Exploration of the brain from the medial aspect
Occipital radiation of corpus callosum and parieto-occipital fissure
Detailed relations of the structures in the region of the parieto-occipital fissure are visible in this close-up of the posterior area of the previous view.
- Radiation corpus callosum
- Internal capsule (caudate nucleus removed)
- Stria terminalis
- Fornix (crus) (cut across)
- Cut section of pulvinar
- Limbic lobe (cut across)
- Cerebral peduncle (substantia nigra removed)
- Medullary substance of superior parietal lobule
- Cuneus
- Occipital part radiations corpus callosum
- Posterior cerebral artery lying within depths of parieto-occipital fissure at its junction with the calcarine fissure
- Calcarine fissure
- Cingulum (cut across)
- Lingual gyrus
- Transverse fissure bounded superiorly by the cerebral hemisphere and inferiorly by the cerebellum
