  2. Diencephalon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diencephalon

    The diencephalon is the region of the embryonic vertebrate neural tube that gives rise to anterior forebrain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, posterior portion of the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland. The diencephalon encloses a cavity called the third ventricle.

  3. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    The alar plate of the prosencephalon expands to form the telencephalon which gives rise to the cerebral hemispheres, whilst its basal plate becomes the diencephalon. The optical vesicle (which eventually become the optic nerve, retina and iris) forms at the basal plate of the prosencephalon.

  4. Forebrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forebrain

    At the five-vesicle stage, the forebrain separates into the diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and epithalamus) and the telencephalon which develops into the cerebrum. The cerebrum consists of the cerebral cortex , underlying white matter , and the basal ganglia .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammillary_body

    They are located on the undersurface of the brain that, as part of the diencephalon, form part of the limbic system. They are located at the ends of the anterior arches of the fornix. [3] They consist of two groups of nuclei, the medial mammillary nuclei and the lateral mammillary nuclei. [4]

  6. Development of the nervous system in humans - Wikipedia

    These are the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon which later become the lateral ventricles, third ventricles, aqueduct, and upper and lower parts of the fourth ventricle from the telencephalon to the myelencephalon, during adulthood. 3D ultrasound imaging allows in-vivo depictions of ideal brain ...

  7. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The forebrain separates into two vesicles – an anterior telencephalon and a posterior diencephalon. The telencephalon gives rise to the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and related structures. The diencephalon gives rise to the thalamus and hypothalamus. The hindbrain also splits into two areas – the metencephalon and the myelencephalon. The ...

  8. Eye development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_development

    Chordamesoderm induces the anterior portion of the neural tube to form the precursors of the synapomorphic tripartite brain of vertebrates, and it will form a bulge called the diencephalon. Further induction by the chordamesoderm will form a protrusion: the optic vesicle.

  9. Neural tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tube

    The prosencephalon further goes on to develop into the telencephalon and the diencephalon (the optic vesicles and hypothalamus). The mesencephalon stays as the midbrain. The rhombencephalon develops into the metencephalon (the pons and cerebellum) and the myelencephalon (the medulla oblongata).
