54) A) Thalamus 1 - Most secondary sensory neurons have their axons synapsing here 2 - Very well-connected to the Pons; Develops from the hindbrain B) Hypothalamus 3 - Gray matter areas such as substantia nigra and CN III & IV nuclei 4 - Feedback integration center for pituitary endocrine pathways C) Cerebellum 5 - Gray matter areas involved in visual and auditory reflexes 6 - Relay center for sensory information traveling to the cerebral cortex D) Midbrain 7 - Control center for body osmolarity; Part of the diencephalon 8 - Receives parallel signaling from inner ear & somatosensory pathways
