Atlas of the Human Forebrain

Chapter 25 Atlas of the Human Forebrain*


When the nervous system is discussed in terms of functional subsystems, as in the preceding chapters, it is sometimes difficult to envision how the various parts are related to the whole. Therefore an abbreviated atlas is provided here using the same philosophy as in Chapter 15, with a wide variety of forebrain structures and a few brainstem structures labeled.


Only major structures that are mentioned prominently in this book are indicated. In addition, to keep the number of labels manageable, cerebral sulci and gyri are generally left unlabeled, and a number of structures that appear repeatedly are not labeled every time they appear. Very abbreviated descriptions of labeled structures are provided; additional details can be found elsewhere in the text and in the glossary.
