The brain surrounding the fourth ventricle in the lower brainstem is the medulla, a complex region of the brain. At the floor of the medulla lie the medullary pyramids. These huge bundles of axons descend from the forebrain towards the spinal cord. The pyramids contain corticospinal tracts, which are involved in the control of voluntary movement. Several nuclei that are important for hearing are also found in the rostral medulla: the dorsal and ventral cochlear nuclei and the superior olive. Also shown are the inferior olive, important for motor control, and the raphe nucleus, important for the modulation of pain, mood and wakefulness.

A personal request from Barry Thain, Clinical Hypnotist
This is the brochure site for my hypnotherapy practice. I put these pages here because I think hypnosis is all in the brain and, indeed, most of my work involves intervening in the supply of corticotropin releasing hormone from the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.
Despite being a hypnotherapy site, these neuro-graphics pages get thousands of visits every month. (I've discovered they are used in Wikipedia so that explains a lot of it.) I hope this page has been useful to you, because it isn't of any use to me; unless ...
I have a hypnosis mp3 site. You would do me a great favour if you visited the site briefly because Google would notice and my site would become easier to find for those who want to download therapy. There's no trap, and you don't have to buy anything. There is a free (and popular, and effective) therapy called Appreciate Yourself that you are welcome to grab if you want to, but really I'd just appreciate the visit.
I'm afraid you'll find this request on all these pages, but you don't have to follow the link every time you see it. Once will be great!
Thanks in advance.
Barry
