The midbrain plays an important part in people's motivation to seek food or friends.

脑在人们寻找食物或朋友的动机起着重要作用。

The brain stem houses the lower nerve centers (consisting of midbrain, pons, and medulla).

Alcohol also stimulates a small group of neurons that extends from the midbrain to the nucleus accumbens, a region important for motivation.

酒精也会对小部分神经细胞有激活效果，并从脑持续到伏隔核区域，而伏隔核在奖赏和快乐等感官体验具有重要作用。

Here we're using optogenetics to target neurons living in the hypothalamus, sending messages down wires aimed at the midbrain.

在这里， 我们使用光遗传学来靶向生活在下丘脑的神经元，将信息沿着针对脑的导线发送。

Once inside the brain, Levodopa is efficiently converted to dopamine thus supplementing depleted dopamine levels in the midbrain.

旦进入大脑，左旋多巴就会有效地转化为多巴胺，从而补充体内的多巴胺脑的多巴胺水平。

In contrast, neurons in a section of the midbrain called the substantia nigra are in charge of initiating movement and other motor function.

相形之下，脑有个区域叫做黑质，黑质神经元负责运动的设计启动以及其他运动功能。

The higher the blood pressure is, the more frequently they send action potentials to the midbrain informing it just how much pressure the artery is feeling.

血压越高，它们就越频繁地向脑发送动作电位，告诉脑动脉感受到了多大的压力。

Symptoms of Schizophrenia appear when one of the neural circuit situated in the midbrain, called Substantia nigra, overproduce neurotransmitter called Dopamine and disrupts the balance between secretion of Dopamine and Acetylcholine.

当位于脑的黑质神经回路产生过量多巴胺，并破坏多巴胺和乙酰胆碱分泌之间的平衡时，就会出现精神分裂症的症状。

To settle the debate researchers mapped gene expression in different bits of starfish anatomy, looking specifically for the genes expressed in the forebrain, midbrain and trunk of other bilaterians.

为了解决这个争论， 研究人员绘制了海星解剖结构不同部位的基表达图，专门寻找在其他两侧对称动物的前脑、脑和躯干表达的基。

The brainstem actually has three main components — and I know this is getting to be a lot of vocabulary here — you have the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata.

脑干实际上三个主要部分组成——我知道这已经有很多词汇了——你有脑，脑桥和延髓。

We usually refer to the substantia nigra as if it's in a single location, but there are actually two of these regions in the brain, one on each side of the midbrain.

“黑质”听起来像是指某个具体的位置，但实际上是指大脑的两个区域，分别位于脑两侧。

Once your brain receives sensory information, it sends a motor signal down the upper motor neurons through the corticospinal tract in the midbrain, and cross to the opposite side at the medulla before continuing down the spinal cord.

当大脑接收到感觉信息时，它通过脑的皮质脊髓束向上运动神经元发送运动信号，先交叉至对侧延髓，然后继续下行。
