    This document provides an overview of the midbrain, pons, medulla, thalamus, and internal capsule. It includes sections on the ventral-dorsal and transverse organization of the midbrain, as well as views of the pons and medulla. There are also sections describing the connections and nuclear groups of the thalamus, including the ventral posterior and ventral lateral nuclei. Key structures mentioned include the cerebral peduncles, substantia nigra, inferior and superior colliculi, and various cranial nerve nuclei.
