PPT-Diencephalon The diencephalon is an interbrain structure lies between the two cerebral

Divisions of diencephalon Diencephalon Thalamus It is an important relay station has an egg shaped and it represents a large mass of gray matter The two thalami are situated on each side of the midline slit like cavity the third ventricle Lateral to each thalamus is the internal capsule white matter. A detailed understanding of the blood supply of the cerebral cortex and its fiber systems is extremely important since blockage and rupture of these vessels accounts for a large proportion of the pathology of the brain An extremely important point i Weighs about 3 pounds .
