The plane of section is 7 mm. above that of the last view and is slightly oblique so that the plane on the left side is higher than the right. The cerebral peduncles (22) are prominent although a fragment of the pons is still present. Fibers of the brachium conjunctivum, after crossing the midline are seen approaching the lower end of the red nucleus (20). The pulvinar of the thalamus is cut and fibers pass from it through the retrolenticular part of the internal capsule (3) toward the cortex of the parietal and occipital lobes.
