3. The median longitudinal section of human brain given here under is marked with
important parts as 1 to 4.

involved in breathing rhythm regulation. Double vision (diplopia) can be a
consequence of damage to this part.

managing hormones. Besides controlling hunger and thirst, it senses fullness when
eating etc. It secretes feelgood hormone (Dopamine). Malfunctioning causes
Prader-Willi Syndrome.
