Serial transverse sections of the brain stem
Diencephalon and telencephalon.
The level of this section is 7 mm. above that of the last. The lentiform nucleus is sectioned through its mid-portion. Efferent fibers of the globus pallidus pass, as the ansa lenticularis, around the medial margin of the internal capsule.
  1. Caudate nucleus (tail)
  2. Posterior limb of internal capsule
  3. Dorsal lateral nucleus of thalamus
  4. Claustrum
  5. External capsule
  6. Putamen
  7. External medullary lamina and external division of globus pallidus
  8. Internal medullary lamina and internal division of globus pallidus
  9. Posterior part of anterior commissure
  10. Uncinate fasciculus
  11. Lamina terminalis and optic recess
  12. Lateral cerebral fissure
  13. Orbital gyri
  14. Cingulate gyrus and sulcus corpus callosum
  15. Stria terminalis
  16. Fornix (body)
  17. Lateral nucleus of thalamus
  18. Internal medullary lamina of thalamus
  19. Medial nucleus of thalamus
  20. Mamillothalamic fasciculus [Vicq d'Azyr]
  21. Frontal part internal capsule
  22. Ansa lenticularis
  23. Tectal part of column of fornix and hypothalamus
  24. Anterior perforated substance
  25. Anterior communicating artery
  26. Olfactory trigone
  27. Straight gyrus
