Answer to Question 1

The central nervous system can be divided into the spinal cord and four major regions of the brain: the brain stem, the cerebellum, the diencephalon (i.e., the between brain), and the cerebral hemispheres. Of these neurosubstrate areas, the brain stem can be divided into the medulla, pons, and midbrain (i.e., mesencephalon). The diencephalon is subdivided into the thalamus and the hypothalamus. And the cerebral hemispheres, the largest area of the brain, are divided into the neocortex (otherwise known as the cerebral cortex, the convoluted gray outer covering of the brain) and its underlying white matter and the deeper structures of the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus.
