One of the most unusual findings of our scans was that while the nuns were resting (not praying), the activity in their thalami (there are actually two, one on the left and one on the right) was asymmetrical, with one side more active than the other. ❋ Andrew Newberg (2006)
It has been shown that the brain function pattern changes throughout the first year of life, with initial increases in the sensorimotor cortex, thalami, brain stem, and cerebellar vermis. ❋ Andrew Newberg (2006)
One of these, a double mass, occupies a central position between the hemispheres, and is called the _optic thalami_. ❋ Francis M. Walters (N/A)
Behind the chiasma the fibers grow backward as the optic tracts to the thalami and mid-brain. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The third ventricle is a median cleft between the two thalami. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The nerve fibers which form the underlying white substance of the hemispheres consist at first of outgrowths from the cells of the corpora striata and thalami; later the fibers from the cells of the cortex are added. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The lateral portions of its lower surface rest upon the thalami, while its medial portion is in contact with the epithelial roof of the third ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The two thalami are visible, for a time, on the surface of the brain, but are subsequently hidden by the cerebral hemispheres which grow backward over them. ❋ Unknown (1918)
In front, the superior is separated from the medial surface by a salient margin, the tænia thalami, along which the epithelial lining of the third ventricle is reflected on to the under surface of the tela chorioidea. ❋ Unknown (1918)
One of these is named the ganglionic system, and the vessels belonging to it supply the thalami and corpora striata; the other is the cortical system, and its vessels ramify in the pia mater and supply the cortex and subjacent brain substance. ❋ Unknown (1918)
At the junction of the roof and anterior wall of the ventricle, and situated between the thalami behind and the columns of the fornix in front, is the interventricular foramen (foramen of Monro) through which the third communicates with the lateral ventricles. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The thalami extend medialward and gradually narrow the cavity between them into a slit-like aperture which forms the greater part of the third ventricle; their medial surfaces ultimately adhere, in part, to each other, and the intermediate mass of the ventricle is developed across the area of contact. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The under surface rests upon the tela chorioidea of the third ventricle, which separates it from the epithelial roof of that cavity, and from the medial portions of the upper surfaces of the thalami. ❋ Unknown (1918)
From its posterior half are given off a number of small branches, the postero-medial ganglionic branches, which, with similar vessels from the posterior cerebral, pierce the posterior perforated substance and supply the medial surface of the thalami and the walls of the third ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Between the columns of the fornix and the anterior ends of the thalami, an oval aperture is present on either side: this is the interventricular foramen, and through it the lateral ventricles communicate with the third ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The lateral wall is limited above by the tænia thalami. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The postero-medial ganglionic branches (Fig. 519) are a group of small arteries which arise at the commencement of the posterior cerebral artery: these, with similar branches from the posterior communicating, pierce the posterior perforated substance, and supply the medial surfaces of the thalami and the walls of the third ventricle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The trigonum habenulæ is a small depressed triangular area situated in front of the superior colliculus and on the lateral aspect of the posterior part of the tænia thalami. ❋ Unknown (1918)
