| In the nervous system the small size of the hindbrain or cerebellum is noticeable. |
| Each of the three different regions of the hindbrain helps coordinate specific functions and activities. |
| Our focus on hindbrain was motivated by the observation that the hindbrains of all vertebrates are segmentally organized. |
| The hindbrain is vital to staying alive because it controls breathing and wakefulness. |
| Over time the neural tube expands at one end to form an embryonic brain with constrictions marking the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. |
| I found a spinal cord, a hindbrain, a midbrain, a forebrain, all organized in similar ways to my own nervous system. |
