Sheep Brain Dissection Sparing the Hippocampus
Top. Most of the telencephalon has been removed, but the deeply positioned hippocampus (f) remains. Fibers of the hippocampus extend rostrally as the fornix (fo). Bottom. Same specimen as top, but the hippocampus has been reflected rostrally to produce a ventral view. Notice the hippocampus (h), the fimbria (fi), and the fornix (fo). Also labeled are: pineal body (p); thalamus (th); and rostral colliculus (rc). To return to the more intact sheep brain, click here. To see return to the original hippocampus page, click here.
