1. DiencephalonProsencephalon [Forebrain]

1. Telencephalon2. Diencephalon

Page 3: DIENCEPHALON

2. Diencephalon is composed of…(1) thalamus (2) subthalamus [-sub: 'inferior to”](3) epithalamus [-epi: “superior to”](4) hypothalamus [-hypo: “under” ]

A midline structure with symmetrical right and left halves

2. Diencephalon extends...

Page 5: DIENCEPHALON

• Only area exposed to the surface in the intact brain.

• Formed by hypothalamic and other structures, which include, from anterior to posterior:o optic chiasma o infundibulum with the tuber cinereum [x]o mammillary bodies

2. Diencephalon’s inferior surface

[x]

Page 6: DIENCEPHALON

• Concealed by the fornix.

• The actual superior wall of the diencephalon is formed by roof of the third ventricle.

• A pair of vascular processes, choroid plexuses of the third ventricle, project downward from the midline into the cavity of the third ventricle and CSF is produced here.

2. Diencephalon’s superior surface

Superior part by medial surface of thalamus hypothalamic sulcus Inferior party by hypothalamus

stria medullaris thalami •Afferent fibers to the habenular nucleus

•Forms a ridge along the superior margin of the medial surface of the diencephalon

Page 9: DIENCEPHALON

3. Thalamus L. thalamus "inner chamber," from Gk. thalamos "inner chamber, bedroom"

Large ovoid mass of gray matter that forms the major part of the diencephalon.

On each side of the third ventricle.

Page 10: DIENCEPHALON

3. Thalamus

The superior surface of the thalamus is covered medially by the tela choroidea and the fornix

The inferior surface is continuous with the tegmentum of the midbrain.

Page 11: DIENCEPHALON

3. Thalamus The medial surface of the thalamus forms the superior part of the lateral wall of the third ventricle

Usually connected to the opposite thalamus by a band of gray matter, interthalamic connection (interthalamic adhesion- adhesio interthalamica- massa interrmedia)

Found in 70-80% of humans

Axial T2-weighted MR image C = caudate nucleus G = globus pallidus L = lentiform nucleus (G+P) P = putamen T = thalamus

Page 12: DIENCEPHALON

Important station that receives the main sensory tracts (except the olfactory pathway).

A station where much of the information is integrated and relayed to the cerebral cortex and many other subcortical regions.

A key role in the integration of visceral and somatic functions.

Page 13: DIENCEPHALON

3. Thalamus Anterior thalamic nuclei, which receive the mammilothalamic tract from the mammillary nuclei.

Associated with of that of the limbic system and is concerned with emotional tone and the mechanisms of recent memory.

Page 14: DIENCEPHALON

3. Thalamus Medial part of the thalamus large dorsomedial nucleus and several smaller nuclei. 2 connections with the whole prefrontal cortex and hypothalamic nuclei.

Responsible for

integration of a large variety of sensory information

relation of this information to one’s emotions

Stria terminalis: Runs @ lateral margin of thalamusFrom amygala to hypothalamusMajor output of amygdala

4. Hypothalamus

CHIEF OF THE HORMONES

from the region of the optic chiasma to the caudal border of the mammillary bodies

Page 18: DIENCEPHALON

4. Hypothalamus four distinct groups in the rostral-caudal plane of the third ventricle: 1. preoptic (above and in front of the optic chiasm - telencephalic

extension of the basal forebrain, but functionally diencephalonic)

2. chiasmatic (above and around the optic chiasm)

3. tuberal (above and around the "tuber cinereum", i.e. pituitary stalk)

4. posterior region which includes the mammillary bodies.

Page 19: DIENCEPHALON

4. Hypothalamus When observed from below, the hypothalamus is seen to be related to the following structures, from anterior to posterior: (1) optic chiasma(2) tuber cinereum & infundibulum(3) mammillary bodies
