In this video I explain the main regions of the brain: the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, as well as the difference between the "old" and "new" brain in evolutionary terms. Then the location and function of four main areas of the hindbrain (medulla, reticular formation, cerebellum, and pons) are explained.
