1 cerebral hemisphere [səˈriːbrəl] [ˈhemɪˌsfɪə(r)] n.大脑半球

2 corpus callosum [ˈkɔː(r)pəs] [kɑː'ləʊsəm] na.胼胝体 The corpus callosum is a large white matter tract that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. It allows us to perceive depth and enables the two sides of our brain to communicate. The corpus callosum gets its name from the Latin language (“tough body”).

3 ventricle ['ventrɪk(ə)l] n. 脑室

4 fornix ['fɔːnɪks] n.【解】穹隆

5 thalamus ['θæləməs] n.【解】丘脑 thalamus, plural thalami ( ['θæləmaɪ] ), either of a pair of large ovoid organs that form most of the lateral walls of the third ventricle of the brain. The thalamus translates neural impulses from various receptors to the cerebral cortex (n.大脑皮层). While the thalamus is classically known for its roles as a sensory relay in visual ( [ˈvɪʒʊəl] adj.视觉的), auditory ([ˈɔːdɪt(ə)ri] adj.听觉的), somatosensory ([ˌsəʊmətəʊ'sensərɪ] adj.躯体感觉的), and gustatory systems(['gʌstətərɪ] adj.味觉的), it also has significant roles in motor activity, emotion, memory, arousal ([ə'raʊz(ə)l] n.觉醒), and other sensorimotor ([sensərɪ'məʊtə] adj.感觉运动的) association functions.

 6  pituitary gland [pɪ'tju:ɪtəri] n.脑垂体

 7 pons [pɑnz] n.【解】脑桥

 8 medulla oblongata [meˌdʌləˌɒblɒŋˈɡɑːtə] na.延髓  plural medulla oblongatas or medullae oblongatae [meˌdʌliˌɒblɒŋˈɡɑːti] 

The medulla oblongata is one of three parts of the brainstem. Ten of the 12 cranial nerves begin in the brainstem. Of those, four begin in the medulla oblongata. These nerves control swallowing, taste, breathing, heart function, digestion, upper back and neck muscles, and tongue movement.

9 spinal cord ['spaɪn(ə)l] [kɔː(r)d] n.脊髓

10 cerebellum [.serə'beləm] n.小脑 plural cerebellums or cerebella  [.serə'belə]

The cerebellum (which is Latin for “little brain”) is a major structure of the hindbrain (['haɪndbreɪn] n.后脑) that is located near the brainstem. This part of the brain is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements (随意运动). It is also responsible for a number of functions including motor skills such as balance, coordination, and posture.

11 midbrain ['mɪdbreɪn] n.中脑  The midbrain (also known as the mesencephalon [ˌmesen'sefəlɒn]) is the most superior of the three regions of the brainstem.
