The Thalamus (Diencephalon) is part of the Forebrain and is divided into Dorsal Thalamus (Superior), Hypothalamus (Inferior and Medial) and Subthalamus (Lateral to Hypothalamus).
On a half brain specimen, the Thalamus can be identified. The Thalamus (anteroom) is connected caudally with the midbrain and rostrally with the cerebral hemispheres. Note that the walls of the 3rd ventricle are completely formed by the Thalamus. The Hypothalamic Sulcus separates the Dorsal Thalamus superiorly from the Hypothalamus inferiorly. The subthalamus is located lateral to the hypothalamus and is not visible here.
The anterior wall of the 3rd ventricle is a thin sheet of tissue called the Lamina Terminalis. In the Dorsal Thalamus note the Interthalamic Adhesion (Massa Intermedia), and the three parts of the Epithalamus: Stria Medullaris Thalami, Habenula, and the Pineal Gland. The floor of the Hypothalamus is made up of the Infundibulum, which connects with the pituitary gland, and posteriorly, the Tuber Cinereum and Mammillary Body.

ThalamusThalamus je spolu s epithalamem součástí zadní části mezimozku (diencephalon) a je seskupením senzorických, asociačních a nespecifických jader. Zprostředkovává převod informací přicházejících z periférie do specifických projekčních a asociačních oblastí mozkové kůry a do důležitých center mozečku. Umožňuje také vzájemnou interakci vyšších oddílů CNS. .. pokračovat ve čtení
