 that part where corpus striatum and thalamus meet. In this region, according

Bb, bulbus olfactorius; C. /., lateral limb of corpus striatum; C.m., medial segment (consisting of 

 the middle and inner limbs) of the corpus striatum. The furrow between these two parts 

 opens into the anterior olfactory lobe; hRL, posterior olfactory lobe; L. f., frontal lobe; L. 0., 

 occipital lobe; Og., olfactory nerve; R. z., recessus infundibuli; R. o., recessus (prse-?) opticus; 

 St., stalk of hemisphere (strio-thalamic junction); V.I., lateral ventricle; v.Rl.+Bb, anterior 

 olfactory lobe. 



to some, there is a fusion of the striatum, the medial wall of the hemisphere and 

 the anterior part of the thalamus. According to others, the increase in bulk of

this region is produced by a simple thickening of the walls, thus causing a flat- 

 tening out or shallowing of the grooves marking the junctions of striatum and
