Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the anatomy of the brain, which is divided into several regions: the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.
The midbrain, also known as the mesencephalon, is a part of the brainstem located between the forebrain and the hindbrain.
The corpora quadrigemina are four rounded protrusions on the dorsal aspect of the midbrain. They are involved in visual and auditory reflexes.
The corpora quadrigemina consist of two superior colliculi and two inferior colliculi. The superior colliculi are involved in visual processing, while the inferior colliculi are involved in auditory processing.
Therefore, the corpora quadrigemina are located in the midbrain region of the brain.
