forebrain
Solution
The answer is the fourth one (forebrain): the forebrain is made up of the limbic system, thalamus, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex.
Explanation for each option:
Midbrain: Incorrect. The midbrain is part of the brainstem and is involved in functions such as vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.
Brain stem: Incorrect. The brain stem includes the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata, and it controls basic life functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Hindbrain: Incorrect. The hindbrain includes the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata, and it is responsible for coordinating movement and balance.
Forebrain: Correct. The forebrain includes the limbic system, thalamus, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex, which are involved in complex behaviors, sensory and motor functions, and higher cognitive processes.
Summary:
The forebrain is made up of the limbic system, thalamus, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex.
