Diencephalon location
- around the 3rd ventricle
The cavity of the diencephalon is ----- the 3rd ventricle
All of the structures of the diencephalon are around the 3rd ventricle, so the cavity of the diencephalon is the 3rd ventricle.
2/
Diencephalon embryology
- prosencephalon
3/
Components (ETHOS)
Epithalamus (habenular & pineal)
- sleep-wake cycle
Thalamus
- relay center for sensory information
Hypothalamus (mammillary body & tuber cinereum)
- autonomic function & endocrine system
Optic nerve
Subthalamus
- inhibition of involuntary movements
4/
Epithalamus
“melatonin control”
5/
Function
- connects limbic system to other parts of the brain
- controls the circadian rhythm
6/
Components - PHAS
Pineal gland
HAbenula
HAbenular commissure
Stria medullaris
