June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Midbrain
The midbrain or mesencephalon is the forward-most portion of the brainstem and is associated
with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep and wakefulness, arousal (alertness), and temperature
regulation.[2] The name comes from the Greek mesos, "middle", and enkephalos, "brain".[3]

3. The principal regions of the midbrain are the tectum, the cerebral aqueduct, tegmentum, and the
cerebral peduncles. Rostrally the midbrain adjoins the diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus,
etc.), while caudally it adjoins the hindbrain (pons, medulla and cerebellum).[4]
In the rostral

7 and 8 are the colliculi.
4. Sectioning of the midbrain is usually performed axially, at one of two levels – that of the superior
colliculi, or that of the inferior colliculi. One common technique for remembering the structures
of the midbrain involves visualizing these cross-sections (especially at the level of the superior
colliculi) as the upside-down face of a bear, with the cerebral peduncles forming the ears, the
cerebral aqueduct the mouth, and the tectum the chin; prominent features of the tegmentum
form the eyes and certain sculptural shadows of the face.
Tectum
The tectum (Latin for roof) is the dorsal side of the midbrain. The position of the tectum is
contrasted with the tegmentum, which refers to the region in front of the ventricular system, or
floor of the midbrain.
It is involved in certain reflexes in response to visual or auditory stimuli. The reticulospinal tract,
which exerts some control over alertness, takes input from the tectum,[5] and travels both
rostrally and caudally from it.
The corpora quadrigemina are four mounds, called colliculi, in two pairs – a superior and an
inferior pair, on the surface of the tectum. The superior colliculi process some visual
information, aid the decussation of several fibres of the optic nerve (some fibres remain
ipsilateral), and are involved with saccadic eye movements. The tectospinal tract connects the
superior colliculi to the cervical nerves of the neck, and co-ordinates head and eye movements.
Each superior colliculus also sends information to the corresponding lateral geniculate nucleus,
…
Principal connections of the tectum
5. with which it is directly connected. The homologous structure to the superior colliculus in non
mammalian vertebrates including fish and amphibians, is called the optic tectum; in those
animals, the optic tectum integrates sensory information from the eyes and certain auditory
reflexes.[6][7]
The inferior colliculi – located just above the trochlear nerve – process certain auditory
information. Each inferior colliculus sends information to the corresponding medial geniculate
nucleus, with which it is directly connected.
Cerebral aqueduct
The cerebral aqueduct is the part of the ventricular system which links the third ventricle
(rostrally) with the fourth ventricle (caudally); as such it is responsible for continuing the
circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel located between
the tectum and the tegmentum, and is surrounded by the periaqueductal grey,[8] which has a role
in analgesia, quiescence, and bonding. The dorsal raphe nucleus (which releases serotonin in
response to certain neural activity) is located at the ventral side of the periaqueductal grey, at the
level of the inferior colliculus.
The nuclei of two pairs of cranial nerves are similarly located at the ventral side of the
periaqueductal grey – the pair of oculomotor nuclei (which control the eyelid, and most eye
movements) is located at the level of the superior colliculus,[9] while the pair of trochlear nuclei

6. (which helps focus vision on more proximal objects) is located caudally to that, at the level of
the inferior colliculus, immediately lateral to the dorsal raphe nucleus.[8] The oculomotor nerve
emerges from the nucleus by traversing the ventral width of the tegmentum, while the trochlear
nerve emerges via the tectum, just below the inferior colliculus itself; the trochlear is the only
cranial nerve to exit the brainstem dorsally. The Edinger-Westphal nucleus (which controls the
shape of the lens and size of the pupil) is located between the oculomotor nucleus and the
cerebral aqueduct.[8]
Tegmentum
The midbrain tegmentum is the portion of the midbrain ventral to the cerebral aqueduct, and is
much larger in size than the tectum. It communicates with the cerebellum by the superior

