Dissection Instructions:
Rostral Mammillary Body--

Not much has changed from the last section.
We have indicated some tufts of choroid plexus in the third and lateral ventricles.
At this point, you should have fibers crossing between the two hippocampi, forming the commisure of the fornix (hippocampal commisure). They aren't distinctly visible because they are blending with fimbria and fornix fibers. The internal capsule is very prominent. The ventral aspect of the 3rd ventricle is fairly small.
