Semidiogrommatic medial aspect of right half of a human brain. The two hemispheres are joined across the midline above the level of the diencephalon by a corpus caliosum formed of transverse fibers. This structure is characteristic of the placental brain and is derived from the pallial commissure of the opossum, the monotreme, or the reptile (Figures 13- 2, 13-4). Hanging down from the corpus caliosum are bilat- eral tracts identified as the fornix. These are suspended by a septum lucidum. Below the corpus caliosum, in the ante- rior wall of the brain (the lamina terminalis) is the anterior commissure. Below this and anterior to it are the olfactory bulbs and nerve. The posterior limit of the telencephalon is marked ven- trally by the preoptic recess, a thinning of the floor just anterior to the optic chiasma. Dorsally there is no marker, but the ingrowing chorioid tissue probably represents the velum transversum which separates the telencephalon and diencephalon of the embryo. The roof of the diencephalon is modified into a chorioid plexus which extends down into the third ventricle and through the foramina of Monroe into the lateral ventricles of the cerebral lobes. Behind this membranous roof is a pineal organ. This organ is derived from the epiphyseal diverticulum. Ventrally and anteriorl
