The more inferior of the two horizontal slices Notice that the Caudate Nucleus closely resembles the coronal slices, although the Internal Capsule is striated rather than speckled The nuclei of the Thalamus are distinguishable ( LGN and MGN most notably)

The more inferior of the two horizontal slices Notice that the Caudate Nucleus closely resembles the coronal slices, although the Internal Capsule is striated rather than speckled The nuclei of the Thalamus are distinguishable (LGN and MGN most notably) Notice that the Optic Tract is directly adjacent to the LGN The Fornix and Mammillo-Thalamic Tract are visible in some specimens Horizontal Lab 1

Horizontal Lab 2 • The more superior of the two horizontal slices • Notice that the Caudate Nucleus closely resembles the coronal slices, although in this slice there is no Globus Pallidus • The nuclei of the Thalamus are less distinguishable • The Amygdala is no longer visible, but has been replaced in position by the Claustrum • The Superior Colliculus and Pineal Body are visible in this slice • The Septum Pellucidum is visible in some slices
