The pituitary develops in the third week of embryogenesis from interactions between the diencephalon part of the brain and the nasal cavity.
12.
The alar plate of the prosencephalon expands to form the cerebral hemispheres ( the telencephalon ) whilst its basal plate becomes the diencephalon.
13.
These factors are also expressed in the ventral diencephalon, with Foxd1 expressed near the chasm, while Foxg1 is expressed more rostrally.
14.
It is this dilatation that causes pressure to be applied to the surrounding structures of the third ventricle, such as the diencephalon.
15.
The "'fields of Forel "'are areas in a deep part of the brain known as the diencephalon.
16.
The hypothalamus is located on the diencephalon and forms the floor and part of the lateral walls of the third ventricle of the cerebrum.
17.
It is the most ventral part of the diencephalon and contains three regions : the supraoptic region, the tuberal region, and the mammillary region.
18.
The forebrain is connected to the midbrain via the diencephalon ( in the diagram, this structure is below the optic lobes and consequently not visible ).
19.
A 10-year-old girl in another case had a hypothalamic astrocytoma removed, which caused a postoperative clot leading to diencephalon and midbrain compression.
20.
Thyroid transcription factor-1 ( TTF-1 ) is a protein that regulates transcription of genes specific for the thyroid, lung, and diencephalon.
