AI Thread Summary
The term "cerebellum" translates to "little brain," referring to its location beneath the two hemispheres of the brain, resembling a tennis ball positioned above the neck towards the dorsal area. The discussion also delves into the location of the pineal gland, which is situated centrally in the brain. Questions arise regarding its position relative to the body of fornix and the hippocampi, with a specific inquiry about whether the pineal gland is located behind the body of fornix. Visual aids are sought to clarify its anatomical position, indicating a need for better understanding of brain structure.

Does The Cerebellum mean Little Brain or Tree Of Life?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
Typing "cerebellum" into google revealed that it means "little brain".
 
It's basically the part of the brain below both hemispheres. Think of like a tennis ball just above the neck towards the dorsal part of the brain.
 
Thank you for the help I just have one more thing if you can help?

I was looking on google to see if I could find where the Pineal Gland is in the Brain.

I know it is in the Center part of the Brain going to the Back.

And I did look up Body Of Fornix and Pineal Gland and the photos I could not see to good.

Is the Pineal Gland inback of the Body Of Fornix or on the inside where the Hippocampi are?
