Examples for thalamencephalon

The fore-brain consists (fig. 43) of a thalamencephalon (th) and an undivided cerebral rudiment (ch).

To the roof of the thalamencephalon is attached a flattened sack (pn) which is probably the pineal gland.

The optic chiasma, where present, is involved in the floor of the thalamencephalon and forms a large, upwardly-projecting ridge.

It arises (fig. 253 pn) as a sack-like diverticulum of the thalamencephalon extending at first both backwards and forwards.

The remaining parts of the thalamencephalon have however undergone considerable changes.

The anterior wall of the thalamencephalon as well as its roof are very thin.

The floor of the thalamencephalon projects downwards and backwards as the infundibulum.

The proximal extremity attached to the roof of the thalamencephalon forms a special section, known as the infra-pineal process.

The posterior of the two divisions of the fore-brain forms the thalamencephalon.

During the same stage the pineal gland grows into a sack-like body, springing from the roof of the thalamencephalon, fig. 1b, pn.
