prósentum

Prósentum, also known as the prosencephalon, is one of the three primary divisions of the embryonic brain in vertebrates. It develops from the forebrain and gives rise to several key structures, including the telencephalon, diencephalon, and mesencephalon. The telencephalon, the largest part of the prosencephalon, develops into the cerebral hemispheres, which are responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thought, memory, and consciousness. The diencephalon, located beneath the telencephalon, includes structures like the thalamus and hypothalamus, which play crucial roles in sensory processing, motor control, and homeostasis. The mesencephalon, the smallest part of the prosencephalon, develops into the midbrain, which is involved in motor control, sensory processing, and visual and auditory functions. The prosencephalon is essential for the development of the nervous system and the integration of various sensory and motor functions.
