Exploration of the brain from its superior aspect
Structure of corpus callosum and relation to corona radiata
The right half of the corpus callosum has been partially torn away to reveal more completely the direction of its component fibers. The body of the lateral ventricle is opened in the area at 22.
  1. Cingulum
  2. Anterior horn lateral ventricle
  3. Septum pellucidum and septal cavity
  4. Head of caudate nucleus
  5. Superior occipitofrontal fasciculus
  6. Insula (partially dissected)
  7. Location of Interventricular foramen
  8. Anterior tubercle of thalamus
  9. Corona radiata
  10. Transverse temporal gyrus
  11. Choroidal branch of posterior cerebral artery
  12. Lamina affixa
  13. Fornix (crus)
  14. Superior longitudinal fasciculus (cut across)
  15. Hippocampus
  16. Posterior continuation of cingulum (cut across as it spreads out toward inferior aspect of temporal lobe and hippocampal gyrus)
  17. Posterior cerebral artery within parieto-occipital fissure
  18. Anterior cerebral arteries within longitudinal cerebral fissure
  19. Inferior frontal sulcus
  20. Radiation corpus callosum (partially dissected to show direction of fibers)
  21. Corona radiata (cut across)
  22. Cavity of lateral ventricle visible through opening in corpus callosum
  23. Superior longitudinal fasciculus
  24. Meninges within transverse fissure
  25. Surface of lingual gyrus facing parieto-occipital fissure
  26. Cerebellum