7. cerebellar peduncles, which enter at the caudal end, medially, on the ventral side; the cerebellar
peduncles are distinctive at the level of the inferior colliculus, where they decussate, but they
dissipate more rostrally.[8] Between these peduncles, on the ventral side, is the median raphe
nucleus, which is involved in memory consolidation.
The main bulk of the tegmentum contains a complex synaptic network of neurons, primarily
involved in homeostasis and reflex actions. It includes portions of the reticular formation. A
number of distinct nerve tracts between other parts of the brain pass through it. The medial
lemniscus – a narrow ribbon of fibres – passes through in a relatively constant axial position; at
the level of the inferior colliculus it is near the lateral edge, on the ventral side, and retains a
similar position rostrally (due to widening of the tegmentum towards the rostral end, the position
can appears more medial). The spinothalamic tract – another ribbon-like region of fibres – are
located at the lateral edge of the tegmentum; at the level of the inferior colliculus it is
immediately dorsal to the medial lemiscus, but due to the rostral widening of the tegmentum, is
lateral of the medial lemiscus at the level of the superior colliculus.
A prominent pair of round, reddish, regions – the red nuclei (which have a role in motor co-
ordination) – are located in the rostral portion of the midbrain, somewhat medially, at the level of
the superior colliculus.[8]
The rubrospinal tract emerges from the red nucleus and descends
caudally, primarily heading to the cervical portion of the spine, to implement the red nuclei's
decisions. The area between the red nuclei, on the ventral side – known as the ventral tegmental
area – is the largest dopamine-producing area in the brain, and is heavily involved in the neural
reward system. The ventral tegmental area is in contact with parts of the forebrain – the
mammillary bodies (from the Diencephalon) and hypothalamus (of the diencephalon).
Cerebral peduncles …
8. The cerebral peduncles each form a lobe ventrally of the tegmentum, on either side of the
midline. Beyond the midbrain, between the lobes, is the interpeduncular fossa, which is a cistern
filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
The majority of each lobe constitutes the cerebral crus. The cerebral crus are the main tracts
descending from the thalamus to caudal parts of the central nervous system; the central and
medial ventral portions contain the corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts, while the remainder of
each crus primarily contains tracts connecting the cortex to the pons. Older texts refer to the
crus cerebri as the cerebral peduncle; however, the latter term actually covers all fibres
communicating with the cerebrum (usually via the diencephalon), and therefore would include
much of the tegmentum as well. The remainder of the crus pedunculi – small regions around the
main cortical tracts – contain tracts from the internal capsule.
The portion of the lobes in connection with the tegmentum, except the most lateral portion, is
dominated by a blackened band – the substantia nigra (literally black substance)[8] – which is the
only part of the basal ganglia system outside the forebrain. It is ventrally wider at the rostral end.
By means of the basal ganglia, the substantia nigra is involved in motor-planning, learning,
addiction, and other functions. There are two regions within the substantia nigra – one where
neurons are densely packed (the pars compacta) and one where they aren't (the pars reticulata),
which serve a different role from one another within the basal ganglia system. The substantia
nigra has extremely high production of melanin (hence the colour), dopamine, and noradrenalin;
the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in this region contributes to the progression of
Parkinson's disease.[10]
Brain anatomy – forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain.
Development
9. During embryonic development, the midbrain (also known as the mesencephalon) arises from
the second vesicle of the neural tube, while the interior of this portion of the tube becomes the
cerebral aqueduct. Unlike the other two vesicles – the forebrain and hindbrain – the midbrain
does not develop further subdivision for the remainder of neural development. It does not split
into other brain areas. while the forebrain, for example, divides into the telencephalon and the
diencephalon.[11]
Throughout embryonic development, the cells within the midbrain continually multiply; this
happens to a much greater extent ventrally than it does dorsally. The outward expansion
compresses the still-forming cerebral aqueduct, which can result in partial or total obstruction,
leading to congenital hydrocephalus.[12] The tectum is derived in embryonic development from
the alar plate of the neural tube.
The mesencephalon is considered part of the brainstem. Its substantia nigra is closely
associated with motor system pathways of the basal ganglia. The human mesencephalon is
archipallian in origin, meaning that its general architecture is shared with the most ancient of
vertebrates. Dopamine produced in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area plays a role
in movement, movement planning, excitation, motivation and habituation of species from
humans to the most elementary animals such as insects. Laboratory house mice from lines that
have been selectively bred for high voluntary wheel running have enlarged midbrains.[13]
The
midbrain helps to relay information for vision and hearing.
