made up of groups of cell bodies of neurons. It can be found in the cerebral cortex, as well as inner areas of the brain. The area of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord. Situated just below the diencephalon and is comprised of the midbrain, the pons and the medulla oblongata. Contains many autonomic reflex centers and white matter tracts necessary for human functioning and survival. Midbrain: most superior aspect off the brainstem, anteriorly, the midbrain consists of large white matter tracts that make up the cerebral peduncles, from a postero-lateral view, the midbrain has two pairs of raised bumps,
