here is a more detailed look at the structures of the forebrain. The internal capsule is the large collection of axons connecting the cortical white matter with the thalamus, and the corpus callosum is the enormous band of axons connecting the cerebral cortex of the two hemispheres. The fornix loops around the stalk of the lateral ventricle. The neurons of the closely associated septal area (from saeptum, Latin for 'partition') contribute axons to the fornix and are involved in memory storage. Three important collections of neurons in the basal telencephalon are also shown: the caudate nucleus, the putamen, and the globus pallidus. Collectively, these structures, called the basal ganglia, are an important part of the brain systems that control movement.
