The internal capsule has been cut through to expose fibers of the superior occipitofrontal fasciculus which forms a longitudinal bundle in the angle medial to the junction of the corpus callosum and internal capsule. The name commonly used to describe this fasciculus is quite apparently a misnomer inasmuch as there is no evident connection with the occipital lobe. The downward course of these fibers posteriorly towards the thalamus is seen in this dissection.
