When exposed by frontal sections passingthrough the anterior part of the lateral ventricles (Fig. loio), the internal capsuleappears as a broad, oblique stripe, extending from above downward and inward,bounded by the large caudate nucleus mesially, the lenticular nucleus laterally,and below by the gray substance establishing continuity between the two nuclei. 1174 HUMAN ANAT()M^?
