Set up the stage. Center the image if necessary. If necessary, don't forget to move the image around and change the magnification. Click off 1/ and then 2/! Now you see, in the middle of the picture, the back/dorsal side of the brainstem and spinal cord. The cerebral cortex is gone and the bend between the brainstem and the midbrain has been straightened (cf. with the picture "Central nervous system nuclei"). A strong black outline separates the midbrain from its surroundings. The dorsal surface of the sacral (thalamus) is transparent and the nuclei of the thalamus can be seen. The epithalamus is implied and some hypothalamus nuclei appear in bright green. The bright blue 3rd cerebral ventricle is sandwiched between the right and left visual mounds. The cerebellum is split into a hay. and a we. half.

Step 1.

EPITHALAMUS Close (check off) the "Start step". Now the halves of the vision mound lie as two dark grey egg-shaped bodies with marked epithalamus details and with an intermediate clear blue 3rd ventricle. Unfold the epithalamus list! Use the links to identify the different structures and check them off in turn.

Step 2.

THALAMUS. Dorsal thalamus Close (check off) the "Start step"! Here, the syn-high halves are located as two dark grey egg-shaped cell masses with an intermediate clear blue 3rd ventricle. By means of 1 to 8, you shall obtain the contents of the visual pile, first of white matter 1 and 2, and then of gray matter (nuclei 3 to 8). Check and unfold the lists 1 through 8. Then check off, in order starting from list 3, the different core representatives. Identify the cores and follow the links. The end result will be yellow kernels on a white background

Step 3.

THALAMUS. Ventral thalamus / subthalamus. Close (check off) the "Starting step" and "Thalamus dorsalis, nuclei"! Now you are in the Ventral thalamus. Open/expand the list, identify and check off the different structures.

Step 4.

HYPOTHALAMUS. Close (check off) the "Starting stage", "Thalamus dorsalis, nuclei" and "Ventral thalamus"! Now you are in "Hypothalamus regions" (1/) with an upper recessed detail box from the image Mid-brain/Diencephalon. 1.Unfold the list, first identify and tick off (extinguish) the different areas and then light them again. Then, in turn, go similarly through 2/ through 7/. Note that 4/ is missing list.
