Hello,

The Hindbrain

The Hindbrain is composed of the medulla, the pons, and the cerebellum. The Medulla controls functions outside conscious control, such as breathing and blood flow. The Pons affects activities such as sleeping, waking, and dreaming. The Cerebellum controls balance and coordination of movement. 

The Midbrain

The Midbrain is the part of the brain that lies between the hindbrain and the forebrain. The midbrain helps us to locate events in space. It also contains a system of neurons that releases the neurotransmitter dopamine. The Reticular Formation runs through the hindbrain and the midbrain and is involved in sleep and wakefulness, pain perception, breathing, and muscle reflexes.

Hope this helps. You can contact for any further guidelines

Anshika, I don't know what you mean by that. The brain itself is divided into 3 divisions - Midbrain, forebrain and hindbrain.
