Document Summary
Externus: nucleus accumbens, head of the caudate and putamen meet. Caudate bulging into the lateral ventricle and the lentiform nucleus laterally distinction over the left side with the brown, more grey putamen. See a clear laterally and paler red for globus pallidus. Can see the difference between the externus and internus: nicely the anterior commissure and see amygdala, green is. Find the 2 lateral ventricles below corpus callosum and on either side of the septum pellicudium. Difference between the internus and externus: the putamen, internus and externus make up the lentiform nucleus (as it is shaped as a wedge) can see the thalamus: interthalamic adhesion (connecting l and r) 3rd ventricle surrounded by the grey matter: part of the hypothalamus. Superiorly; see the thin wall of the septum pellucidum separating right and left sides. Caudate nucleus: but since we are so back, we are looking at the body. Isolated and lateral view: the nucleus is a c shape.
