 THE TELENCEPHALON, which forms the
cerebral hemispheres.
 THE DIENCEPHALON, which forms the optic
cup and stalk,pituitary gland , thalamus,
hypothalamus, and epiphysis.
 The diencephalon, consist of a roof plate
and two alar plates but there are no floor
and basal plates
 a single layer of ependymal cells with
vascular mesenchyme give rise to the
choroid plexus of the third ventricle .
 The most caudal part of the roof plate
develops into the pineal body, or epiphysis.
 serves as a channel through which light and
darkness affect endocrine and behavioral
rhythms.
 lateral walls of the diencephalon.
 the hypothalamic sulcus, divides the plate
into a dorsal and a ventral region, the
thalamus and hypothalamus,
 As a result of proliferative activity, the
thalamus gradually projects into the lumen
of the diencephalon,forming the massa
intermedia, or interthalamic connexus.
 The telencephalon, the most rostral of the
brain vesicles, consists of
 two lateral outpocketings, the cerebral
hemispheres
 a median portion, the lamina terminales.
 The cavities of the hemispheres, the lateral
ventricles, communicate with the lumen of
the diencephalon through the
interventricular foramina of Monro
 arise at the beginning of the fifth week of
development as bilateral evaginations of the
lateral wall of the prosencephalon.
 By the middle of the second month the basal
part of the hemispheres begins to grow and
bulges, has a striated appearance and is
known as the corpus striatum .
 Near the diencephlon a single layer of ependymal
cells covered by vascular mesenchyme form the
choroid plexus.
 Immediately above the choroidal fissure, the
wall of the hemisphere thickens, forming the
hippocampus.
 With further expansion, the hemispheres
cover the lateral aspect of the diencephalon,
mesencephalon, and cephalic portion of the
metencephalon

 internal capsule divide nuclear mass of the
corpus striatum by axons passing to and from
the cortex of the hemisphere.
 At the same time, the medial wall of the
area between the frontal and temporal lobes
becomes depressed and is known as the
insula .
 During the final part of fetal life, the surface
of the cerebral hemispheres grows so rapidly
that a great many convolutions (gyri)
separated by fissures and sulci appear on
its surface
 Cortex Development.
 The cerebral cortex develops from the
pallium, which has two regions:
 (a) the paleopallium, or archipallium,
immediately lateral to the corpus striatum,
 (b) the neopallium,between the
hippocampus and the paleopallium
 a number of fiber bundles, cross the
midline, connect the right and left halves of
the hemispheres.
 The most important fiber bundles make use
of the lamina terminalis.
 anterior commissure.
 hippocampal commissure, or
 fornix commissure.
 corpus callosum.
 posterior and habenular commissures,
 the optic chiasma
 Holoprosencephaly
 Exencephaly
 Hydrocephalus
 Microcephaly
