1. brain stem
2. cerebellum
3. diencephalon
4. cerebrum
Brain stem
It Connects the spinal cord to the remainder of the brain and contains many ascending and descending nerve tracts.

Hypothalamus link between nervous system and endocrine system. it detect oxygen, temperature and hunger feeling full, mammillary bodies. and
Epithalamus (Above) contains pineal Glands,Pineal glands produce hormone called Melatunium
