A section through the cerebral hemispheres, hypothalamus, metencephalon and medulla oblongata.

Observe:
1. The rostral part of the medial and lateral striatal ridges.
2. The large arteries in the subarachnoid space.
3. The trigeminal root lateral to the pons area.
4. The tract areas and primordial nuclei.
5. The anterior semicircular canal in the otic capsule.
