Transverse section through the
telencephalon and
diencephalon of a canine brain (white matter is stained blue). The
corpus callosum (cc) crosses the midline, connecting with cerebral white matter bilaterally. The
cingulate gyrus (cing) is located immediately dorsal to the corpus callosum. Ventral to the corpus callosum, the floor of the
lateral ventricle (lat) is formed by
hippocampus (hip) and
fimbria (unlabeled).
Notice that the
internal capsule (IC) connects the
thalamus with
cerebral hemisphere, bilaterally. The asterisk marks the
interthalamic adhesion, where
thalamus of right and left sides meet. Click
