Greek dia = between, and enkephalos = brain, hence in general the structures surrounding the 3rd ventricle. adjective - diencephalic.
connects the cerebrum to the brain stem.
So called "midbrain" or interbrain connected to the cerebral hemisphere; contains pituitary gland.
A division of the brain that includes the epithalamus, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
These are small white nerve centres. In this area lies the small hypothalamus, which controls appetite regulation, sexual arousal, thirst and temperature control, and some aspects of memory. [Go to source
A subdivision of the forebrain, comprising the thalamus and hypothalamus.
refers to the thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus and epithalamus
the caudal portion of forebrain after it divides into 2 parts in the 5 secondary vesicle brain (week 5). (cavity- 3rd ventricle) Forms the thalmus and other nuclei in the adult brain.
This area houses the hypothalamus, which regulates appetite, sleep, and body temperature.
the posterior division of the forebrain; connects the cerebral hemispheres with the mesencephalon
The diencephalon is the portion of the embryonic brain that develops into the thalamus, hypothalamus, and associated structures, all of which make up the diencephalon (hindbrain) in the adult. It includes structures important in the visual pathway. Some sources consider the adult diencephalon to be part of the brainstem.
posterior part of the forebrain, consisting of the hypothalamus, thalamus, metathalamus, and epithalamus; the subthalamus is often recognized as a distinct division.
Subdivision of the brain consisting of the thalamus, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and epithalamus. It has important sensory, motor, endocrine, and visceral functions.
dia (through), enkephalos (brain).
Part of the forebrain; consists of the thalamus and hypothalamus.
The lower area of the forebrain, containing the thalamus and hypothalamus.
Portion of the brain in the region of the third ventricle that includes the thalamus and hypothalamus.
a region of the brain stem including the thalamus and hypothalamus
Composed of the thalamus and hypothalamus.
Gr. dia (di-) = through, and encephalon = brain. Hence the "between" brain.
part of the brain consisting primarily of the thalamus and the hypothalamus
Continue moving backward in the slide until the mesencephalon disappears and the diencephalon becomes apparent. Between the diencephalon and the telencephalon is the pineal body, a small round structure. The roof of the diencephalon becomes the cerebellum and the floor becomes the pons.
Gr. 'between-brain,' comprising epithalamus ( Ch. 22), thalamus ( Ch. 22), and hypothalamus ( Ch. 21).
The diencephalon is the region of the brain that includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, prethalamus or subthalamus and pretectum. It is derived from the prosencephalon. The diencephalon is located at the midline of the brain, above the mesencephalon of the brain stem.
