In this video I continue covering parts of the brain, explaining regions of the midbrain including the tegmentum, the substantia nigra, and the tectum. I also discuss the limitations of using 2D images when learning about brain structures, the use of "flowery" language for describing brain structures, and problems with somewhat arbitrary borders for brain regions (such as determining whether the reticular formation is part of the hindbrain or the midbrain).
