Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed


External and Internal Structure of the Cerebral Hemispheres
Basal Ganglia, Major Fiber Systems, Nuclei, and Ventricles
Horizontal and Coronal Sections of the Brain

5-1: Cerebral hemispheres from above (meninges and blood vessels removed). In this view, the cerebrum conceals other parts of the brain.
5-2: Superolateral surface of right cerebral hemisphere, showing sulci and gyri
5-3: Medial surface of the brain, with blood vessels removed
5-4: Medial surface of right cerebral hemisphere, with blood vessels removed
5-5: Inferior surface of the brain with cranial nerve attachments, after removal of meninges and superficial blood vessels
5-6: Inferior surface of the brain after transection through lower midbrain and removal of cerebellum
5-7: Association tracts in the medial part of the cerebrum: right hemisphere
5-8: Caudate nucleus, thalamus and upper brainstem structures: right side of brain, from the medial aspect
5-9 Thalamus and thalamic radiations in left cerebral hemisphere: medial view
5-10 Cortical projection systems of left cerebral hemisphere: medial aspect
5-11 Caudate nucleus, amygdaloid body, stria terminalis, corona radiata, and internal capsule: right cerebral hemisphere from the medial side
5-12 Corona radiata, internal capsule and basis pedunculi arising from the left cerebral hemisphere
5-13 Insula of right cerebral hemisphere
5-14 Insula and association bundles of left cerebral hemisphere
5-15 Short and long association tracts: lateral aspect of right hemisphere
5-16 Putamen of lentiform nucleus and corona radiata: right hemisphere from the lateral aspect
5-17 Globus pallidus of lentiform nucleus, internal capsule, and corona radiata: left hemisphere from the lateral aspect
5-18 Corona radiata, internal capsule, anterior (rostral) commissure, and some association tracts: left hemisphere from the lateral aspect
5-19 Basal ganglia; dissection of left cerebral hemisphere from the lateral aspect
5-20 Superior view of the cerebrum, sliced horizontally above the corpus callosum
5-21 Corpus callosum, its radiation, and indusium griseum displayed from above
5-22 Tela choroidea of third and lateral ventricles, viewed from above
5-23 Internal features of cerebellum, midbrain, diencephalon, and telencephalon: ventral aspect of dissected brain
5-24 Visual pathway from optic chiasma to occipital lobes, viewed from the basal aspect
5-25 Components of limbic system and cerebral hemispheres, seen from below
5-26 Dentate gyri, amygdaloid bodies
5-27 Horizontal section through the dorsal lateral nucleus of the thalamus
5-28 Horizontal section through middle of thalamus
5-29 Horizontal section through middle of corpus striatum
5-30 Coronal section through the anterior part of the corpus striatum
5-31 Coronal section through the anterior (rostral) commissure and optic chiasma
5-32 Coronal section through the tuber cinereum and lentiform nucleus
5-33 Coronal section through mamillary bodies
5-34 Coronal section through thalamus, temporal horn of lateral ventricle, and posterior limb of internal capsule
5-35 Coronal section through thalamus, choroid fissure, basis pedunculi, and ventral part of pons
5-36 Coronal section through posterior (epithalamic) commissure
