Well, we call this one of our "trifecta" slides. The sagittal view may help you understand that the ventral part of the slide passes through the basilar pons (mostly clipped off in this view), the mid portion of the slide passes through the tegmentum of the midbrain, and the most dorsal part of the slide passes through the thalamus. This is spelled outmore specifically in the lo-mag atlas view of Atlas 3.

Here, the medial lemniscus runs in the tegmentum of the

midbrain. There are some interesting structures nearby: you are not "responsible" for them at this point, but click on Atlas 1 just for fun.
