The lowest part of the brain which merges with the spinal cord and provides the major route by which the upper realms of the brain send information to, and receives information from, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, midbrain, and pons. All but two of the 12 cranial nerves originate in the brain [..]

The hindbrain and midbrain of the vertebrate central nervous system. In humans, it forms a cap on the anterior end of the spinal cord, extending to about the middle of the brain.

The part of teh brain that connects the spinal cord and the cerebrum.

n. the connection between the cerebrum and spinal cord. This part consists of the midbrain, cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata (with the latter three comprising the hindbrain).

This area of the brain is not only the oldest area, but also is located in the most inner regions of the brain. The brainstem is located just above the spinal column. In fact, it is located directly a [..]

The region of the brain that consists of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla.

(n) the part of the brain continuous with the spinal cord and comprising the medulla oblongata and pons and midbrain and parts of the hypothalamus

the lower extension of the brain where it connects to the spinal cord. Neurological functions located in the brainstem include those necessary for survival (breathing, heart rate) and for arousal (being awake and alert).     

The brainstem is composed the midbrain , the pons and the medulla .The brainstem plays a key role in motor, sensory and basic functions such as breathing.

The Brainstem is the lower part of the brain which is continuous with the spinal cord. It is a common site for multiple sclerosis lesions. The brainstem can be broadly divided into the Midbrain, the P [..]

The part of the Brain that connects the cerebral hemispheres with the spinal cord. It consists of the Mesencephalon; Pons; and Medulla Oblongata.
