The anterior commissure, like the hippocampal commissure, belongs to therhinencephalon. It is a rounded fascicle which crosses tin- median plane in thedorsal part of the lamina terminalis just rostral to the columnae fornicus ().

Of these, the more rostral is shaped like ahorseshoe and joins together the two olfactory bulbs. This part can be readily-dissected out in the sheeps brain (Fig. 199), but is poorly developed in man. Theremaining portion, and in man the chief component, joins the pyriform areasof the two hemispheres together (Cajal, 1911). We are now sufficiently acquainted with the anatomy of the rhinencephalonto undertake a study of the structure an
