Transverse Section of Midbrain at Level of Inferior Colliculus

Watch this video if you find the structures on cross section of midbrain daunting. This short, super easy video explains the structure by step-by-step drawing of internal features of midbrain at the level of inferior colliculus. The parts of midbrain i.e., tectum and tegmentum are shown. The position of tracts is described as well as the nuclei. The location of cerebral peduncle and cerebral aqueduct is also shown. 0:07 Cerebral aqueduct 0:26 Tectum 0:32 Cerebral peduncle 0:41 Substantia nigra 1:05 Crus cerebri 1:09 Tegmentum 1:13 Tracts 1:37 Inferior colliculus 1:58 Mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve 2:22 Trochlear nucleus and nerve 2:46 Central tegmental tract 3:07 Decussation of superior cerebellar peduncles 3:26 Medial longitudinal fasciculus 3:47 Tectospinal tracts 4:04 Rubrospinal tract 4:20 Medial lemniscus 4:46 Spinal lemniscus 5:08 Trigeminal lemniscus 5:28 Lateral lemniscus
