The diencephalon is located between the cerebral hemispheres and above the midbrain. ... Structures of the diencephalon include the thalamus, hypothalamus, the optic tracts, optic chiasma, infundibulum, Ventricle III, mammillary bodies, posterior pituitary gland and the pineal gland.

The diencephalon consists of the thalamus,epithalamus (includes pineal gland), subthalamus and hypothalamus. Some sources classify the diencephalon as part of the brain stem. This is not the view of the majority and, for the purposes of this class, ... This name does not refer to the location of the structure, as all parts...

Vital structures of the brain such as the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, and the pituitary gland are all housed within the autonomic region within the diencephalon. ... Intensely specialized areas of nuclei relay the necessary impulses which enter the brain directly to the exact location within the cerebral cortex.

However, a well-defined out-pouching of the brain in this embryo (left arrow) may be evidence for the location of the diencephalon, since the diencephalon is the only site where such out-pouchings normally occur, including the infundibulum, the epiphysis, and the recessus opticus.

First, the location of LHRH and TH-IR neuronal elements was analyzed, and then the relationship between the two different systems was examined. The LHRH-IR cell bodies were mainly present in the medial preoptic and infundibular areas. ... However, in the preoptic and caudal parts of the diencephalon, only a few...

First, the location of LHRH and TH-IR neuronal elements was analyzed, and then the relationship between the two different systems was examined. The LHRH-IR cell bodies were mainly present ... To reveal the location of these juxtapositions, we also mapped the catecholaminergic and LHRH-IR structures in the human diencephalon.
