THE TELENCEPHALON, which forms the
cerebral hemispheres.
THE DIENCEPHALON, which forms the optic
cup and stalk,pituitary gland , thalamus,
hypothalamus, and epiphysis.
The diencephalon, consist of a roof plate
and two alar plates but there are no floor
and basal plates
a single layer of ependymal cells with
vascular mesenchyme give rise to the
choroid plexus of the third ventricle .
The most caudal part of the roof plate
develops into the pineal body, or epiphysis.
serves as a channel through which light and
darkness affect endocrine and behavioral
rhythms.
lateral walls of the diencephalon.
the hypothalamic sulcus, divides the plate
into a dorsal and a ventral region, the
thalamus and hypothalamus,
As a result of proliferative activity, the
thalamus gradually projects into the lumen
of the diencephalon,forming the massa
intermedia, or interthalamic connexus.
The telencephalon, the most rostral of the
brain vesicles, consists of
two lateral outpocketings, the cerebral
hemispheres
a median portion, the lamina terminales.
The cavities of the hemispheres, the lateral
ventricles, communicate with the lumen of
the diencephalon through the
interventricular foramina of Monro
arise at the beginning of the fifth week of
development as bilateral evaginations of the
lateral wall of the prosencephalon.
By the middle of the second month the basal
part of the hemispheres begins to grow and
bulges, has a striated appearance and is
known as the corpus striatum .
Near the diencephlon a single layer of ependymal
cells covered by vascular mesenchyme form the
choroid plexus.
Immediately above the choroidal fissure, the
wall of the hemisphere thickens, forming the
hippocampus.
With further expansion, the hemispheres
cover the lateral aspect of the diencephalon,
mesencephalon, and cephalic portion of the
metencephalon
internal capsule divide nuclear mass of the
corpus striatum by axons passing to and from
the cortex of the hemisphere.
At the same time, the medial wall of the
area between the frontal and temporal lobes
becomes depressed and is known as the
insula .
During the final part of fetal life, the surface
of the cerebral hemispheres grows so rapidly
that a great many convolutions (gyri)
separated by fissures and sulci appear on
its surface
Cortex Development.
The cerebral cortex develops from the
pallium, which has two regions:
(a) the paleopallium, or archipallium,
immediately lateral to the corpus striatum,
(b) the neopallium,between the
hippocampus and the paleopallium
a number of fiber bundles, cross the
midline, connect the right and left halves of
the hemispheres.
The most important fiber bundles make use
of the lamina terminalis.
