T-M Gross Features

The neuraxis bends sharply at the junction of the thalamus and midbrain. This cross section is taken at a level where the tear-drop shaped third ventricle communicates with the cerebral aqueduct. The brain surrounding the aqueduct is the midbrain. The lateral ventricles of each hemisphere appear twice in this section.
