ALPHABETICAL BRAIN VOCABULARY Flash Card #45 - Details WHAT IS YOUR "BRAINSTEM" AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? Your BRAINSTEM "connects" your body to the rest of your brain. It contains many NEURON "modules" or "clusters" of NEURONS, which influence both your conscious and unconscious behavior! It is not a "stem" since it integrates many of your brain's fundamental functions with your body. Return to #45: MIDBRAIN or BRAIN FACTS MATRIX
