The medial surface of the hemisected brain is the most interesting of all because it reveals not only another aspect of the hemisphere but also the midsagittal surfaces of the diencephalon and brainstem. We will leave the brainstem structures for Module 2 and mainly look at the hemisphere.

But we show you this view just to tell you that, starting with Module 3, we will be tracing ascending and descending pathway through the brain, sometimes using views like this one.
