Medial view of the brain (English)

The cerebrum is the largest and most superior/rostral part of the brain. There are several important gyri and lobules visible on the medial view, such as the medial frontal gyrus and paracentral lobule of the frontal lobe, the precuneus of the parietal lobe and the cuneus of the occipital lobe. Additionally, running below the frontal lobe is the cingulate gyrus, which is a part of the limbic lobe. The notable sulci of the cerebrum visible on this view are the paracentral sulcus, that separates the medial frontal gyrus and paracentral lobule; the central sulcus, separating the frontal and parietal lobes, and the parietooccipital sulcus, which separates the parietal and occipital lobes. Moving inferiorly, several structures of the diencephalon are labeled: the thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, mammillary body and pineal gland. The next part of the brain is the brainstem, which consists of three parts: the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata. The last part of the brain visible on this view is the cerebellum, lying inferior to the occipital lobe of the cerebrum and posterior the pons.
