MODULE 13 - SECTION 5 - THE HYPOTHALAMUS
The position of the hypothalamus within the brain is best seen in mid-sagittal views. The first one relates the hypothalamus to other regions, and the next defines the borders of the diencephalon (of which the hypothalamus is a part). The following view reminds you that the third ventricle separates the region into two halves and the last one shows how the hypothalamic sulcus forms a border between the thalamus and the hypothalamus. Our aim in these first few slides is simply to make certain you know where the hypothalamus is.
