The mesencephalon or midbrain is the portion of the brainstem that connects the hindbrain and the forebrain. The midbrain regulates movement. The mesencephalon or midbrain is the portion of the brainstem that connects the hindbrain and the forebrain. A number of nerve tracts run through the midbrain that connect the cerebrum with the cerebellum and other hindbrain structures. A major function of the midbrain is to aid in movement as well as visual and auditory processing.
