CHAPTER The dorsal boundary of the diencephalon is the third ventricle as it extends over the ovoid mass of the thalamus. The lateral boundary of the diencephalon is formed by the fibers of the internal capsule, which is a thick, fan-shaped band of white matter that contains axons passing to and from the cortex. At the level of the diencephalon, the cerebral aqueduct opens up into the third ventricle. The floor of the ventricle is formed by the hypothalamus. The walls of the ventricle are formed by the thalamus.
2: GROUND PLAN OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM II 43 The thalamus is a collection of nuclei, all of which project to the cerebral cortex. The thalamus is divided into medial, anterior, and lateral subdivisions by a thin lamina of white matter termed the internal medullary lamina. Small collections of neurons are embedded in the laminae (the intralaminar nuclei). Encapsulating the thalamus is a thin band of white matter termed the external medullary lamina. 12. Different thalamic nuclei receive input from different sensory systems.
