. Bensley's Practical anatomy of the rabbit : an elementary laboratory text-book in mammalian anatomy. Rabbits -- Anatomy. 364 ANATOMY OF THE RABBIT (a) The deep but extremely narrow cavity formed by the third ventricle is the most anterior space appearing in the brain, the paired lateral ventricles, which are reckoned as the first two without either being specifically designated as first, lying laterally in the hemispheres. Each of these paired ventricles is connected with the third ventricle by a narrow transverse canal, the interventricular foramen (formen interventriculare), situated a short distance dorsal to the position of the anterior commissure (Fig. 124).. Fig. 12-1. The brain in median section: a, anterior commissure; ac, cerebral aqueduct; bo, olfactory bulb; cb, cerebellum; cc, central canal of spinal cord; ccl, corpus callosum; cf, body of the fornix; , inferior coUiculus; , superior colliculus; cm, mamillary body; co, optic chiasma; cp, pineal body; , cervical flexure; h. habenular commissure; he, cerebral hemisphere; hp, hip- pocampus; inf, infundibulum; It, laminal terminalis; mo, medulla oblongata; p, posterior commissure; pc, chorioid plexus of the third ventricle; , cerebral peduncle; pn, pons; sp, splenium; spl, septum pellucidum; tc, tuber cinereum; th, thalamus, massa intermedia; vma, anterior medullary velum; vmp, posterior medullary velum; vq, fourth ventricle; vt, third ventricle; I, olfactory nerve (origin); II, optic nerve. (b) The anterior boundary of the third ventricle is formed ventrally by the narrow transverse wall passing across from one hemisphere to the other, the lamina terminalis, in the dorsal portion of which is the small anterior com- missure (commissura anterior), a connection between the olfactory portions of the brain on one side and those on the other. The ventral portion of the ventricle is projected above the optic chiasma forming the recessus opticus, and into the infundibulum, forming the recessus inf
