Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...successively the gray substance of the convolutions of the island, the anterior wall, and the external capsule, which lays bare the external face of the lenticular ganglion. In hardened specimens the separation between the external face of the lenticular ganglion and the external capsule is effected without art and with the utmost ease. This is because there are no medullary fasciculi--and you see that there are no vessels--which bind the external capsule to the third segment of the lenticular ganglion. From the connections which we have outlined it might be said that the three ganglia or gray central masses--thalamus opticus, caudated ganglion, and lenticular ganglion--are in some sense, as Foville has said, appendices to the internal capsule, like cotyledonal prolongations of the crura cerebri. On the side of the ventricles the thalami optici and the caudated ganglia are isolated; the lenticular ganglion is also isolated, virtually, at least, on the side of the island. These gray ganglia, then, form a distinct system from the other parts of the brain, as well by their connections as by their mode of vascularization. Vertical sections will enable you to easily understand the relations of the central parts. I will not at this point dwell upon the structural details of the different ganglia, but will return to them as occasion requires. Some examination and idea of the construction of the internal capsule, however, is indispensable. The internal capsule, in part at least, is the prolongation, not of the entire crus cerebri, but of the foot or crusta, the inferior part only. The tegmentum or superior part, which is separated from the foot by the locus niger, enters into relations especially with the tubercula quadrigemina and the thalami optici; it takes no d...
