  3. Superior occipitofrontal fasciculus
  4. Internal capsule (posterior limb)
  5. Anterior horn lateral ventricle
  6. Septum pellucidum (a few fibers of column of fornix are included)
  7. Insula
  8. Claustrum
  9. External capsule
  10. Head of caudate nucleus
  11. Posterior horn lateral ventricle
  12. Corona radiata
  13. Caudate nucleus (tail)
  14. Stria terminalis
  15. Globus pallidus and external medullary lamina of lentiform nucleus
