Let me share with you a comparison between Forebrain and Hindbrain.
| Aspect | Forebrain | Hindbrain |
| Location | · Located at the anterior part of the brain, comprising the largest portion | · Located at the posterior part of the brain, near the base of the skull |
| Subdivisions | · Diencephalon
· Telencephalon |
· Metencephalon
· Myelencephalon |
| Parts and functions
|
· Thalamus serve as sensory relay center
· Hypothalamus controls the autonomic nervous system, body temperature and hormone releasing. · Cerebrum is responsible for thinking, problem-solving and emotions. |
· Medulla Oblongata regulates heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure
· Pons serves as a relay station for signals between different parts of the brain and spinal cord · Cerebellum coordinates motor movements, balance and posture
|
| Size | · Relatively larger in size as compared to the hindbrain | · Smaller in size as compared to the forebrain |
| Connectivity with other brain parts | · Interconnected with midbrain and hindbrain. | · Connects with the spinal cord and other brain regions through various pathways and tracts |
