Exploration of the brain from its superior aspect
Inferior horn of lateral ventricle; hippocampus
The amygdaloid nucleus and lower part of the lentiform nucleus have been removed to demonstrate the entire extent of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle. Note the hippocampal digitations bulging upward into the opened cavity. The anterior commissure and striate arteries are also visible.
