paleencephalon
The paleencephalon, also known as the old brain or the primitive brain, refers to the lower structures of the brain including the medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain, hypothalamus, thalamus, and the limbic system. These structures are involved in primal functions such as survival instincts, basic life functions and emotions like fear and aggression. It is often contrasted with the neencephalon which includes higher functioning structures like the cerebral cortex.
