In the telencephalon-the new brain-the floral similarity increases. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This was the telencephalon, whose principal part was the neocortex, a dense rind of nerve fibers about an eighth of an inch thick that was simply molded over top of the existing mammal brain. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Enhanced telencephalon olfactory lobes…hammerheads can smell a droplet of blood a mile away. ❋ Dan Brown (2001)

Enhanced telencephalon olfactory lobes … hammerheads can smell a droplet of blood a mile away. ❋ Brown, Dan, 1964- (2001)

These guys have the best noses in the sea – enhanced telencephalon olfactory lobes. ❋ Brown, Dan, 1964- (2001)

The cerebral hemispheres themselves are the telencephalon ( "end-brain" G), because this is the end of the central nervous system if you work from the bottom up, whereas the basal ganglia, thalamus, and hypothalamus are the diencephalon { "between-brain" G}. ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1963)

—The telencephalon includes: (1) the cerebral hemispheres with their cavities, the lateral ventricles; and (2) the pars optica hypothalami and the anterior portion of the third ventricle (already described under the diencephalon). ❋ Unknown (1918)

The fore-brain or prosencephalon consists of: (1) the diencephalon, corresponding in a large measure to the third ventricle and the structures which bound it; and (2) the telencephalon, comprising the largest part of the brain, viz., the cerebral hemispheres; these hemispheres are intimately connected with each other across the middle line, and each contains a large cavity, named the lateral ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)

For descriptive purposes, however, it is more convenient to consider the whole of the third ventricle and its boundaries together; this necessitates the inclusion, under this heading, of the pars optica hypothalami and the corresponding part of the third ventricle—structures which properly belong to the telencephalon. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The anterior part of the tuber cinereum is derived from the posterior part of the floor of the telencephalon; the infundibulum and posterior lobe of the hypophysis arise as a downward diverticulum from the floor. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The fore-brain undergoes great modification: its anterior part or telencephalon expands laterally in the form of two hollow vesicles, the cavities of which become the lateral ventricles, while the surrounding walls form the cerebral hemispheres and their commissures; the cavity of the posterior part or diencephalon forms the greater part of the third ventricle, and from its walls are developed most of the structures which bound that cavity. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The rhinencephalon, associated with the sense of smell, is the oldest part of the telencephalon, and forms almost the whole of the hemisphere in some of the lower animals, e. g., fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The roof-plate of the telencephalon remains thin, and is continuous in front with the lamina terminalis and behind with the roof-plate of the diencephalon. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The rhinencephalon (Fig. 655) represents the oldest part of the telencephalon, and forms almost the whole of the hemisphere in fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The anterior part of the fore-brain, including the rudiments of the cerebral hemispheres, is named the telencephalon, and its posterior portion is termed the diencephalon; both of these contribute to the formation of the third ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The corpus striatum (Figs. 651 and 653) appears in the fourth week as a triangular thickening of the floor of the telencephalon between the optic recess and the interventricular foramen, and continuous behind with the thalamic part of the diencephalon. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The cerebral hemispheres arise as diverticula of the alar laminæ of the telencephalon (Figs. 650 to 654); they increase rapidly in size and ultimately overlap the structures developed from the mid - and hind-brains. ❋ Unknown (1918)
